Shadow of the Tomb Raider reviews are about to drop and we can already give a look at the first score the game has been awarded by IGN Germany, which has erroneously let slip its article before the embargo lifted off.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider reviews are about to drop and we can already give a look at the first score the game has been awarded by IGN Germany, which has erroneously let slip its article before the embargo lifted off.
It’s a good score we must say, as it was a 8,9/10. All considered, with Shadow not being developed by the series main studio Crystal Dynamics and being the last chapter in a trilogy, it’s rather high, instead.
Let’s give a look at the final verdict as translated and reported by ResetEra users.
“Instead of daring to experiment in the final reboot trilogy, Eidos Montréal focuses on the new Lara’s strengths to finish the story. This decision pays off. Shadow of the Tomb Raider outperforms its predecessor in every respect and adds another dimension: more content, more tombs, more puzzles, more story and fewer shooting.
Even the secondary characters are more likeable this time, and more than just a means to advance the plot of the game. Only the attached dialogue system bothers me a bit. Here, Eidos Montréal has missed the opportunity to give me as a player the opportunity to form “my personal” Lara in the talks.
In the end, however, the game rewards me with an action-packed finale, and all that remains to be said is: Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the playful and narrative highlight of the reboot trilogy – and rightly so.”
Sounds great. Reviews are coming today while Shadow of the Tomb Raider itself releases Friday, Sept. 14 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Then we’ll see what happens in the future of Lara Croft after that.
