But don’t worry there’s a skill in Lara’s skill tree that will lower these prices if you are willing to wait by then. The merchants here also has the Sell function typical to merchants in other games, allowing you to sell minerals and items you find on the way to buy these rather expensive items. Some even sell rare gadgets like the Rope Ascender and the Lockpick. Some of Lara’s tools can also be bought from shops as well.Īlthough we only had the Supply Shack in Rise of the Tomb Raider, we get a number of merchants across the map here. This time around though, the pouches for your ammo can only be bought from shops. You can upgrade weapons and craft outfits too. Just like in previous games, you can access the crafting menu by going to base camps. Speaking of crafting, crafting is back once again just like from the previous installments of the game. My favorite one will have to be the GF RAL, it’s a rifle with high damage but at the cost of a slow rate of fire and reload speed but you can always get that up with crafting improvements. At first you will get the bow and arrow but later on you will also get to use weapons like the shotgun and the rifle. Although just like the previous titles, you need to progress into the story to get them unlocked. If you go guns blazing, there are a lot of weapons at Lara’s disposal. There will also be items scattered about in the combat areas that you can use as throwable items like the bottle that you can craft into a molotov cocktail or a jar that you can craft into a smoke bomb. One other way you can go in for that stealthy kill is by climbing up trees, and using your rope and arrow to hang enemies unawares Batman style. You can also hide in mud-covered walls allowing you to have more places to hide in a given area. Covering yourself with mud will allow you to be less noticeable to the enemies. Another way is to cover yourself with mud which was not present in previous games. Scattered in the area are tall grasses where you can hide and wait for the enemies to come to you for that stealthy kill. If you go the stealthy route, the environment is your friend here. There are two ways that you can approach combat, either you go in the stealthy way or go guns blazing. It’s more fluid than ever and the seamless transition between close quarter combat and long range combat just makes the fight sequences that much more fun. Gameplay-wise, I really love its combat system. The boss fight wasn’t even that impressive compared to the last one and it didn’t really provide any sort of challenge as you can just kill the boss by pelting him with all of the ammo that you have. Yes it did show us Lara became the Tomb Raider that she is but in terms of completing the trilogy itself, the story they presented here seemed forgettable compared to the last two stories we saw. I felt like the story was not a fitting end to Lara’s coming of age story. The story for me is okay but it didn’t really captivate me. Lara is accompanied by her trusty cook Jonah who seems to have lived the dangerous life of an adventurer as well. Lara’s quest took her to places in Mexico and Peru uncovering secrets of a hidden city and a prophecy that can bring an end to the world. The story this time around mainly focuses on Lara’s search for the dagger and silver box which his father died for in the hands of Trinity. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a direct sequel to Rise of the Tomb Raider following the events that happened in the previous game. Platforms: Playstation 4, Xbox One, Windowsĭeveloper: Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal Will she be able to prevent the end of the world or will she finally succumb to death? Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the swan song to “Reboot” Lara’s journey into the greatest adventures of her life. She’s better, faster, fiercer and deadlier than ever. And Lara Croft is the only one that can save us. Earthquakes and catastrophes happening left and right.
