Shadow of the Tomb Raider is above all this: the result of a constant refinement work aimed at filing the edges of an immutable and static core if it is true that the basic offer of the title has not changed one iota, it must be noted that all the elements of the gameplay have now reached a more than satisfactory level.
but what really amazed us is the way in which the software houses have been able to improve one release after another. In a duo run, Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics lived up to Lara’s legacy, celebrating modern femininity and stitching the experience around the core of dynamic open-map adventure, managing to dodge the perilous pitfall of the open world. That of the Square-Enix production was an ambitious goal that passed through a great characterization challenge and that, above all, needed a current and captivating structure, a gameplay in step with the times and an offer aligned with generational standards. But if, despite this statement, you are catching a bitter note in our words, you have hit the mark.įive years have passed since the reboot capable of redesigning the most famous heroine in the history of video games, sweeping away the maturity and coldness to make room for humanity and the theme of the training journey. We tell you right away: Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the best chapter in the tomb hunter rebirth cycle, and probably the whole saga.
The conclusion of the modern trilogy dedicated to Lara Croft goes beyond these archetypes and takes a decidedly more complicated path, a path made of lights and shadows, of ups and downs, of great contradictions and unexpected harmonies. Sometimes we editors are faced with titles whose evaluation becomes similar to the result of an equation, either because the quality level is indisputable, or because undeniable deficiencies impact the gaming experience.
