Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Are you excited for Lara's new adventure? I am. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third installment of the rebooted Tomb Raider series.

In this game, Lara is agile as ever, climbing trees and getting the drop on enemies remains a solid approach as seen at E3. When a Trinity soldier gets too close, you can use a stealth kill that has Lara fire a rope arrow at the soldier, drop from the tree, and string him up. The stealth is so insane that you could covered Lara in mud. Too f*cking cool!

Let's get to the plot of this game. We know that Lara Croft will stop at nothing in order to prevent the Maya Apocalypse. She must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour as she races to defeat Trinity once and for all.

Jonah also returns as Lara's loyal friend to help her and he’s needed more than ever. At times he acts as a moral compass, other times he may question Lara’s motives. He’s always Lara’s friend, but this time you’ll see their friendship strained like never before.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider features treacherous traversal with new mechanics such as the rappel and wall run. These give the player more ways to explore the vast world, solve puzzles, while also increasing the challenge of traversal.

I'm more than excited for this game to drop. The other two Tomb Raider games in this series are dope as f*ck! I loved the original Tomb Raider games but there is something about these rebooted games that makes me love Lara Croft more than ever, even the movies are fire! But we'll talk about that another time. What's your thoughts?
