Shadow of the Tomb raider is a classical action adventure game with top quality Hollywood style plot. The game plays well and the progression is well-balanced mix of shooting or stealth sections, puzzles and platforming, talking with NPC's and quick time event style running action sequences. Most of these are well implented, and allow different play styles with good difficulty level. The most annoying I find are the quick-time eventish running scene where you are basically always running from something and have to react to falling things and stuff, they aren't real QTEs so there's no button prompts but you still have to memorise what do on each step and it's usually not obvious at all so it just becomes annoying. The camera is sometimes quite bad and especially swimming is torture. Other than that there is no big problems in the game. The music is top notch and the voice acting is passable. I kind of like using native languages for npc's but calling it immersive is quite absurd, that's not quite how it works in real world.

A pretty spectacular adventure the whole way through. Does a great job improving the reasons people continue to come back to this franchise. Everything down to the materials you pick up feels very thought out making this easily the best in the series.

one of the better "suomise peli" games, but maybe Rise was a bit better in my opinion.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a solid end to Lara's origin story. The jungle setting is gorgeous, the puzzles are challenging, and the combat is brutal and satisfying. The story, though a bit predictable, still packs an emotional punch. Some underwater sections are straight-up terrifying, and the stealth can feel clunky at times. But if you love action-adventure games with tons of exploration, Shadow of the Tomb Raider will definitely scratch that itch.
