comment
Shop Fodder: Gold and jade ore serve no purpose besides being sold to merchants for cash. Most crafting resources are also common enough that it makes sense to unload them periodically as well, since Lara will probably have more than she can use at any one time. Ingredients for specialty ammunition can be gathered from the beginning of the game, even though the skills needed to make them aren't available until much later. Prior to unlocking them, these ingredients are only good for being sold.

Heroic BSoD: Lara goes through one after she embarks on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge for the supposedly-dead Jonah, killing dozens of people and blowing up an entire oil refinery in the process. Jonah snaps her out of it pretty quick, but it's still painful to see a normally fearless Determinator like her reduced to a sobbing mess. After witnessing Cozumel get swamped by a tsunami, Lara simply loses it, screaming at Jonah that they have to leave now to prevent other disasters from happening. The knowledge that she caused it by taking the dagger plays a large role in it.

Darker and Edgier: It's Mayan, there are human sacrifices, and Lara unwittingly triggering a series of natural disasters directly results in countless deaths that weigh heavily on her conscience. Her arsenal of murder has also expanded and now includes the most brutal melee kill animations in the rebooted series.

Gratuitous Spanish
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_16178c64
comment
Gratuitous Spanish: The "Como Te Llama" achievement (earned for petting five llamas) is intended to be a pun mixing the Spanish sentence for "what's your name?" with the word "llama", but the correct spelling is "cómo". "Como" without the accent is "how" (non-interrogative), "like", "about", or the first-person singular present indicative of "comer" ("to eat").note Interestingly, the pun "Cómo Te Llama" referring to an actual llama works in Spanish too, as English borrowed the word from Spanish

PowerUpLetDown
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_1859b3e2
comment
Power Up Let Down: The basic guns you get when you unlock a new weapon category are very well-balanced across the board, with great stats overall and no weaknesses whatsoever, and they only get better with every upgrade. The other weapons are expensive purchases from merchants, must be upgraded from scratch, and usually pay for better performance in one stat with significantly reduced performance in at least two others. The basic handgun is also one of only two models that can accept the very useful suppressor, with the other having much lower per-shot damage. The much-touted mastery skill trees available in New Game Plus runs aren't nearly as OP as the advertising often suggests. For starters, there's only three skills per "tree", compared to ~20 skills each in the base game. Their effects are nothing to write home about, either, with most being extremely situational or requiring some setup before they can be used, and even in the rare case you actually do get to use them, they won't help you that much anyway. Speaking of New Game Plus: while the Redding Bolt-Action rifle and the Viper Bite bow do have their uses, the Jaguar Knife not only doesn't have any combat value, it's actually worse than the base game knives because it lacks the final tier's special trait of harvesting more resources from slain animals. It's basically just a reskin of the knife's second tier that looks cool, but doesn't offer anything beyond that.

Artistic License – Biology
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Lara is attacked on several occasions by large packs of maned wolves. While the South American jungle is an appropriate environment to find a maned wolf, these animals are almost entirely solitary - even mates that share territory spend most of their time apart. And that's not even getting into the fact that here they are incredibly aggressive, when in real life they are quite shy and more likely to run from a human. Likewise, Lara is attacked by giant moray eels, who enclose her like an anaconda before they attack. Moray eels don't hunt like this; instead, they attack their prey directly with their razor-sharp teeth. Jonah suffers from a parasitic worm infection below his skin, mere hours after having crashed into the rainforest. In reality, these infections have incubation periods of weeks to months before they show visible symptoms below the skin.

Primal Fear: Due to the prevalence of caves and water features, there are quite a few sequences that seem designed to invoke claustrophobia in the players, particularly when Lara has to go through very tight tunnels and keeps getting stuck. In some cases, she's trapped underwater, making it a race against time before you drown.

Bag of Spilling: Lara starts in Mexico with a full arsenal of weapons and gear, but when her plane crashes in the Peruvian jungle, Lara loses everything and has to regain her arsenal one piece at a time. She even laments not packing all of her gear together. On the other hand, this being a video game with RPG elements, she's also forgotten plenty of skills that she'd almost certainly picked up in the previous games without the in-universe justification for it.

Difficulty Levels: The game has a new mechanic for this: setting the difficulty levels for traversal, navigation, puzzles, and combat separately. So the player can pick and choose how easy or hard they want those individual aspects to be, rather than just using a single difficulty meter for the whole game.

Revolvers Are Just Better
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_2a195285
comment
Revolvers Are Just Better: Sadly, no. The one revolver in the game, the J&D Model 27, deals more damage than any other handgun, but its other stats are far and away the worst in this category even when fully upgraded. Its semi auto equivalent, the River Hawk (a barely disguised Desert Eagle), deals only slightly less damage with much better overall stats. To add insult to injury: the River Hawk can be unlocked for free by completing a simple early-game side quest, whereas the J&D is an expensive purchase from the Kuwaq Yaku trader.

The Dreaded
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_2ae29c0d
comment
Lara's always been frightening to her enemies, but this game sees her weaponizing it. She uses hallucinogens to turn enemies against each other, leaves enemies hanging from trees to frighten others, and prefers to stealthily pick off soldiers one by one. She's very much The Dreaded to Trinity at this point, after taking out so many of their cells, and she's more than happy to exploit it. There are few things more satisfying than to hear seasoned Trinity veterans almost crapping their pants upon being told that Lara Croft was last seen in their vicinity. Even the ones that sound more confident seem more than a bit nervous about the prospect and their odds of making it out alive.

comment
Paititi is a literal Mayincatec city. It was founded by Maya that left Mexico and settled in Peru to protect the Silver Box. They needed help from the local Inca to survive, since their farming and hunting techniques were unsuited for the rainforest. Trinity used Aztecs to infiltrate the city as the Cult of Kukulkan and take control.

Even the ones that sound more confident seem more than a bit nervous about the prospect and their odds of making it out alive. This is invoked during the No-Gear Level, when one of the Trinity soldiers hunting Lara (with no small amount of bitterness) suggests that she has, "all of Nature on her side" and could strike them from anywhere.

Stuff Blowing Up
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_31a2a33c
comment
Stuff Blowing Up: Severely downplayed, compared to the previous titles. Explosive arrows are no longer part of Lara's arsenal, least of all cluster grenade arrows. Even her under barrel grenade launcher was merely capable of shooting poison gas grenades until a later DLC tomb added a skill that unlocks explosive grenade crafting. The only regular lethal explosives she can use against enemies are the ones lying around on the battlefield, which mostly boils down to Explosive Barrels and the occasional gasoline canister repurposed into a firebomb. It all plays into the game's focus on stealth combat over massive shootouts.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug: Lara may occasionally refuse to move any further, like there was an invisible wall in the way. Usually fixes itself after several repeated attempts, but if it doesn't, reloading the last checkpoint is in order. Inventory space is slightly bugged, having only enough space to hold the items in the game and failing to account for any outfits or weapons from preorder or old save bonuses. This unfortunately means that various tedious achievements, Dr. Croftnote Complete all Artifact Collections and Completionistnote Reach 100% Completion are harder to acquire. If you have these bonuses and also try buying items such as extra weapons, outfits, or ammo/resource storage upgrades. Towards the end of the game, your inventory will be invisibly full and artifacts or documents will fail to register properly when you pick them up. It's possible to get around this by avoiding acquiring those upgrades, but you'll probably want all the help you can get. Additionally, sometimes Monoliths can glitch out where the Resource Caches never spawn in the locations they are supposed to, leaving you with all regions at 100%, but something like 99.5% completion overall. Thankfully, all of these issues were patched about a month after release. The Xbox One version (and possibly the others) has a tendency to load at inopportune times, causing everything onscreen to freeze while it tries to access the data. This can even occur during a QTE, which is a guaranteed failure.

Boring, but Practical
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: The basic models from each weapon category are also the most balanced, often even the most powerful overall. Fully upgrade them, and you're set for the rest of the game. Animals respawn almost every time you switch regions via fast-travel, some like eagles and condors give huge amounts of XP, and certain outfits increase the experience gain from hunting even further, making this a boring yet effective method of Level Grinding. As usual, opening resource containers and picking up collectibles gives a bit of XP. There are hundreds, if not thousands of them scattered across the world, so diligently exploring every nook and cranny can rack up a mountain of skill points without the dangers of combat. Also as usual, your starting handgun has great stats all around, packs a punch, is extremely accurate, is one of the few weapons that can be silenced, ammo is plentiful (relatively speaking), and Lara can carry enough of it to dominate any combat segment without too much trouble. If you're a half-decent shot, the AB .45 is the only gun you'll ever need as long as you aren't fighting Yaaxil.

Bittersweet Ending: Lara kills Dominguez, avenging her father's death, and stops the apocalypse. Trinity's High Council is also wiped out by the Yaaxil, effectively toppling the ancient order for good, and Paititi is in good hands with Etzli as its new king. But none of this changes the fact that Etzli's mother is dead, along with god knows how many innocent people as a direct result of the disasters Lara unleashed by taking the dagger. Which is something she'll likely have to live with for the rest of her life. Jonah also hits it off with Abigaile, and it's implied he stays in Kuwaq Yaku with her and that Lara never sees him again.

Actionized Sequel: Inverted. Combat is much less frequent than the previous entries, focusing more on exploration, platforming, and puzzles. Unless you own all the DLC tombs, which roughly doubles the amount of combat encounters you'll have to go through, and some ensuing shootouts there are massive.

Dropped a Bridge on Him: At one point during the final mission, you get told that Trinity's High Council has arrived at the scene. A couple of minutes of parkouring later, and you get told that they've all been killed. Considering that these people have arguably served as a Greater-Scope Villain for the entire trilogy, this off-handed treatment may come across as somewhat anticlimactic.

Paper-Thin Disguise
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_48b9731f
comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: Lara at some point receives a face-concealing Serpent Guard outfit to infiltrate the Cult of Kukulkan. While the outfit itself is genuine, her cover should be blown the moment she opens her mouth to talk to any of the cultists. She's not a native speaker, after all, and it's highly unlikely she learned to speak the local language without any accent in mere days. Even with most of the cultists being Trinity agents from outside Paititi, the guards should be able to tell the difference. Plus, she's still openly carrying all her very non-Incan equipment (climbing axes, walkie-talkie, flashlight, ammo pouches, thigh holster for her handgun, snap-hook on her knife), which should give her away at first glance. She's also the only white British woman in an exclusively male organization, and at least one head shorter than any of the real Serpent Guards. Funny enough, the clothes Unuratu gives her do very little to disguise her from the locals; basically everyone clocks her as an outsider almost immediately. Apparently, the cultists themselves are the only ones fooled.

Bragging Rights Reward: The New Game Plus-exclusive outfits aren't any more or less useful than the ones from the base game, so anyone running around and taking screenshots in them either does it because they like the looks or because they want to say "hey look, I beat the game!" The Magic Touch skill lets Lara craft more special ammo from fewer resources on the fly, which would be incredibly helpful if the challenge tomb that unlocks it weren't accessible in the post-game only, where there's not a lot of left to do with it. At least you can take it with you into a New Game Plus campaign.

 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_573e6dbd
comment
Crack is Cheaper: In-Universe, ammo and crafting resources can be purchased from merchants, but they're so insanely expensive that doing so is out of the question unless the situation is really dire. For reference: handgun ammo costs about 120 gold pieces per bullet, with human enemies dropping 50–100 coins and mined gold nuggets being worth 50 coins apiece. A later patch reduced ammo prices by half, but they're still far from affordable on a regular basis.

Bribing Your Way to Victory
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_5c17c12f
comment
Bribing Your Way to Victory: Purchasing the Gold or Croft Edition unlocked several unique weapons with stats on par with a fully upgraded basic model right off the bat. One of the bows (the Exiled Fox's Bow) may even qualify as the best bow in the game. The same goes for the outfits, all of which confer bonuses that come in very handy at various stages of the story. Half the game's challenge tombs are paid DLC. Every single one comes with additional weapons and outfits, the former of which includes the game's only suppressed assault rifle and the only suppressed shotgun. So, if you want to go silent with something beyond the basic pistol, you'll have to pay for it. Said shotgun is also the most powerful weapon of its class overall, with a maxed-out damage rating that can blow away virtually anything in one shot while retaining great range, accuracy, and ammo capacity.

Speaking of New Game Plus: while the Redding Bolt-Action rifle and the Viper Bite bow do have their uses, the Jaguar Knife not only doesn't have any combat value, it's actually worse than the base game knives because it lacks the final tier's special trait of harvesting more resources from slain animals. It's basically just a reskin of the knife's second tier that looks cool, but doesn't offer anything beyond that.

Armor Is Useless
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_638b65bc
comment
Armor Is Useless: Nope. Armored enemies invariably wear helmets, which means they're immune to stealthy insta-kill headshots, which in turn forces you to adopt completely different tactics if you want to avoid messy one-against-twenty shootouts. Needless to say, these enemies can also soak up significantly more body shots than their unarmored buddies, making them quite the headache compared to the low-ranking cannon fodder. Fortunately, their armor doesn't protect them from poison of any kind, so once you unlock fear arrows, poison grenades and co., these guys become much less of a hassle.

Guide Dang It!
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: There's a special merchant that sells gadgets like the lock pick or the rope ascender, both of which are required to access a lot of valuable treasures. This merchant unlocks during a lengthy side quest in Paititi, doesn't have an icon to locate her on the map, and she disappears once the quest is completed, only to pop up at semi-random places all across the huge game world. If you didn't purchase the two items mentioned above the first time you met her, good luck finding her again without a guide. A bunch of weapon attachments now only fit specific guns instead of the whole category, even if the description in the merchant menu says something like "for all rifles". This specific example for instance (the rifle suppressor) can only be mounted on the WASP 11 submachine gun, just like the pistol suppressor only fits two out of four available handguns (five, if you count pre-order DLC gear). The largest ammo pouches and item bags are unlocked through a skill that can be taken at virtually any time, but the merchant that actually sells these items only shows up on the penultimate map roughly 85% into the story. This isn't mentioned anywhere, so it's easy to sink a bunch of skill points into something that won't pay off for a very long time. The knife upgrades actually qualify as different selectable weapons for some reason. Normally, this isn't a problem, as upgrading the knife makes you automatically equip the upgrade. During the Playable Epilogue, the selection quietly shifts back to the basic knife, preventing you from opening Braided Rope barriers until you go into the inventory screen and change it, which you never needed to do before.

Teleporting Keycard Squad: Raising any kind of alarm among enemies during stealth segments instantly spawns an additional squad out of nowhere. The initial garrison doesn't even need to discover Lara. All it takes is the markers above their heads filling up completely in white, which makes them establish a search grid of the area. All it takes for that to happen is someone discovering a dead body, or any explosion going off. Needless to say, blowing Lara's cover just makes this a lot worse. Your one saving grace is that this only happens once per area. During the Final Battle, enemy reinforcements spawn just out of sight every time you do something important, like disabling any of the three altars, or triggering one of the cutscenes with Dominguez when he's stunned.

Swiss-Cheese Security: Although Paititi's prison complex is situated in a difficult-to-access location and does boast a guard garrison, the latter are few in numbers, especially around the entrance. Even someone without Lara's insane climbing skills could easily get in by overwhelming them in a frontal assault, if the prisoner they want to get out didn't already break down their dilapidated cell walls and escape on their own by that point.

So Much for Stealth: As powerful as murderizing mooks from stealth is, it's just as easy to get spotted and suddenly have bullets flying everywhere. It is possible to return to stealth mode by staying out of the enemies' sight for a short while, but that's easier said than done because most enemies are utterly relentless in their pursuit.

Cavalry of the Dead: They're not exactly undead (and it's unclear what they are, possibly merely strange humans with an unusual origin), but the Yaaxil serve this purpose in the finale, suddenly joining forces with Lara. Once they do, they defeat the remaining Trinity forces with relative ease.

Unfriendly Fire: The whole point of Fear Arrows - shoot one mook and Pass the Popcorn while you watch him kill any of his buddies that enter his line of sight. If you choose the target wisely, entire squads can be taken down this way in one shot, with the only downside being that you don't get XP for the indirect kills.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Downplayed. When Lara takes the Key of Chak Chel on the Mexican island of Cozumel, it triggers an apocalypse. A tsunami hits the island shortly after Trinity takes the dagger from her. While it can be argued that Lara is at fault for starting the end of the world, if she hadn't taken the dagger from the tomb, then Trinity would have likely gotten to it first.

For a Cutscene Indolence example: the very definitely final battle against Trinity involves the bad guys setting up a tripod-mounted M2 Browning machine gun in a cutscene when they spot Lara entering the room. Lara just stands there and watches until the gunner starts throwing tons of lead her way, forcing her to sprint from cover to cover to escape the withering firepower.

Old Save Bonus: Carrying over save files from the two previous games in the Prequel trilogy unlocks several outfits for usage in Shadow, including outfits like the Remnant Jacket from Rise, the various Henleys Lara wore in the 2013 game and the Wraithskin outfit from the Baba Yaga DLC for the sequel. Notably, none of these outfits confer any sort of additional ability or bonus, as opposed to their prior incarnation, making them more of a Virtual Paper Doll option for players.

One-Hit Polykill: The Silver Strike bow isn't all that impressive in terms of overall stats, but its fully charged arrows can punch through body armor or, alternatively, multiple unarmored squishies in a row. YMMV on how useful the latter is in practice, considering that body shots with this weapon are too weak to kill in one hit, so the same Trinity mooks have to line up at least twice for you to actually score a poly-kill with one arrow.

Ominous Fog
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_93deab19
comment
Ominous Fog: After a thunderstorm causes Lara’s plane to split in half and her seat to crash-land in Peru, we get a shot of the jungle, which is shown to be covered in a thick fog. This hammers in the fact that she’s now stranded in an unfamiliar and dangerous location and must survive. However, the fog lifts once Lara reaches higher ground and sees a flare, and from this point on, most of the game is bright and sunny locations. Areas containing the Yaaxil tend to have fog.

Guns Do Not Work That Way: With a side of It Works Better with Bullets thrown in. The Umbrage is a powerful, accurate and above all, natively suppressed assault rifle that, for some reason, completely lacks a magazine in its well. It can look quite jarring to players with even basic interest in firearms, especially since the Umbrage's menu icon does show it with a magazine loaded.

Acrophobic Bird: The helicopters largely get destroyed because they're way too close to the action, allowing people to jump aboard or structures to be collapsed on them. Justified in the oil field fight since it's acting as gunship support for ground troops, which does require operating at low altitude. In the finale, helicopters are again fighting ground forces, and are forced into proximity by the fact that they're operating in a cavern. A large cavern, but nevertheless a cavern.

Took a Level in Badass: Downplayed. Some late-game Trinity mooks now wield shotguns and wear infrared night-vision goggles that can spot Lara through vegetation. No more lurking in the underbrush with impunity for you, although the guys tend to be easy to sneak up on, even so as long as they keep following their initial patrol routes. They also rarely look up when they're searching for her, so hiding in the tree tops is as viable as ever, especially with all the nasty tricks Lara can now play on hapless mooks passing by below her ...

Foreshadowing: Just entered a new area with lots of stuff to hide in, but no enemies in sight? Don't worry, they'll show up soon enough. One of the earliest optional tombs in the game has sections where you can see sudden movements, hear strange muttering and shouting, and twice have spiked projectiles dropped on you without seeing your attackers. Significantly later, you meet the Yaaxil, retroactively solving that mystery.

Continuity Nod: One of the documents Lara can find at the Porvenir Oil Fields was written by the Trinity sniper who shot Ana in the previous game's final cutscene.

If you have save data from the other two Tomb Raider games, you get costumes based on those games, even those that were DLC. It gets even funnier when you have costumes that make her a low polygon version of her old version.

Then the segment ends and Lara walks into her father's suicide complete with Please Wake Up for good, heart-rending measure.

Piranha Problem: Underwater levels have Lara needing to hide in seaweed beds to avoid patrolling schools of piranha, or they'll chew her to pieces. Unlike the regular piranhas that can be avoided, one DLC challenge tomb uses a piranha infestation to justify its particular brand of platforming. There, any contact with the water at all deals high DoT that'll kill Lara in about five seconds, but at least it's possible to survive if you manage to climb back out quick enough.

Also as usual, your starting handgun has great stats all around, packs a punch, is extremely accurate, is one of the few weapons that can be silenced, ammo is plentiful (relatively speaking), and Lara can carry enough of it to dominate any combat segment without too much trouble. If you're a half-decent shot, the AB .45 is the only gun you'll ever need as long as you aren't fighting Yaaxil.

It doesn't have any effect on her, although the water should be boiling even without her coming close enough to the lava flows to touch them, which she must do at some points.

Grenade Spam: Trinity just love their hand grenades to force Lara out of cover, and the further you progress in the story, the worse it gets. They're also freakishly accurate throwers no matter the distance, so prepare to spend half the battles desperately dashing from cover to cover.

Epic Fail
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_b4eff8a8
comment
Epic Fail: Soon after Lara arrives in Paititi, Etzli is captured by the Cult. Lara and his mother Unuratu stage a rescue that frees Etzli, but gets Unuratu captured instead. One of her men, Hakan, tries to free Unuratu, only to fail and get himself captured, too. It takes Lara involving herself in this mess to rescue everyone. No wonder the game was criticized for making the locals look like they can't get anything done on their own. On the other hand, Lara's "rescue" of Unuratu leads to her having to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to keep Lara from being captured, so arguably Lara's involvement is just another stage in the ongoing Epic Fail ...

 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_b6cebad3

Double Standard: Lara and the story repeatedly goes on about how bad it is when foreigners come in and loot historical artifacts for their own glory and greed, with Trinity frequently singled out for this. While Lara goes through the game happily stealing everything not nailed down in hub towns and raiding tombs, all of which would presumably just end up stored in a vault somewhere in Croft Manor.

One Stat to Rule Them All
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_b798d379
comment
One Stat to Rule Them All: Weapon damage. Ammunition is extremely scarce in this game because it's only found where it logically makes sense, which means wherever Trinity mooks are active. However, most of the time you'll be battling Kukulkan cultists, Yaaxil and animals instead of Trinity, and while you can buy firearms ammo from merchants, it's so hideously expensive that stocking up on bullets even once can easily bankrupt you. It's therefore imperative to maximize the damage you can deal with what little ammo you can carry, so going for the spray-and-pray approach with fast-firing, low-damage guns won't get you very far in the long run.

Playable Epilogue
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_b9e82f09
comment
The knife upgrades actually qualify as different selectable weapons for some reason. Normally, this isn't a problem, as upgrading the knife makes you automatically equip the upgrade. During the Playable Epilogue, the selection quietly shifts back to the basic knife, preventing you from opening Braided Rope barriers until you go into the inventory screen and change it, which you never needed to do before.

Sadistic Choice: Subverted by the New Game Plus-exclusive skill trees and equipment. Starting an NG+ run makes it sound like you'll be stuck with whatever specialization you pick for the rest of the game. But the skills you didn't choose can be acquired the usual way once you've unlocked all others in their respective tree, and the special weapons can be purchases from merchants. The only thing you effectively decide at the beginning is which skills and equipment are unlocked automatically for that run.

Sniper Pistol: Three of the four available semi-auto handguns have upgrade options to fully max out their accuracy rating. This makes them the most accurate firearms in the game, surpassing even the New Game Plus-exclusive Redding Bolt-Action rifle, which is this game's closest equivalent to a Sniper Rifle. It also means that, thanks to its added benefits of high damage and ability to mount a Hollywood Silencer, the humble AB .45 pistol is the most efficient long-range weapon in your arsenal, better than the actual sniper rifle you can't even acquire in the base game.

Dull Surprise: While there's little to be said against the main cast's voice acting, the hub cities' NPCs got a lot of flak for theirs, and with good reason.

Harder Than Hard: The hardest difficulty setting Deadly Obsession locks navigation, combat and puzzles at the hardest setting and only allows the game to be saved at camps. Given some sections involve prolonged combat, deadly traps or challenging platforming sections (or all of these), parts of the game become marathon levels with a Final Death Mode thrown in.

Cutscene Incompetence
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd
comment
Cutscene Incompetence: They may be rare, but some cutscenes mess Lara up, although the given situation wouldn't have been too much trouble in actual gameplay. One of the worst offenders is her death scene in the petroleum deposit challenge tomb, where she gets killed by two bog-standard wolves without even putting up a fight. Granted, she's wounded from the fall, but that's never stopped her from kicking ass and taking names before, either. For a Cutscene Indolence example: the very definitely final battle against Trinity involves the bad guys setting up a tripod-mounted M2 Browning machine gun in a cutscene when they spot Lara entering the room. Lara just stands there and watches until the gunner starts throwing tons of lead her way, forcing her to sprint from cover to cover to escape the withering firepower.

Human Sacrifice: The Mayan civilization plays a central role in the plot. Of course there'd be human sacrifices. Lara herself volunteers as one after the Final Battle to stop the apocalypse, in an obvious effort to atone for her role in starting the whole mess in the first place. Thankfully, the intention alone seems to have been enough to appease the gods, and she survives unharmed.

Shout-Out: Lara's new ability to cover herself in mud in order to avoid visual and thermal detection is straight out of Predator. Her stealth gameplay and terror tactics in general feel quite a lot like you're playing a Yautja instead of a young human woman. A Commander Rourke raiding a lost city? Not the first time that's happened. Porvenir oil fields? Now that sounds familiar... From the achievement list: First Blood, for performing a stealth takedown from a mud-covered wall That's a Knife!, for fully upgrading Lara's makeshift knife Queen of the Damned, for teaming up with the Yaaxil Queen for the Final Battle From The Forge DLC, we have the Echoes of the Fast/Furious achievements. From The Pillar DLC, we have the Float Like A Butterfly and Sting Like A Bee achievements.

Spiders Are Scary: Twofold. Firstly, most regions have spiders the size of Lara's hand scurrying around everywhere, and although they're harmless to her and tough to spot without Survival Instinct, their mere presence may give arachnophobes a hard time. Secondly, those very same spiders are the source of the venom you need to craft Fear Arrows that send humans into such an intense state of terror that they gun down anyone they can see until the poison kills them.

Translation Convention: You can toggle whether the villagers of the Mayan Hub City speak in their native language or the language the game is set to. It's meant to improve immersion for the player, but since Lara continues to talk in her posh upper class English regardless (which the locals understand just fine), the contrast tends to come across as a bit silly instead.

Animal Motifs

comment
Animal Motifs: The Cult of Kukulkan's iconography draws heavily from the local fauna. The three castes that play an active role in the game are Serpent Guards (priests and elite warriors), Eagle Archers, and the Jaguar Warriors, who act as city guards and patrols. All three tend to wear elaborately decorated helmets styled after their namesake animal. Lara herself has a more subtle jaguar motif going on. The first special outfit she acquires is made from the pelt of the first empress jaguar she killed personally, she stalks the jungle like a jaguar, and the top tier of her makeshift knife refers to the beast by name.

The original unpatched ending did this, by way of a Call-Forward, when Lara receives a letter from an individual who would be the main antagonist of the original Tomb Raider.

Art Evolution: Weapon upgrades look considerably more like what you'd expect gun parts made out of the wilderness out of whatever scrap you can scrounge up to look like. Compared to the sleeker, more professional parts that you'd expect from a master gunsmith.

Gorn: While nowhere near the levels of Tomb Raider (2013), Shadow still features several spectacularly gory scenes of violence and mutilated bodies.

Nerf: Melee is considerably less reliable than it was in the previous two games, with enemies being far more capable of dodging your attacks and needing more hits to trigger an execution.

Covered in Mud: Lara can cover her skin in mud to help her blend into mud-covered walls to set up a nasty surprise for any oblivious mook that passes by. It also helps conceal her heat signature once Trinity starts using infrared goggles that can see her in grassy hiding spots.

No Endor Holocaust: Lara can revisit San Juan after the destructive mudslide, and everything there is fine. Characters will even reference the event, indicating the patch of land you can get to was inexplicably spared from any harm. A DLC quest involves platforming through a deserted village nearby, the ground covered with toxic muck. Lara hopes that the people will be able to return soon.

Arbitrary Mission Restriction
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_ef2c9b2d
comment
Arbitrary Mission Restriction: The only weapon Lara is allowed to carry in Paititi and its surroundings is her bow; you can't even upgrade her guns at base camps in the greater area. Similarly, she can't wear any outfit that isn't mostly or fully Incan. Some combat segments do give her access to her full arsenal, but it's not something you should count on most of the time. The arbitrary part comes from the fact that these restrictions persist even after their purpose - keeping Lara's presence hidden from the Cult of Kukulkan - is gone. It gets even worse once you reach the point in the story where Lara infiltrates the Cult of Kukulkan. Unlike the Vestige Outfits, the Serpent Guard outfit you're forced to wear for several tough battles does not provide any buffs whatsoever. There is one other exception to the outfit limits: If you did Rise of the Tomb Raider on a linked account, and got the Baba Yaga DLC, the Wraithskin outfit looks the part well enough they let you wear it in town. Though, you're a bit limited on whom you can talk to.

 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_f1e68523

The Not-Love Interest: Despite everything Lara and Jonah have been through, they never get together romantically in this game, which serves as the ending of the Trinity trilogy. Instead, Jonah meets a woman from a local town near the Hidden City, and they hit it off. She helps him throughout the game, and the ship is confirmed during the ending. This also makes sense, since the reboot series is supposed to be a prequel to the original Tomb Raider games, and in those games, Lara is still single.

Durable Death Trap: By now they've become so prevalent that Lara herself lampshades how something so old can still be fully functional (and very deadly) despite being exposed to the elements for centuries without any maintenance. That said, a few of them do break down after Lara is done with them.

Useless Useful Stealth
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_f9669a32
comment
Useless Useful Stealth: Stealth is extremely useful in a game whose heroine is a fragile Glass Cannon waging a one-woman war against an enemy with vast numerical superiority. However, this only works as long as you can keep dealing One Hit Kills. This becomes nearly impossible to do at range once all enemies start wearing helmets (read: well before the halfway point), which makes Lara's numerous silent weapons including her bow completely useless for this purpose - fail to instakill a single target and everyone in the area charges Lara's position immediately. The only way to keep stealth viable by this point is through melee finishers, and this becomes increasingly challenging the further you progress, plus there are a lot of segments that simply don't allow you to play stealthily.

Artistic License – Physics: Lara can now climb along the underside of overhangs once she acquires the appropriate gear. While that's within the limits of what a skilled climber can do, jumping several meters from one overhang to another on the same height level is physically impossible. The only way to make this stunt work would be to temporarily reverse gravity.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished
 Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Video Game) / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Shadow continues the trend from Rise that no matter how much abuse Lara suffers, none of it sticks for long. Living in the arm by a helicopter-mounted mini-gun barely leaves a graze that has gone a few cutscenes later, and any mud she covers herself in is removed once the stealth segment ends, or she jumps into water. At the end of the day, Lara looks as flawlessly gorgeous as always. Getting clawed in the back by a jaguar and a rock dropped on her leg in the opening merely get variations of "I'll be fine" before being ignored. Conversely, Jonah gets a parasitic worm pulled out of his arm early in the game and wears the bandage through to the end.

Mighty Whitey: A great many reviews have leveled harsh criticism at the game for having a rich white woman waltz into a tribal people's jungle capital. She is named the queen's confidant within minutes of arrival, and then starts solving all the locals' problems. While the main plot from thereon actually averts this (most of the bad guys Lara fights in Paititi and surroundings are outsiders themselves), it sure holds true for all the side quests.

Item Crafting: In addition to the weapon upgrades, arrows, special ammo types and improvised explosives from the previous games, Lara can find unique pieces of traditional Inca garb (called Vestige Outfits). These need to be restored at base camps before they can be worn. There's even a skill dedicated to reducing the amount of crafting resources required.
