Yet another masterpiece by square Enix. After playing TR 2013 and rise, I got a feeling that the franchise is getting well developed one after another. Here is what I feel about this game:

Improvements <\/b>:
1. SOTTR is definitely among one of the first games that take the full advantage of Direct X 12 and real time ray tracing technology. Playing on 1440p monitor with RTX 2070, which enables a high ray traced shadow preset and ultra graphics setting, there is no way to not appreciate the level of visual details. Zoom in in the photographer mode, and you will find out how detailed the texture and model is.

2. The water quality, both surface reflection and underwater effects, are absolutely amazing. I was blown away the first time I see that in game. It sometimes makes me wonder why there are so many underwater portions in the game. Figured that they need to showoff how good it is.

3. Enough for the graphics, let's talk about the combat system: F1 F2 F3 F4 button are mapped with herbs like Witcher potions. Simple but effective. They were not in the previous gens, which is quite innovative. The traps and the venom arrows are real fun here. Screw the enemy pretty bad. I literally lol when I see enemies shooting at their friends, dang.

4.Nice to have all the previous gens outfits. You even got TR 13 Lara, even the... pixel one for... hardcore players.

5. The merchandise system is now well developed, which means you can control your resources more efficiently.

Downside:<\/b>

1. The game need a better optimization!!! DX11 is basically unplayable while DX12 push CPU way to hard in the city area. Games with more NPCs like Assassin Creed have a lot better optimization. The game is rendering way too many stuffs. The GPU load is quite high even in the letter examination screen

2. I wish there could be a mini map. Navigating in major cities is really boring and painful. I had to check map once every 30 sec and rush the collectibles and side quests just to get out of the town.

3. Why NPCs looks all the same? And they doesn't look alive. I literally just picked a side quest form a guy and saw a merchant with the same face somewhere else... Story breaking...

4. Multiple NPCs yelling something in Paititi over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!
Merchant don't have to repeat the same thing every time I have a good sold, because I have to hear them 20 times when I need to sell all my crap.

5. I don't have anything else about downside other than me firing 80+ bullets with an assault rifle trying to hunt an Empress Jaguar. I feel its pain alright.

Thanks for reading my review. I know they are trying to make a open world game, but number of NPCs doesn't make much difference. It's all about quality. If Square Enix is seeing this, thank you for bring a such beautiful game to us, and you got my cheers and advice!
. Very immersive experience, really brings you into the story. Good game mechanics. If you like story-based games you would enjoy this game.. its by far the worst of the 3 games. I really liked the previous two games but didn't care much for this one. It feels a lot shorter than the last two parts and kinda lacking in the content department.
The story is meh, the gameplay is more of the same except just less of it. Feel a lot like a DLC in some ways. It might be worth it if you are a completionist type who enjoys collecting everything on the map, which I am not.
It's one of those middle of the road games that that I'd recommend IF you liked the previous games AND the game is on sale.. -Main story is almost like a Tier C action movie, the setup is just dull.
-The voice acting(mostly side characters) feels lifeless most of the time
-Shooting a gun feels AWFUL
-Whole climbing thing is unresponsive(acceptable back in TR 2015)
-Side activity is barely acceptable,

Everything is so forgetful. I suggest wait for huge sales (50% or more). I was a lil dissapointed in the rise of tomb raider but tbh this game improved alot more than ppl think like the experience and world of the game was so much more diversed and graphics were so on point it was such a serreal experience for me than the games before and the combat style felt alot better for some reason tho i wish they added something like the baba yaga DLC cus i rly rly enjoyed the DLC more than anything in the first and second games of tomb raider ,and i felt like we finally met lara on more of a personal and emotional level it rly did hit me especially in that break down scene she had .

but also the storyline is kinda repetitive which i get why ppl found it a lil boring ? tho thats lara's life thats what she does so they cant change the plot wholesome tho as i said before they added a better emotional experience and more sneak into her past life and lara was acting more of a human being rather than this basic tough dull video games characters we mostly see and i guess there was some tiny lil glitches if you wanna call it that but nothing big i had no problem playing the game easily on a hard mode its so easy to move past those and getting used to the controls more, well also the tombs were a lil easier than the ones before especially that i had no hints solving them they warent that brilliant or a gud upgrade than the series before.

ok i will shut up now bye <3. I was a fan of Rise of the Tomb Raider. The previous installment was fun and entertaining. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is none of those. It's boring as hell, the atmosphere feels bland and generic, the story sucks donkey balls, and there are barely any enemies in the game. What is the point of giving us guns, if there is nothing to shoot?! Somehow, this game manages to do less than the previous titles, despite it being a sequel. I honestly regret buying this game, even at a discounted price.

For anyone interested in this title, I would recommend the previous installment, Rise of the Tomb Raider, over this. This game isn't even worth playing in my honest opinion.. Was already an underwhelming experience but I figured I'd pick this back up and try and play it only to find out a patch late last year totally ****ed up the controls. Searched high and low online but none of the recommended fixes work. So now using a PS4 controller is frustrating to the point I just uninstalled the game. The circle button is select instead of X. In game the X button simultaneously opens the map and makes Laura jump. I went in under the steam controller options in the Steam library but no matter what configuration I select it's still messed up. I thought the point of a patch was to actually patch up flaws not create new ones.. game doesn't load properly. sound, no picture. black screen. The worst part in my opinion. I went through the previous few times. I don\u2019t want to play this part again, I finished it with great difficulty. It is not that difficult, it just is not interesting. Everything is too monotonous from part to part. I do not recommend buying at all. Look better at the older parts.
