This game has great graphics and the story is solid. The only issue I have been experiencing is that when you put your xbox in stand by and turn it back on it has to go back to the main menu instead of leaving where you were left off in the game. This will probably be fixed in a patch in the future hopefully. 5 stars.

I've played each of the new tomb raiders and have enjoyed them all. This is more of the same great gameplay you're used to if you enjoyed the other two. It also has a bit more in the way of tombs and I enjoyed this setting more than the other two - although that comes down to personal taste.

From the graphics to the storyline. This game was well thoughtout and you won't be disappointed because your going to be in alot of action filled, rush kills, fun till the end gameplay. If you haven't got it then don't hesitate it will keep you wanting to play over and over.

If you enjoyed the first two in the revival of Lara you will love this. More tools to work with while raiding tombs, good story line, better puzzles and a great back drop of Places to explore. Get your treasure hunting hat on and grab your pistols- this is a great ride.

Always been a fan of Tomb Raider, even from the beginning (Saturn), and really enjoyed these latest new installments from TR 2013, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and now this, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Game is amazing and flows nicely. Tomb puzzles are great too!

This is the 3rd & final installment in this rebooted franchise & it improves & stays consistent with the core components stealth survival traversing & the part that eluded a lil he prior 2 puzzles & tombs granted weapon combat is smooth searching & finding tombs & exploring is done extremely well this solidifies progression of the rebooted franchise to this point

More of the same third person adventure game. Lara and the environment look and sound better than ever dolby atmos sound track is better than assassins creed origin. Very impressive xbox X title. Can only hope future games will use 4k hdr/atmos setup.

This title is much like the last couple tomb raider games in that it focuses more on explorations and, puzzles, and collectibles as opposed to combat which is really it's only flaw (as it feels like there is little combat in an adventure/action game)

It's very similar to the two previous Tomb Raider games. The graphics are great and the story is interesting. It is an excellent game but I do get the been there, done that before feeling while playing this game which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I love the Tomb Raider series! This game has beautiful scenery, great action and very engaging storyline. Lara has some new moves also. Each game in the series just gets better and better! This one is the best so far!

Having played the two proceeding titles I went into this game expecting more of the same with some minor improvements. I was not let down in my assumption.
If you haven't played the two previous titles the story will leave you in the dark pretty often as this is a direct continuation of the plot from the previous titles. The abilities, skills and traits earned throughout those two titles are accessible immediately upon starting this game, which for veteran players is quite nice as you don't have to spend an hour or two relearning basic abilities.
The main compliment that I can provide is the visuals on display. This game is down right stunning at times. Even at 1080p, the texture quality and level of detail is breath-taking. Playing on the Xbox One X is an added treat as you can opt for further improved visuals or a more fluid frame-rate, both options providing a solid experience.
The story is a bit on the short side, which is why I only gave the title 4/5 stars. I would still recommend this game but urge players to work their way through the first two titles before jumping into this.

I can’t expect nothing less than amazing from Crystal Dynamics. Played the last 2 and so far the third installment has been amazing. If you have an xbox one x, even better with improved lighting and resolution.

I was never a Tomb Raider fan until I played the 20th Anniversary Edition. So I had to pick up Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and I am VERY pleased with the game. Amazing graphics, great story, and fun to play.

I've been a fan of the Tomb Raider games ever since the first one and I love this new run of "Young Lara Croft" even more. I'm still in the middle of the campaign for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but so far I'm really digging this adventure as it explores the ramifications of the "grave robbing" portrayed in these archeological adventures. To be fair, there are quite a few long "cut scenes" where at times I forgot that I was playing a game. While these unplayable scenes add to the cinematic feel of the game and fleshes out the story, the extended minutes of inactivity killed the play momentum at times. Overall though, this is a beautiful and enjoyable game for hardcore games and casual games like myself.

Having loved the previous two Tomb Raiders, I have not been disappointed by this one so far. Grander settings, more versatile tombs and crypts, and a story/character progression that feels natural.

I don't understand the online hate for this game, I enjoyed my playthrough. Looks really good on the x box one x and the story wasn't bad. To the People that say it's more of the same I say, so what? Cod, battlefield, Madden, Mario, Zelda are also more of the same. I recommend this game.

More focus on exploring and less on combat, like the original TR's. I prefer exploring tombs, solving puzzles and finding challenge tombs, and this delivers! Best 4K and HDR on X1X also!

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is awesome! If you enjoyed the reboot and Rise of the Tomb Raider, this is in the same tier. New tombs and areas to explore and a deeper story. Great game.

Graphics are fantastic, especially on the X. Gameplay and story are solid and I love the Mayan/Aztec mythology and theme. This is turning out to be my favorite Lara Croft romp yet!!
