Launch trailer:
IGN: 9.0 http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/09/10/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-review 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 she was when we were first introduced to her more than 20 years ago. Game Informer: 7.5 https://www.gameinformer.com/review/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider/in-the-shadow-of-something-greater Lara Croft often throws herself headfirst into the action without seeing the bigger picture. In a way, thats a good a parallel for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Parts feel rushed with odd scene jumps and some of the gameplay systems feel half-baked. The game has its standout moments, but its also full of unrealized potential. Easy Allies: 8.5 While it may not have a ton of new features or a gripping story, Shadow of the Tomb Raider improves upon just about every aspect of the previous titles. Its combat is a bit tighter, characters feel more personal, and the locations you visit are more intriguing than ever. GameSpot: 6.0 https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-review-guerilla-girl/1900-6416982/ Thankfully, the parts of Tomb Raider that make it really fantastic--uncovering the mystery of ancient ruins, solving impressive challenge tombs, and exploring exotic environments--are still here in Shadow, and they are just as outstanding as they have always been. But the core mechanics that have been with the series for half a decade are starting to show their limitations. --- JonThePenguin http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion ...

currently playing the second
while it's fun I'm noticing that a lot of it feels kind of repetitive and a little rehashed from the last game. hoping that's not as much of an issue in Shadow --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can't believe they're releasing this so close to Spider-Man.
Because I would 100% be buying it and playing it if it weren't. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ill be honest, I never finished 2013. Mostly because my save file corrupted around the part where

More of the same it seems
Sounds good. Just means I'll get it once it's 10 dollars on PC. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Oh boy Gamespot
I mean, I'll play it regardless, but it does sound like my problems with the second game are here too I never had a real problem with "more of the same", considering Pokemon and Mega Man are my favorite franchies, but it was really painful how similar Rise of the Tomb Raider was to Tomb Raider Another one that plays exactly like those two...might be a overkill --- 3DS FC : 3411-1762-0066 ...

Looks like this'll be a great $20 game a year from now.
I enjoyed the first game, and thought the second game was decent despite being more of the same, but I'm definitely a little fatigued on the core gameplay loop and don't really care about a lot of the side mission stuff, which means a third game of more of the same doesn't sound particularly interesting. --- The final Undisputed Champion in UCA history. ...

I didn't finish Rise of the Tomb Raider because it felt too "been there, done that" - and it wasn't as good due to substantially fewer characters to give a damn about. Plus,
I will likely get this one at Steam's Holiday 2019 sale - 15 months off - for $10-15, if at all. I don't buy many games anymore seeing as I have a crazy backlog >_> --- ~ BlueCrystalTear (Sig in progress) ~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

I beat 2013. Didn't finish Rise. I should probably do that before I play this, I imagine, but I don't feel strongly compelled to go back for it.

I think me and my friends are somehow the only people who absolutely adore these games.
I see these sort of comments in this topic everywhere else, but they sell great so I guess there's more people who love it. Idk. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wow, whens the last time a big title like this has had such wildly different scores? The Last Guardian had a huge spread too. Also to this point this game straight up got 2/5 in The Telegraph, damn. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh BKSheikah ... Copied to Clipboard!

2013 was legit
Had the sense it would be diminishing returns after that. I'm gonna play this, but it will likely be a Christmas thing. --- Not to be confused with XIII_Stones. ... Copied to Clipboard!
