The editors didn't like
Lara still a one-dimensional heroine
Still not enough tombs
Open world mechanics like crafting and hunting can feel restricted in such a linear game
The camera can be pretty unhelpful when you're trying to climb tricky overhangs
Voice acting on Lara can be dreary
Takes a while to warm up
Sleuthing tactics may not be to all tastes after the previous two games
Lara completes her growth as the Tomb Raider, The Paititi hub works very well in synergy with the story to contextualize Lara's efforts, Spectacular audiovisuals with 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos, Being able to independently change difficulty for combat, explor
Gameplay mechanics saw just a few tweaks from Rise and most of them were underutilized in practice, The otherwise great immersion is a bit hurt by the static world
Shadow of the Tomb Raider succeeds in giving Lara the character growth she needed and also brings the reboot trilogy to a satisfying closure. It does so mostly by refining the strong gameplay foundation set with the previous installments while delivering...
A engaging dive into Lara Croft, Outstanding presentation, Smooth, cinematic gameplay, Stays fresh with new mechanics
Gunplay is still weak, especially when forced, Some segments enforce overly strict linearity

Abstract: This is it. Lara Croft has finally transformed into the ultimate predator in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the third game in the action adventure rebooted series. She's back with more abilities and weapons, and this time she's headed to the lost city of Pai...
With a story that manages to satisfactorily tread the line between high-concept fun and grounded character exploration, Shadow of the Tomb Raider meaningfully wraps up the journey Lara began in 2013 and convincingly leaves her in a place resembling where...
Abstract: When publisher Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics announced that they were rebooting the beloved Tomb Raider series, fans were rightfully worried. After all, this is Lara Croft we're talking about, a video game icon and a title that has inspired a legion of successors. But through all the skepticism, Square Enix delivered a new improved Lara, one that was equal parts tough and vulnerable and placed her in seemingly insurmountable odds. She, like us were trying to find her place in the world, it just so happens hers is raiding tombs and stopping supernatural horrors from wiping out the world.

Abstract: With more open world exploration, more climbing, more tombs and more options for combat than ever before, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a familiar but improved adventure and a gripping conclusion to the rebooted series that began in 2013. Dark and dirty bu...
