Shadow of the Tomb Raider offers up a powerful finale to Lara Croft's origin trilogy.
Despite some narrative flaws, Shadow of the Tomb Raider still delivers a thrilling adventure starring one of the most unique and interesting takes on Lara Croft yet.
Slick and overly downbeat, Lara's latest sees the reboot trilogy end just as it began.
A greater focus on raiding tombs, and massively improved stealth combat, make this one of Lara Croft's best modern adventures.
The final and strongest entry in the rebooted trilogy, this adventure sticks to Lara's strengths while embracing its dark side.
It delivers bombastic action alongside an engaging collecting and crafting loop. Sadly, the same can't be said for Lara Croft and the overall narrative
Raiding ancient tombs and exploring dense environments is still outstanding in Lara's latest, but the mechanics of the reboot series are getting as rough and unpredictable as the terrain.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider's prioritization of exploration and stealth coupled with a more reflective plot ends Lara's origin story on a more human note, which is strengthened by the remarkable presentation.
