My main criticism of all three is how plain the worlds look. I think everything else is done extremely well--animations, combat, voice acting, movement. But they all three blend in together to me.


I can see that.

I think this one does exploration the best. I never finished Rise tbh..this one being more of the same didn't bug me.

I'm on chapter 11 but I'm stopping of the night.

The scene where she goes full on rambo?

Also I feel the graphics were such a great improvement from Rise.

Rise kind of felt like a step inbetween PS3 and PS4. Which makes sense because it was early on in Xbox Ones life span. I felt this was more vivid and the water exploration made it more fun.

I think the gameplay was improved in Shadow, but the story still wasn't very captivating (the trilogy's resolution was pretty trash-tier as well). Wasn't big on the addition of towns either, at least in the "thousands live here" sense. Having to change clothes to use vendors (or whatever that was) sucked. The buried items based off riddles were okay, though.

Rise of the Tomb Raider killed my motivation to finish the trilogy. It was just the same thing as the first game except with really awkward writing and ice instead of tropics.

The whole reason she did that was because she thought Jonah was dead. He then magically shows up as soon as she's done. No emotional impact at all.

The 1st one tries a bit too hard to be edgy.

Plus it was more gun based. Fuck shanty town.

Absolutely destroyed what should've been an emotional moment in the aftermath.

Shadow started good but then it slowly dawned on me that the game makers did not want to make a shooting game. They wanted to making a climbing and puzzle game and every once in a while you shot a guy. Graphics were great though and way better than Rise.

Rise was weird because it ran awful and looked worse than the reboot PS4 remaster.

Original reboot game was the best imo. Had the most action and combat.

Yeah the plot tried way too hard and it really felt the most on rails. It had the worst puzzles and exploration of the trilogy.

Haven't played Shadow, but Rise felt almost identical to the 2013 reboot (aside from obviously taking place in a different setting), both in gameplay and plot. The end game sequence in particular felt blatantly copy-pasted from the first game, right down to Lara dramatically climbing a tower with two opposing enemy sides fighting each other.

Oh and there still weren't enough tombs. In fact I'm pretty sure there were fewer.

I mean, the plot of the second one didn't make any sense. Everything you "discover" is stuff you can read about on Wikipedia, it was like they were trying to make Eastern Orthodoxy as mysterious as possible but it just came off really awkwardly.

And I don't know about the puzzles in Shadow but the ones in Rise were nothing too great either.

They wanted to do Islam without naming it lol.

I found that funny. Shadow is a continuation of Rise sadly. But the story really isnt the main focus.

The plot in all three games are bad. But the first one is especially embarassing for their attempt to give Lara a gritty origin. The characters were all just awful.

The side tombs in Rise and Shadow are better than anything in 2013.

It wasn't Islam (not in Rise at least, not sure if you're talking about Shadow), it was Eastern Orthodox Christians - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitezh So it was awkward af when Lara was like "they believed in a... god figure of some kind, interesting!" because you're like "Yeah it's the Christian God wtf".

ugh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but that's just sad if they repeat the same scenario again. Like, come on.
