If you've played any other entry in this series you know what you're getting; a fun escape room style puzzle game with light horror themes.

Short but fun and creative, would definitely recommend alongside the rest of the series.
This one goes back to being more linear and having a single ending (unlike Room #3) but the puzzles are great and the different segments of the dollhouse blend well together.

8/10
- Decent horror/ thriller game.

- Some nice unique mechanics: the light vs dark elements of combat are cool and very well done. I liked how the collectible manuscript pages relate to the story (no spoilers).

- Pretty good story. Nothing all that unique but still entertaining, somewhat generic and clearly Steven King influenced horror but it is well done and it especially lends well to a video game.

- Still holds up after 11 years, I doubt the remaster will come to Steam (Epic exclusive, maybe timed) but honestly this version is fine, I don't think a remaster was all that necessary, the only glaringly bad element visually is the facial animations but eh its fine. The remaster was probably more for "bringing a PS3/360 era 'classic' to next gen" and to drum up hype for the sequel. Likewise the recently announced sequel will be an Epic exclusive no doubt and is apparently published by Epic directly so probably will never come to Steam :(

- Don't bother with the DLC (even though it's included for free on PC) both are crap and meaningless. They don't expand much from the main story, they don't offer any more answers about any plot questions (they dont expand upon the ending) and they focus on the worst parts of the game mechanically (clunky platforming); mostly the 2nd DLC but both aren't good. They are just a mishmash of reused assets and follow a loose plot of just being lost in the dark essentially. ( trying to keep it to no/minimal spoilers)

Overall the game is definitely worth playing. Whilst the story isn't all that unique it is good and the medium it is told through (a game) is somewhat unique or at least lends itself well to the plot (trying to keep it vague here for no spoilers haha).

I suppose it could be considered a somewhat devisive game; the plot and the way the story unfolds are the stars of the show, the mechanics for combat are cool (with the whole weakening the 'dark' with your light to make them vulnerable etc) but the combat is fairly repetitive and the environments are often very similar.
I think this is why the game has a kind of cult following where some act like it is a "hidden gem" and their favourite game ever (they like the strong story and are fine with the slower pace and fairly repetitive nature) whilst others have completely overlooked the game for these reasons (like I did in 2012 after playing for about an hour, although I was ~15 at the time haha).
It's definitely worth playing it is a great game but I dont particularly understand the claims for it being people's "favourite game/ a hidden gem very few know about"; it is fairly well known and whilst being good it has some very clear problems (several aforementioned in this review).

In my opinion this game takes a huge step in the right direction for the series... Backwards

This game is way more focused on the Tombs/Crypts and Puzzle/Platforming than the previous two 'new era' games; Tomb Raider(2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Don't get me wrong, all 3 games are fun and worth your time in my opinion, but 2013 and Rise were way more 3rd person shooters than the traditional Tomb Raider experience and I feel that Shadow is more of a return to that original form.
There are still some forced combat sequences but in general there really isn't much combat in this game, which some have said makes the game worse and boring, but to me is an improvement. It focuses more on what is the best aspect of the series in my opinion (Tomb Raiding!) and sees Lara more as the skilled Tomb Raider/ Archaeologist that she is, rather than essentially female Rambo killing dozens of soldiers in the jungle like she was in the previous two games, especially Rise (although there is still a little of that in this game)

The improvements to stealth in this game were great and very well implemented. The ability to cloak in mud and foliage walls is a great addition and makes stealth way more fun, no longer is it just sitting in a bush/behind cover with a silenced weapon!

The story of all 3 new era games is fairly generic and nothing special to be honest but they're all fine and still worth playing, the gameplay is the star of the show.

However the worst part of this game by far is the performance, I kept having issues with audio cutting out and being delayed from a character model talking (which was very widespread and common, it was all over the game's forums with no working fixes). There were also lots of frame drops and I had 2 crashes throughout the ~15 hours it took me to do the story. Some of the frame drops drops were in crucial quick time event 'outrun the danger' kind of gameplay which lead to dying multiple times over and over because an input wasn't recognised which became extremely frustrating, The main city of the game was also particularly bad for frame rate most of the time I was there (which is somewhat to be expected given general poor performance and the density of the city etc but regardless I feel is worth mentioning).



TLDR:
If you like Tomb Raider as a whole this game is definitely worth playing, if you have only played the previous two 'new era' games keep in mind this one is more focused on the puzzle platforming elements and there is far less combat then the previous two titles. If you don't enjoy the Tombs as much as the combat and think less combat would make it more boring to you then this game may not for you.

Extremely simple but fun skateboarding experience, pretty nice art style, very relaxing. Perfect for just chilling to.

Before buying it it seemed like a cool puzzle game with some fun time based mechanics( from the screenshots on the storepage) it had good reviews so gave it a go.
On paper it seemed like a neat concept.

Started off alright and i thought the game's main gimmick of the time based gameplay was fairly fun but it just got worse and worse as it went on. I dont know if it "just clicked" for me or something but i found that it got easier in the later half of the game which was a weird choice of pacing.

Very clearly a mobile port with bad mouse controls and clunky menus. I experienced some glitches such as shields not working and some cases of inconsistent mechanics making things not perform as they should which soured me on the game very quickly.

A generic, uninteresting story with annoying extremely cheesy dialogue as well as huge overuse to the point of borderline spam of ellipses which drove me insane (kind of a pet peeve of mine haha).

There are many better puzzle games out there, if you are a big fan of the genre maybe give it a go on a sale or something as its very cheap but be warned it isnt very well made and is only really good in concept, the actual execution wasnt great.

This seems like a really cool idea and I really wish I could play it but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Looking through the steam discussion forums many others seem to be having similar issues but the game hits 100% CPU usage immediately. For some reason I seem to get ~10 FPS no matter what settings I apply, including changing resolution and display types. Have seen some people say this is common with the Unreal Engine 4 but I personally have no experience with that.

I would say be warned of purchasing as many people seem to have awful performance BUT this game is free so i guess give it a go yourself if you are interested.

Worst community in any game i've ever played and given the state of most multiplayer games these days that is really saying something.

This is an incredible series and I would highly recommend it to any fans of puzzle games.

Surprisingly each of these games has been better than the last and I really look forward to playing #4!

The addition of multiple endings in this game is very nice and gives some extra bits to do after the main story.

As with the second game this builds on its predecessors continuing the themes and story of the previous games.
The dark horror mystery setting is executed perfectly and I found it very interesting and engaging.

I also particularly enjoyed the variance of each chapter having its own theme and style (e.g. the workshop having more machinery/ construction style puzzles) which then all connect to a central hub, I liked the theme style in the second game too (such as the ship chapter) but I feel this game does it slightly better, especially with the inclusion of the central room/ hub which really ties the whole thing together.

Beautiful game, perfect sequel to 'To The Moon'.
Very interesting, gripping and emotional story with some great messages and a very powerful ending.
Really looking forward to the 3rd game now!
