    It's OK, I guess 0

    Unsurprising, that is about the best I can say for this game.Lara Croft is once again on the trail of adventure. Trinity is still at large and trying to take over the world, again. This adventure takes Lara to South America to meet up with old and new friends and foes alike.This is the third game in this reboot of the the series and unfortunately the story is just as mailed in as the first two. The setting may have changed but it is more of the same half-hearted and short-sheeted emotional miss...

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review 0

    As a big fan of Crystal Dynamics’ reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise, I couldn’t help but be disappointed with Eidos Montreal’s stab at the series with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I really like the emphasis on puzzle solving and role playing elements like crafting outfits and completing side quests, but it feels like less refined version of its two predecessors. The combat relies a little too heavily on sneaking around environments and stealth-killing enemies—I hardly foc...

    Sha-DOH of the Tomb Raider 0

    Finally wrapping this series up. This game feels like a step backwards, with too much focus on big glamourous stuff and new systems and not enough on simply structuring the gameplay experience to be fun and interesting. Take note that this is one of the most expensive games ever made, costing $100M to produce.Systems are added to the Rise formula that don't enhance the game meaningfully. That's fine, games always do that. The bigger issue is the pacing. The game is just not storyboarded correctl...

    The focus in Shadow of the Tomb Raider is primarily on exploration and infrequently on combat 1

    The focus in Shadow of the Tomb Raider is primarily on exploration and infrequently on combat unlike Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider, and is now stealth-based more or less. The rainforest environments akin to those in Core Design's Tomb Raider III (1998) are lush and even hark back to the lost Inca civilizations featured in the original Tomb Raider (1996). These throwbacks to the classics are cleverly implemented and fans of the franchise will surely take notice. However, Eidos Mo...

    Bow before the dual wield 0

    No Inspiration NecessaryThe failings of this game are purely in their failure to recognize the nostalgia factor for games. I'm slowly starting to realize that in the hiring process of talent for a lot of games has little to do with experience playing anything in the series. We love to celebrate the pedigree of certain studios when we don't know what the actually staffing looks like throughout the years. The Zenimax purchase might be in name alone, with only the janitor from the formative years b...
