The first post-reboot to actually feel like "Tomb Raider".
"Shadow of the Tomb Raider" adds nothing to the franchise but is a fun adventure with the heart in the right place. Among the post-Core Design titles, it might be the only one that felt like a classic "Tomb Raider". The gameplay is the exact same as "Rise of the Tomb Raider", but the developers finally realized that they had to focus more on exploration and puzzles rather than gunfights.
The locations have always played a significant role in making a Tomb Raider intriguing and enjoyable, and the Mayan/Aztec setting is exactly what we needed. It's clear that a lot of time and careful research was put into creating the scenarios. I also appreciated how the collectibles are integrating the plot with actual historical facts and mythology trivia.
The only problem is again the writing and direction of the narrative sequences, still ages behind competitors like the "Uncharted" or even "God of War".

This game sucks. The environments are way too samey so it isn't fun to explore like Rise was. And the story is fucking horrible and obnoxious as hell. By far the worst of the 2013 trilogy.
