If you liked the previous games in this trilogy, you'll get the same enjoyment out of this one. That is both my greatest compliment and my largest gripe. Shadow was touted as "Lara's definitive moment" and the finale of this reboot; yet so much of it, both gameplay and narrative, resembles a middle-point adventure like Rise did. Sure, I loved the additions to platforming and how the combat was downplayed this time around so the encounters felt more special, however, nothing besides the change to the setting and culture (which are portrayed with staggering amounts of authenticity) convinced me I wasn't playing the same good game for the third time in a row. All three of these entries are solid AAA experiences but I'm glad the folks at Square Enix will be moving on with this franchise; hopefully for the better.
