Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

Crystal Dynamics began its rebooted series with a mediocre Tomb Raider. The game is stupid. Yes, I thought it was stupid the first time I played it and I still think it's stupid now, a decade since the release. Then Rise of the Tomb Raider was released and finally I saw a very good Tomb Raider game. Less handholding, better level design, more interesting environments and it was also quite lengthy. However, Crystal Dynamics' effort reached its peak with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, with the last game of the Survivor trilogy. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is truly an unique game. It shows Lara making mistakes but by not doing any stupid things like before. Here it's much more believable. The game's level design is fantastic, with big hubs and nice dungeons. This game also shines when it comes to immersion as it can be as immersive as you want it to be. Almost no handholding, everything is up to you how who you deal with challenges which you can find in both - jumping sections and puzzle sections. However I am not talking about the base version here, the best puzzles and parts came with later updates adding new challenges and interesting side missions. And this version is here to grab on GOG. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is one of the best game in the series. Period.

If you liked the new versions of Tomb Raider you will like this one as well - bigger and better. Continuation of Lara's journey.

Nothing but good things about this game. One of my favorites.

Played this on steam a couple of years ago, and I enjoyed it the most out of the Survivor Trilogy (well, it's a tie between this and the 2013 one). I love the stealth gameplay, and the puzzles are actually quite engaging. As engaging as the 1-6 Remasters? No. But they're great in their own right. I'd recommend playing on the second to hardest, and the hardest difficulty. It really makes you feel like you're a Guerilla fighting badass archeologist hellbent on getting her way. The story is okay, but it has some great set pieces, and I doubt you're playing this for the story anyway. All in all, a very fun game...!

Apparently you fixed the small anomaly regarding the availability in French, thank you. Therefore it's 5 stars and thanks to gog for making this game available :-). Good job!
