Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review -- CLS Side Quest

For Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics -- responsible for all things Lara Croft for more than a decade -- handed off development to sister studio Eidos Montreal. The end result is something largely indistinguishable from Crystal’s work, particularly in the form of 2013’s Tomb Raider and 2015’s Rise of the Tomb Raider. While there’s a lot of fun to be had, Shadow of the Tomb Raider likewise features a series of blemishes (including the very nature of the series’ famous protagonist herself) that diminish the overall experience ever-so-slightly. But if you’re looking for adventure, puzzle-solving, and just a little bit of combat, well, Shadow of the Tomb Raider may be right up your alley. This video review is based upon a copy of Shadow of the Tomb Raider provided to CLS before its release date and free of charge. All footage was captured by CLS on a PS4 Pro running the game in Performance Mode. Footage is 1080p30.

Looking forward to watching your review as I'm a big tomb raider fan. Reviews seem to be pretty mixed so far though, ranging in scores from 6-9 from what I've seen so far.

I don't remember Rise of the Tomb Raider too well, even though I did finish it. I might have to find a recap before jumping into this one.

Kyle

Working now. But this was within the Patreon app on my iPhone.

Good review, Colin. You got me a little worried about load times, as I am a completionist/trophy hunter and will be using the fast travel often.

Great review as always man

Kevin Sullivan

I really enjoyed the first two. I’m so behind on games that I won’t get to this probably until next year.

John Lynch

Excellent review Colin. Regardless of any issues, ROTR was one of my favorite games this gen, I’ll be playing this as soon as I platinum spider-man

Will Hahn

Such a great review! I came late to both of the last tomb raider games, and I’ll probably wait to play this one too. That being said, I have thoroughly enjoyed the rebooted franchise. I tend to naturally compare the games to the Uncharted franchise, though. Lol.

Thank you for the call out and delay before spoiling Uncharted 4. I fucking jumped up off the couch while I was dozing off to change it.
