"A greater focus on raiding tombs, and massively improved stealth combat, make this one of Lara Croft's best modern adventures."

DarkStation

"If Uncharted rose to fame with weapons it stole from washed-out Tomb Raider (before its reboot), Shadow of the Tomb Raider grabs them back, making it visually and gameplaywise...

GameStar

91 / 100
"The Tomb Raider trilogy presents itself in its best form for the final. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an all-round great action-adventure game."

I was expecting this entry to be the worst in the series from other reviews and in the end I ended up completing the game with 100% items and challenges collected. Can't say it's better than the previous two, but it's definitely more of what made the games great.

Staff Review
The Tomb Raider reboot was warmly welcomed by Lara Croft fans basically action-adventure fans alike, and this final installment in the new trilogy does not disappoint. The unforgiving jungles, the challenging puzzle-ridden tombs and, of course, the climactic end to Lara's current storyline. The Definitive Edition also includes all the awesome DLC too, adding more campaign hours, tomb quests, weapons, and skills. Don't just play one of the reboot series, play the lot!
