4,5/5

HardcoreGamer Sep 10, 2018

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. Not every decision Eidos Montreal has made will sit well with long-time fans, as the meaty hubs, vast number of collectibles and smaller amount of enemy encounters set a slower pace than either...

7,5/10
