Shadow does suffer from a very mediocre story and writing, to put it lightly, but then storytelling has almost never been the strong suit or focus of the franchise.īTW, if you enjoy the swimming sections in AOD, you are gonna like the underwater explorations in Shadow, the game definitely has no shortage of that. Go back to the gate than trebuchet begins shoot again, and then go back to trebuchet. In the mission The Lost City, you get an objective called Take control of the trebuchet. The laughable 'jumping to the elevated platform to find the treasure chest' kind of tombs that can be done in 2 min in 2013 are no longer present, even the 'crypts' (not the actual optional tombs) in Shadow are more complex. I ran into a stupid bug in Legend of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One. Then tombs and ruins have become a lot larger in scale, even finding the entrance to some of them require a bit of exploration, then there are the puzzles that have gotten more complex and harder to solve. But I'd encourage to give it a try, it's quite different from 2013/Rise in many aspects.Ĭombat sessions, for example, have been drastically reduced, like you no longer have to fight gangs of mercenaries every time you enter a new area. Legend: Been a long time since I played it but the first level in Bolivia somehow stood out for me, can't remember it why, not my favorite game of the franchise.ĪOD: Difficult to like any levels in the game, can hardly be called a TR game.Ģ013 and Rise are vastly different from the old TR games, understandable that you have no desire to play Shadow. Francis Folly because it has probably the best and most unique puzzle and trap designs, like the traps in Damocles' room. Underworld: Thailand wins easily, beautiful outdoor areas, huge ruins and lots of explorations, also the music plays in the background is so good, it's soothing, relaxing and some of the best of the whole TR franchise.Īnniversary: St. Rise: Kitezh: you spent the entire time to find the fabled lost city, the visuals are amazing and the ascension to the top is one of the best moments in the game.Ģ013: hard to pick out a favorite here, the monastery part was a bit revelation there that I particularly liked. Shadow: Cenote: extremely beautiful scenery outside and dark interiors, long underwater navigation, unique enemies to fight and a very cool optional tomb that took me quite a while to figure it out.
