Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

best tomb raider game, fantastic game, great setting and game play.

A true "Tomb Raider" game,unlike the first two which are more combat & spectacle.

Shadow >>>> Tomb raider >>>> Rise of the tomb raider

Most of the game is about exploring challenge tombs & crypts,and they are all great 😀

The dlcs also contain more tombs to explore.

Surprisingly just as good as the other last 2. I'm not a butt guy, however. What they did to her in this game will never be forgiven.

Definitely the best part of Tomb Raider. Good graphics, good riddles, the atmosphere of the jungle is a little scary, but at the same time it is fraught with mystery. It's great that you can improve weapons and, for example, put silencers even on a shotgun, wow (this is a must-have). Excellent stealth, more than realistic, enemies notice you very quickly if you behave like a noob. The only drawback is the costumes, which are very limited and specific. It really pissed me off. Lara Croft is amazing, the only thing is that her mouth is always slightly open, which is also a little annoying. Well, anyway, the game deserves 8/10. Absolutely.

there's some bugs, for example I can't make the lunge no matter how many times I tried and unable to move certain objects for some unknown reason

This is the best of the reboot trilogy in my opinion. Lara feels like the struggles over the previous two games have caused her to evolve into a true warrior in this one. I love the jungle setting, the added mechanics of covering yourself in mud to be even more stealthy, and overall this is my favorite new Tomb Raider game. The other two are definitely worth playing, but I think this one is the strongest. Check 'em out!

It is good game with acceptable story line. This game has all the elements of the modern AAA titles and this is an old game too but the graphics is well and good. To play this game, it is not essential to play previous two games though the story is linked but in this game there is not much references to the previous two games.
This game is not without its downsides. As the end of the trilogy, the story could have been enrich and depth to the character's story could be more refined. though all of defaults may pose minor hiccups, I LIKED THIS GAME.

Bought this game a while back played it right through to complete the storyline before moving on to complete the side quests before the game crashed and haven't been able to since due to the game not being able to sync with the cloud. I was left with no choice but to have to uninstall the game. So annoying.

I'm enjoying the game; however, I'm not enjoying it as much as I did with the 2013 Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Sometimes it can be a little bit more confusing on where to go then it's predecessors. It's a beautiful game though and I'm really enjoying the story but I'd also recommend maybe only purchasing it when it's on sale.

Good but...
The game is good but it's like they tried too hard and added too much stuff. If you are the kind of personn that want to get 100% of everything, at some point, near the end there is a lot of stuff that do not make sense, some tombs/challenges seems to be half finish and there are puzzles that you cannot reach. The last 4 tombs are way too late in the game and you cannot really take advantage of what they give you unless you replay the game with the option to keep your stuff. So yes a good game, but it does not match the quality of "Rise of the Tomb".

I played it on Xbox and just wanted it on here, hard to replay as it is so memorable to me. I say that is a good thing. Game really stuck with me with the story and cinematics. If anything I bought it again to support the devs.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a must-play for the series and newcomers alike. It delivers a rich, immersive experience that combines stunning visuals, a gripping storyline, and challenging gameplay. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-time explorer, this game is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Awesome game, very well optimised and 10/10 story. Looking forward for the next game.

This game is very easy to understand and sometimes I get confused with the puzzle but I always figure it out somehow. Anyway I rate this game a solid 8/10. You should get it too to whoever is reading my post

its a good adventure game , some seen look very horror the sounds and the graphics are awesome top notch game , i just buy into the sale just 300 rs and totally worth it

Mediocre gameplay with a boring story.

Shadow is my favourite of the reboot tomb raider games, the story is interesting and emotional and I love Lara's relationship with Jonah, it was lovely seeing him with a more personal storyline.
The dynamic difficulty settings are one of the best demonstrations of accessibility and preference being executed brilliantly to customize your experience based on ability, needs and what aspects of the game you find most enjoyable. Personally I enjoy the easiest combat with hardest puzzles and navigation, and this game delivered on that completely.

very very good game. and no all you cynical people its not just because Lara is bang tidy, its a good game regardless. I'm a massive Indiana Jones fan. Films mainly, some of the games along the years, (lego indy games are excellent). There is room in the world of fiction for both of them. No bother. But nathan drake? nah, nah son, twos company, threes a crowd. shadow of the tomb raider is excellent. if you want more detail play the bloody game. I've said all im gonna.

This game is one big wet fart. You play Tomb Raider so you can be a sneaky-smart female Indiana Jones, and instead you're playing as Doom Guy with a bow and arrow. By the time you get to this game, you really don't give a shit about the plot anymore. They try to make you care about whats happening, but there really isn't any point. Didn't even get close to finishing, it's just plain bad.

Not a bad ending to the trilogy story wise but not as good as the second game (Rise of The Tomb Raider). the level designs weren't the best making some part difficult to progress due to a the game not registering actions or moves

probably my fav tomb raider of all time
graphics-9/10
gameplay-8/10 man using the bow feels so good in this game
story-7/10 lara childhood scene was the best

overall a 7/10

Tombs and puzzles are amazing. After the first tomb I had high hopes for the game, but most of the game is wondering around between long cut scenes with the occasional very dull fight. The skill tree and crafting is pointless and tedious. Why can't we just have the tombs? The game would benefit from being way more focussed. Stop forcing crafting into every game!

100% full collectibles! Survival caches, Mural, Documents, Monolith... you name it! With a litle help from social media, of course! Good game, still, Rise is better, in my opinion. If you like a game where you can search for itens and shoot some badies, grab tomb raider. For sure!

gameplay and graphics are good, def worth money and a playthrough if you're interested. BUT fr all the new tomb raider games can be summed up like: Lara does bad thing, Lara feels guilty about bad thing, and through the power of friendship and good morals the bad guy is killed and Lara succeeds. "boring" story telling, pls take risks and make your character imperfect and give them significant character flaws, that would be more interesting (to ME at least). 6.5/10 I skipped most cutscenes where people are just talking.

There are some mods lets you play only with one hand 🙂.In that case ....

Shadow of The Tomb Raider ❌ Shadow of Something Else ✅

'' RTX Shadow Raids The Tomb Of FPS ''

I completed this game and the other two in the trilogy and I put a lot of hours into all of them. Shadow is the most well made. It looks the best, plays the best, and it has the best world to explore. Seems like the devs put everything they had left into this one. I don't care about the story in Tomb Raider games but I had no problem with the story in Shadow. Story wasn't great and it wasn't bad either.

Shadow has by far the most tombs in the trilogy and some of them are incredible spectacles. The tombs are the highlight and represent how the devs progressively found their way back to the essence of what a Tomb Raider game is, which is exploring tombs. If the feedback they had been receiving from most players was "more combat please," then there would not have been less combat in each successive game after 2013. They got the balance right in this one. What combat there is in this game is fine and you can either blast your way through it or make it interesting by using the environment and your other tools besides guns and standard arrows.

Shadow does fall short in some areas though. First, it gives you way too many weapons and combat-based skills for the small amount of combat you find yourself in. The skill tree should have been more focused on things to help with traversal and exploring, which is what you spend almost all your time doing. Also, it made no sense to give Lara so many different outfits and tops/bottoms if she could only wear one specific outfit for a large portion of the game. The "squeezing through a small space" animation was overused, and the game takes away your control of Lara too often. Finally, some checkpoints were unreasonable, with some forcing you to kill enemies again to get back to the part of a puzzle you were trying to solve.

Ultimately, my gripes with this game are minor. I don't take seriously the opinions of people who think 2013 is the best in the trilogy; that game was a shooting gallery and the least Tomb-Raidery game I've ever played. I'll accept an argument that Rise is better because it's a tighter experience. I will not accept any argument that Shadow is the worst. If you think Shadow is the worst, then you don't appreciate what Tomb Raider even is. Shadow is as Tomb Raider as Tomb Raider gets and is a worthy climax to an excellent trilogy.

The latest in the Lara Croft saga, which, quite frankly, finds itself mired in the shadow of its own predecessors. One might say it's a game that tries to scale the heights of narrative sophistication but ends up tripping over the banana peel of predictability. The dialogues, my dear chap, are as bland as a cup of British tea left to steep for a fortnight, and the plot, oh, the plot, is about as thrilling as watching said tea cool.

The world, you see, is a veritable smorgasbord of uninteresting locales. One would expect the grandeur of ancient civilizations to be as captivating as the crown jewels, but alas, it's all rather "been there, done that" with a sprinkle of "not really sure why we're here" for good measure. The NPCs, bless their digital hearts, are as flat as a pancake on Shrove Tuesday, with personalities that could make a brick wall look dynamic.

And let us not forget the platforming. Ah, the platforming. It's as if the developers took a page from the "How to Make Players Pull Their Hair Out in Frustration" manual. Confusing segments abound, my dear, leaving one to ponder if it's a game of wit and skill or a masochistic exercise in trial and error. It's akin to navigating the London Underground with a map drawn by a toddler who's had one too many sugar cubes.

The side quests... They're as shallow as a puddle in the Sahara and as engaging as watching paint dry on a damp day in November. The collectibles scattered around the main hub are about as thrilling as finding loose change in the pocket of an old tweed jacket - utterly forgettable and seemingly there to just to pad the game's waistline.

And the game's length, or rather, the lack thereof. It's shorter than a summer holiday, leaving one feeling rather cheated. Like ordering a breakfast and getting served a slice of toast and a sad sausage.

Now, I must tip my hat to the graphics. They're smashing, really. The jungles are lush, and the ruins are as convincing as a politician's promise. But, pretty visuals cannot save a game that's as bland as a bowl of unsalted porridge.

Game that tries so desperately to be the crème de la crème of action-adventure gaming, but instead, it's more like the last piece of dry, stale cake at a garden party that everyone's too polite to eat. It's a game that could've been brilliant, but ended up being as memorable as a soggy biscuit. Stick to the classics, I say, and leave this shadow to lurk in the dark corners of the gaming library, forgotten like a forgotten umbrella on a rainy afternoon in London.

P.S. Jonah is not a virgin anymore :)

Incredible graphics considering the age of the game now. Good gameplay and story.

Rich story with lots of stuff to be explore throughout the game

Other than some sound syncing issues and weird hair and rope artifacting, it's a great game all around. Plenty to do and the story is good.

The Main Storyline is really fun to play, this game also has alot of side quests that's just as fun as the main storyline.

It has many bugs towards the end of the game but still better than most games in 2024

When you launch the game it forces you to accept a predatory privacy notice that collects the following data about you:

They don't even give you the option to decline and exit the game, you have to ctrl+alt+del out of it. Pathetic.

Awesome game with pretty good optimization, also playable on Mac with satisfying results.. I didn't encounter any issues with it and enjoyed it.

pretty good. sad to see this is where the series died. cool location even if the story is a bit meh.

Overall, a pretty enjoyable game, allthough the story perhaps did not grip you as much as the first and seccond game of the trilogy.

It's Tomb Raider. You raid tombs, kill baddies. There's a lot of tombs to raid, especially if you're using the DLC. It's a solid entry in the best iteration of a solid series.

very good adventure game, i like it better on pc and it is also very nice that it is available for mac

Lame story. Not much variety in the maps. Rushed through first area hoping to see something new and interesting then the game was over. Stop after RotTR this one stinks.

Forced walking simulator for seemingly half the game. Started just skipping cutscenes because they are so long and boring and I cared about no one. Every five minutes Jonah calls and I wanted to throw the controller across the room because she starts walking and can't interact with anything while they just chit chat about nothing.

Every death was the result of the jump mechanic not connecting.

Upgrades, crafting and skill trees are pointless. Can clear the game without doing anything. Most of the game forces you to wear the same silly costume anyway.

I thought I'm buying a game. Turns out I bought "interactive movie". Way too many unskipable cutscenes, way too many slow pased segments, way too dumb script. Technical side and visuals are great though. Long story short, people who actually created game are high quality professionals, but writers and director should reconsider life choices.

this game is beautiful, and im not even 20% through the story. the graphics are clean and the story is well written. a few bugs here and there, like the grapple randomly floating away from the rocks... or lara getting stuck on a branch and not being able to move.

but aside from those, i recommend this game.

This was a really fun game for a casual gamer on Easy. I killed Lara Croft dozens of time, but eventually got all the timings, keystrokes, and clicks right to get to a very cinematic boss battle at the end. The goriest death: piranhas. Yikes, what a way to go.
My only quibble is that the Mac version is extremely unstable. Simple solution: just don't play it on a Mac. Other than that, it was well worth the discounted price here on Steam; wait for that deal, and you'll score a great value.

A darker, immersive journey into Lara’s evolution. Stunning visuals, intricate puzzles, and challenging combat deliver a gripping finale.

It's the third game in the Tomb Raider re-boot series; at this point, if you have enjoyed the previous two games, you'll enjoy this as you are getting more of the same. If you are not a fan of the way the reboot games play, nothing in this title will change your mind.

Runs great on M-Series Macs, however there is no cross-save between Mac and PC.

Great gameplay & story. Graphics are good and difficult category is pretty hard.

A massive disappointment for me. The story isn't very good, and the open world theme doesn't suit the whole story

Awesome game, great optimization. I didn't encounter any issues with it. Enjoyed every minute of it. There is an interesting pattern if we would look back to previous modern Tomb Raider games - with each game the series has less and less multiplayer features (which is great).

I had a lot of fun playing this game. I got over 100 fps almost the whole game while having most settings on ultra. There wasn't a HUGE amount of gunfights but it was enough. There was a lot of puzzles, tombs, and challenges. I didn't expect to enjoy this game as much as I did after reading the reviews but I had a good time. There's was a few times when the climbing got on my nerves but other than that it was very fun. The guns were fantastic in this game. I'm looking forward to the next Tomb Raider.
