"A decent-ish finisher to an above average adventure series"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great gameplay, fun puzzles and quests as well as an engaging, albeit fairly basic main narrative that keeps you entertained long enough not to ask too many questions of the plot holes. The narrative does seem to borrow quite heavily from other games within the action adventure genre, one obvious one being the uncharted series, and it doesn't go into too much depth in regards to Lara's past, which was a bit disappointing as the previous game dove into that and set up the player for some possible interactions to her past with “Shadow”. It is not as good as the second game in the new tomb raider trilogy, but it suffices to bring some really great experiences to the table.

"Another great addition to the Tomb Raider series"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Once again, a thoroughly enjoyable thematic experience that makes you feel part of the narrative. Excellent graphics and movement mechanics. The addition of climbing boot crampons made for a cool experience climbing near horizontal cliff faces. I actually liked the fact that there wasn't any hidden treasures strewn all over the place as it allowed the story a (basically) uninterrupted flow. Well worth purchasing for fans of Uncharted and Tomb Raider.

"Good Game, Atrocious Input Lag."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a good game with a good story. But the game is so damn hard to play on PS4 due to the absolutely atrocious level of input lag the game suffers from. It's a shame because Rise of the Tomb Raider suffered from the same issue on PS4 at launch but was patched about a month later. In saying that it's still fun to play but it's just very frustrating to aim, let alone land headshots due to the amount of delay from your input to the reaction on screen.

If input lag doesn't bother you then I would say go for it if you love Tomb Raider, otherwise if you have a PC I would probably buy that version instead.

"Not good enough"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Didn't feel like a step up from the last tombraider, had no wowing effect like the previous 2. The graphics seemed hazy on a normal ps4.
