With the Coronavirus putting pretty much most of the world in some form of lockdown, I’ve finally been able to work through my video game pile of shame. In this time I’ve finished A Plagues Tale: Innocence, Knights and Bikes and Panzer Dragoon. Next on the list to work through was Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the final part of the rebooted series which started with Tomb Raider (the 2013 one- in no way confusing with the original Tomb Raider from the mid-90’s) and Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015), both of which I played and completed.
Shadow is a very pretty game and a rip-roaring adventure to boot but its po-faced seriousness grated on me after a while. However, it was a well spent 25 hours or so and a fitting conclusion to the ‘origins’ of Lara Croft… well, until the next reboot. Check out the screenshots from my playthrough.
