Pros

  • From what ive seen, the people who actually like Shadow find it to be the best in the trilogy. It wasn't my favorite, but I dont think its quite as bad as some people will lead you to believe.
  • I'm about halfway through it right now and enjoying the tombs and puzzles, but the story is so boring that I've actually started skipping cutscenes.
  • It wasn’t as well paced as Rise but damn did it have the best tombs especially the optional and DLCs
  • The exploration and graphics were 10/10 for me, and I can't say I even thought to grade other parts of the game.

Cons

  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the final game in the 'Survivor Trilogy', and it's a mixed bag. The game has probably the worst pacing I've ever seen in a game. ... The story is just as poor as in Rise of the Tomb Raider, but it's saved som...
  • Couldn’t follow the third installment at all! Feels like they needed a lot more explaining to Shadow of the tomb raider
  • The tombs were great. I enjoyed it, although it's the weakest of the three.
  • As installments went on game became worse.
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider as a whole just feels uneven and out of balance. The pacing is off and there is a lack of focus and cohesiveness. The gameplay elements are all quite good taken separately, but aren't made into a well working wh...

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the final game in the 'Survivor Trilogy', and it's a mixed bag. The game has probably the worst pacing I've ever seen in a game. ... The story is just as poor as in Rise of the Tomb Raider, but it's saved somewhat by the much more interesting setting.
