The editors liked
Peru makes for a fantastic setting
Graphically stunning
Improved stealth options
Large hub areas to explore
Challenge tombs are still great
The editors didn't like
But they might still be a little bit too easy and short lived for some
Writing a bit on the cheesy side
Shooting is good
But not great
It's a greatest hits package rather than a brave new direction

Challenge tombs are impressive and satisfying to solve, Dense, beautiful environments and hub areas are exciting to explore, Tense traversal setpieces highlight great level design
Stealth feels inconsistent and unsophisticated, Combat mechanics feel clumsy and unsuited to most encounters, Platforming can be frustratingly imprecise
If you liked the last two, not much has changed, Some of the puzzle-centric tombs feel delightfully retro, Great at stringing you along from collectible to collectible
If you liked the last two, not much has changed, Noticeably sub-par voice acting in some scenes, Much of the story feels contrived, or full of holes
It's unsatisfying, is all. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, as I said up top, isn't a bad game—at least by traditional metrics. It's just not a good game either. It falls in that weird gray area of okay, like Mad Max or a Shadow of War. There's not much of subs...
Shadow of the Tomb Raider does a great job at being the definitive experience in this trilogy. While the ending could've used a little bit more explaining, the overall story is solid. Lara's challenges and sacrifices all come full circle here, even offe...

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a perfect example of a modern AAA video game. It has all the polish and extraordinary visuals you'd expect from the third entry in a huge franchise, but it's also held back by uninspired writing and an emphasis on archaic vide...

Ultimately, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a triumphant test of Lara's mind, body, and spirit. Intertwining story and gameplay, Eidos Montreal successfully completes Lara's long and tiring arc. They tie things up in a way that this could be a satisfying con...
