All I can say is WOW.

After the mediocrity of the second trilogy the third installment in the third trilogy really fleshes out what Tomb Raider is really about.

Pros:
-Lots of history and relics to discover and learn about
-Tons of tomb crawling that makes tomb raider tomb raider
-Side missions and challenges to keep you occupied past the main quest
-Lots of customization and weapon options
-Difficult fighting and a variety of enemies
-Beautiful rendering and visuals

Cons:
-Very resource intensive on less powerful machines
-Combat in cover aim is slightly janky
-Map is non-descriptive in some locations

Overall this game is the most beautiful and historical installment in the series. It delivers with amazing scenery and architecture as well as interesting history. Shadow of the Tomb Raider delivers a refreshing historical impact that older games were lacking while keeping the action up and running. I hope Eidos decides to make another trilogy! I can't get enough of this game!

9.5/10
