From TheGamer: "Crystal Dynamics’ Tomb Raider reboot trilogy never seems to get a fair shake. Its place in the general series’ perception likely wasn’t helped by the fact it ended on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which is not only the weakest of the trio but one of the worst Tomb Raider titles full stop. It’s not awful, but Tomb Raider games have been consistently high quality, and Shadow dips below that bar far too often. While Rise of the Tomb Raider had shown the new formula at its best, Shadow came along and showed it at its worst."
No, the first was a great start, but each iteration was a half step at best, not to mention some dodgey writing at times. Also the fact that literally all 3 were touted as "become the tomb raider" yet by the end of the trilogy that never happened. The tease yet complete disregard for the classic lara and trying to replace her iconic pistols with a pickaxe and bow (which seriously made little sense after the first game) was as insulting to fans as the DMC reboot.
Honestly i would like it best if the ip were given to a completely different team and we just acted like this trilogy never happened.
Nooooo ! Bring back classic Lara feel and gameplay.
I think Shadow of the Tomb Raider would have been the best game in the series had it featured more combat situations. The Tomb Raider reboot trilogy’s biggest flaw is its story telling. The story across all three games is clunky.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider was a great game. I loved it. Its was one of the best Tomb Raider games. It was better than Tomb Raider 3 and 4 from the past
Rise was awesome. Shadow not so much. Had to struggle to complete Shadow and finish the prequels trilogy
