There are a few puzzles to solve, but they are far more introductory than challenging. You will be diving, swimming, climbing, and jumping your way through this initial area. Lara is introduced to you by the ways of old.

You begin your endeavor combating Trinity (the bad guys) in Mexico, where the вЂњquest for the sacred knifeвЂќ (See how well IвЂ™m avoiding spoilers?) is well underway. Our lovely hero was also a low-poly, mostly triangular female protagonist who absolutely loved short shorts. In the very first installment of Tomb Raider in 1996, it was far more puzzles and platforms than story or conflict. To no surprise, you play as Lara Croft, the tomb-diving, wall-climbing, gun-slinging, and tight-pants-sporting adventurer. Have no fear of spoilers - none will be shared. This review will focus on the merits of this entry as a standalone title, instead of comparing it to previous entries in the series. Just donвЂ™t be surprised if you encounter some frame-rate stutters, slight audio-visual desyncs, or the occasional bad texture rendering. Shadow of the Tomb Raider shows what AAA games should be about. Eerie, challenging, thoughtful, compelling, and downright fun. This place doesnвЂ™t belong to you the ancient beings that reside here want to send you to the depths that swallow the shallow walking paths and rock faces that you will climb. After breathing a sigh of relief that you have finally made it past the most epic of death-defying leaps and swings, you realize that you are not alone in this tomb.
