A lesser continuation than Rise, Shadow of the Tomb Raider sees Lara in another new setting; this time set in the Peruvian jungle where an apocalypse is about to happen and a hidden city needs to be saved before it gets remade, or outside forces occupy it.
The gameplay and features are still intact, such as challenge tombs, puzzles, gunplay and climbplay, but the overall plot and narration are less interesting, despite that I enjoyed playing this with a high frame rate mode being available on my PlayStation 4 Pro.
Again, Jonah is the only returning supporting cast, and Trinity also returns with new leads to keep Lara busy, while tribal creatures are also involved. Aside from the subtitles having different colors per characters like previous entries, you can also set the voice acting to native, dubbed, or overlapping.
It's also gorgeous to look at it's environments such as the mountains and the water effects, and it seems that any modern video game nowadays has a a camera, or a selfie mode. What's up with that trend?
