Ok

These are personally some of my favorite games that I have played.

One of the best game review I ever watched. Enough info with no spoilers. Thanks.

yeah, Rise is definitely the best; I like that it heavily borrows from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade stuff; you can even find the False Holy Grail in one of the tombs that is almost an exact replica of the movie. However the only puzzle that was really a puzzle was in Croft Manor where you had to combine knowledge from the items to crack the safe, I wish there were more puzzles like that but I guess that would have made it far too hard for the game journo's that are nothing more then political activists and commentators; that really don't like games. I think game dev's pander to them far too much.

i wonder if Shadow is worth it i only played the second , , which i like

2ns for sure, shit I dunno 1st is great too lol.... How about 1 and 1a?

@@giannilyanicks1718 Its a great closure to the trilogy. I'd well I did Invest. The best? No. But not bad at all

Shadow is pretty mediocre

really?

@@KydzPlays yes...really

Literally how? The first game alone is the exact same minute of gameplay across the entire campaign.

@@rayjohnson2387 I, mean, they’re no uncharted but they’re fine.

@@KydzPlays these games are better than uncharted and uncharted. 3

i underestimated the first game

Yeah I liked the graphics/style of the first game. It had a gritty look that fit the feel of the game. While Rise and Shadow's graphics are objectivly better, I feel they kind of had a different feel to them. The first games graphics perfectly went hand to hand with the survival feel of the game.

@@vengeance1450 Yeah, the first game has a different tone. It's much more oppresive, raw and desperate. I guess it's only natural since in Rise and Shadow, Lara sets on the adventure of her own volition, while in TR 2013 it's a situtation she didn't want to get in and survival takes priority. I wish the other games had kept a feeling of desperate survival. The only times I felt it again was when Lara tracks the jaguar at the beginning of Shadow, and suddenly the jungle is so scary and Lara stops tracking because she realizes that she has been spotted first by the jaguar, and also when Lara risks being trapped under the ice in the river in Rise, but since Jacob bails her out, it's not as good.

1st one will age terribly. Gameplay is fun but graphics are not the greatest, effects for example look terrible. 2013 was year of The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite and GTA V to get the perspective. Not to mention Uncharted 3 looked way better in 2011. To be honest not many games will graphically hold up.

@@trochealt4673you’re insane . The 1st games graphics are still AMAZING til this very day

That's a fair point. I personally like these games best when they balance puzzle solving and exploration with the right amount of combat, but I can totally understand if you prefer more puzzles and exploration. The tomb's in Shadow were some of the best ones of the trilogy I think

It's this very reason why Rise is my least favorite. I found it very combat heavy, and the final encounter left me wanting

@@MyRascle the first game was even more combat heavy, Rise was a mix of both combat and exploration

Yeah that for me is why Shadow is my favourite as I liked the characters story and puzzles and I'm not really that big a fan of the whole run out of there like your ass is on fier stuff that the first 2 games had. I think if you do appreciate a good balance of everything then Rise is probably the best one. But personaly I prefer puzzle and good stor ytype games as I've always struggled with QTE's due to my diasbility making me slower on the controls and the 2013 game certainly had a lot of those which for me is why it's my least favouriet and whilst I love the puzzles and story of the game I think they overdid a lot of the fast paced stuff. I know there is less heavy action in Rise and Shadow but for me those 2 managed it better so at least it still felt like Lara was trying t oout think theenem yrather than just outrunning or outfighting them. I still need to back in and plaqy Shadow's DLC's at some point but I'll probably do that when I next feel ready to revisit the games

@@MyRascle Yeah, I think Rise is my favorite but near the end of the game it gets so annoying with combat. Like when you start fighting those magical guys (I forgot their name) the game starts to get annoying and repetitive. I like when there is a good balance of combat and puzzles/exploration.

I liked Rise's visuals a lot however it was a game that still worked on the xbox 360. Shadow is a massive step up in every graphical category as it no longer had to work on 2005 hardware.

Yesssssass. This is exactly what I think. Rise is the one i didn’t like much, mostly because i felt it was too grindy.

Already by Legend they interjected more combat. The OG style was failing in popularity and retail value already by TB4..

Thank you! Finally someone who prefers Shadow, even for the same reasons as I do. I don't get why this one isn't as popular as the other two. I played them, enjoyed bits and pieces here and there, but never felt like I was playing Tomb Raider (more like a weaker Uncharted with way less humor and more emphasis on survival). With this game, I finally did. The exotic locales, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the pacing - after so many years the magic was back. And in came the professional and customer reviews in rare unison: NOT AS GOOD AS THE OTHER TWO! I fail to see why. I don't care for the other two, but I'd have loved to see the franchise continue in the vein of Shadow.

Nah shadow has the best graphics by far.

Yeah and the other characters do barely nothing, she get all the shit on her

Yeah, that's probably the reason why dr Whitman scheme can be seen miles away

You can see this progression in the batman games too

Also falling on her face from meters of height like 20 times

yeah lara's voice actress acted her heart out on the last game she really elevated the character

I heard all three are gonna be free on epic games on 31st,keep an eye out for them

@@Alsina_arnele if this never happened you can buy all three as a bundle which goes on sale for 20 bucks often on the PlayStation store

@@brots3 Thats the same bundle I purchased on my Xbox. Best 20$ I ever spent lol

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

I'm glad you liked it! It's a fun trilogy to play

The second game had the most interesting characters. They are a big part of why I think Rise's story is so great.

Exactly my thoughts. It'ss never good, wenn writer changes within a story. I just wonder, why Crystal Dynamics did that or what was the reason behind that. Part 3 left me with so many open questions and an unsatisfying ending.

​​@@oliver.n278Crystal Dynamics didn't make Shadow, Eidos Montreal did. Crystal was busy with Avengers.

I'm so glad you liked it! I definitely plan on doing more game reviews in the future, so stay tuned!

Except Lara's not even slightly a badass the second the game takes away control from the player. She's nervous, jittery, naive, weak, and vulnerable for almost the entire story. The first instance of her having a spine comes in when she claps back at "Everyone close to you seems with wind up dead" with "Better keep your distance, then". The entire rest of the game she's in danger, running from danger, or keeping her trap shut and just letting Reyes dick around with everyone's safety. The only other instance I can think of is when she goes against what Roth tells her to do and goes to save the second pilot.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the games!

Thank you so much!

🎯🎯

Enjoy the games!

Same my guy absolute bargain and an excellent review here. Subbed after watching this

Rise is my favorite of the three as well. It has my favorite story of the three and my favorite environments to explore

I'm happy you liked the video! I ended up enjoying Shadow, but after playing Rise it was certainly a bit of a letdown.

Gosh, I hate these pathetic monologs of this overdramatic Lara in Rise :D Shadow is much better for me. It's a real Tomb Raider game.

Yeah I didn't really like Lara as a person in Shadow. She seemed like she didn't care that she got tons of innocent people killed and didn't care who died as long as she got to her goal. In the first two games she was very kind and supportive of other people but in Shadow she only seems to care about herself. Like Jonah will be talking about his dead brother or something and she'll completely blow him off and continue talking about her or the riddles. I heard that Lara in the original Tomb Raider games is kind of a bitch which upsets me because I would like to play those games but if she is stuck on herself the whole time I don't know.

@@Cez24 I wouldn't say they are "overdramatic" she literally almost dies every five minutes so I think her sitting down and talking about everything that happened is realistic and understandable. That's yout opinion though and you're welcome to it but saying it's being overdramatic is kind of the wrong choice of words.

We got the same order, I agree!

Glad you liked it! Both are great games. Hope you and your wife enjoy Shadow!

Thank you! Shadow does a lot of things right, some even better than the other two. Even though it's my least favorite of the three, it's still a solid game

Really glad you liked it!

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

I have played all 3 games in the trilogy. my list would be Rise, 2013, Shadow. I'm more into combat over puzzles type of guy and Rise simply takes the 1st place. the weapons are cool and the combat with enemies in some amazing environment is also amazing. Shadow is more puzzles and far less combat. this is why I don't really like Shadow. last in my list.

Glad you liked the video! Shadow's puzzles were certainly a highlight of that game. Definitely some of the best ones in the trilogy!

@@sagemodejedi6041 oh! Don't forget the Lara rage scene. That was... OMG

@@slantedglasses7242 such a great scene!

The thing with this comment is that I agree and relate with you so much, it's honestly so infuriating that they always have to compare it to the past games because they are angry about this reboot, I liked the new Lara as a character, the games on their own are great.

@@sindelscat9336 those people stopped thinking as soon as they heard someone say it was “woke”. It’s not woke, it’s the perfect way to update an aging franchise. They’re so hung up over politics and their own issues that they can’t think. It’s not woke, it’s actually realistic, and Lara gets scared, but she also gets BRUTAL. Wading in a sewer full of blood, killing everything. It’s nonsense, you can see though it easily if you look at reality.

Thanks for sharing! The first game has a great origin story for Lara, and the environments and challenge tombs in Shadow are some of the best of the series. I'm personally a big fan of the story and setting of Rise, but that's just me

All full up, I can't carry any more.
