Square Enix Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PS4)

Game is superb but sometime it's getting hanged in some places.. graphics are showing poor during replay some times..need to improve

A little slow story based game puzzle are a little less than the previous oneBut it's a pretty good game

This is amazing conclusion of new Tomb Raider trilogy.First the media:Game was well packed and bluray box was sealed with plastic (as expected). Everything works nice on my PS4 so no issues. This game is definitely worth the price.Coming to Gameplay:I have been a fan of this series since Tomb Raider 7 : The Legend. The gameplay back then was like an action adventure movie. Over the course of time they trim down the action part and focused on adventure. This part brings back action filled adventure of the old games.The new series takes player to exotic location. The peruvian jungles of this games are the best of the trilogy. The location, detail, light, shadows, water effects are just perfect. Unlike previous game graphics of this game are alive and vivid. It is really a feast for eyes.Another element that I liked is comeback of classic Lara Croft avatar which is playable throughout the game. those who like the old character design or those who simply want to stroke nostalgia can also rejoice.Gameplay mechanics are same as last game but there are some elements taken from other games such as Uncharted franchise and even stealthy Splinter Cell games.Overall Shadow of the Tomb Raider is one of the best action adventure game out there. A must have in your collection.

It's going to be a long review. So I'll add the TLDR version first :Story - 1/5Characters - 1/5Gameplay - 3/5Graphics - 3/5The reboot trilogy that started out in 2013 shewed a lot of promise. However, since the 2nd game onwards, Lara Croft became more and more despicable and narcissistic. It's absolutely ridiculous about her motivation to continue on to raid tombs; because they killed her father.The story revolves around her preventing a cult to gain power to rule the world using some artifacts. So she must stop them by retreiving the artifacts from intricately design tombs full of death traps and abyss, destroying half of the tomb in the process, surviving a firefight and killing around 20 armed men. And finally she gets hit on the head in a cutscene and gives away the artifact. In the process of removing the artifact, she triggers an apocalypse (which will be totally forgotten by the end of the game).Character development is bad. One can hardly sympathize with her sulky attitude and egocentric behaviour of "I am the only one who can save this world". The side character Jonah was also poorly written. The main villain was straight bad guy as he killed Lara's father. The entire storyline was similar to some Netflix teenage drama wrapped into a Tomb Raider game.Coming to gameplay, it's pretty much the same as the first game. Full of high octane pre determined action set pieces, mowing down a small militia. Only addition was the stealth sections. Still, it was fun if you set the difficulty up to 2nd last.Graphics however is amazing in this one. The tombs are more beautiful and creepy. However, no ray tracing available on PS4 version.So should one buy this game? My recommendation is to either go for the first or start with this. There is no reason to play all three.

If this is the first "Tomb Raider" game you're playing or if you're a fanboy/girl it's a very great game, otherwise it's very repetitive. The gameplay is similar to the older games in the series.

This is one time play game. Don't expect too much from the game. Locations are good in the game. But gameplay is not that much interesting. Story is bit confusing.Ok ok game. Play uncharted if you haven't played.

At first when I opened the package, I thought it's used. There were lot of scratch marks on the game cover, it felt as if the product was used. Though when I saw the actual Disc, it didn't have a single scratch, which shows that it was new. Don't think the game disc might have been forged else I wouldn't have been able to play the game on my PS4.

Lara Croft goes to South America to get this ancient relic only to find out it if combined with another relic will start the Mayan apocalypse. Trinity is after these relics for world domination. The game follows Mayan and Aztec mythologies.Received the steel-book upgrade as promised! I love the cover - love the steel-book - love the graphics -Skill upgrade has a more simplified layout and easy to navigate throughJonah is not the familiar person anymore and I don’t like the new look-Gameplay reminds a lot of Uncharted 4 and lost legacycontrols kind of get cranky at times when underwaterYou can play 1080p 60fps, or 4K 30fps on the PS4 Pro or Xbox One XIf you are a person who has patience and can dodge all the spoilers on the internet then waiting will benefit a lot in terms of product costs and square enix has a history of huge price drops in a matter of months .
