        So far the reviews are a disappointment has its Metacritic score right now is only a 75 so far compared to the last 2 games and like high 80's type of scores.

              That's kind of where I'm at now. I'm trying to get better about only buying single player games once I've finished some other ones first. I really want to play this, but I've just started Yakuza Kiwami 2 and am pretty close to finishing Horizon. I've wasted so much money on games that literally just sit on my hard drive. Sports and multiplayer stuff is a little different to me because they're not quite the time investment. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this, though.

                I am with you guys. It’s a 77 on Metacritic right now and probably still changing. Too many games at the moment. Will wait for Christmas. I do think I will end up liking this game better than Spiderman which I’m lukewarm on right now.

                Experience Lara Croft's defining moment as she becomes the Tomb Raider. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara must master a deadly jungle, overcome terrifying tombs, and persevere through her darkest hour. As she races to save the world from a Maya apocalypse, Lara will ultimately be forged into the Tomb Raider she is destined to be. FEATURES: * Survive and Thrive In the Deadliest Place on Earth: Master an unforgiving jungle setting in order to survive. Explore underwater environments filled with crevasses and deep tunnel systems. * Become One With the Jungle: Outgunned and outnumbered, Lara must use the jungle to her advantage. Strike suddenly and disappear like a jaguar, use mud as camouflage, and instill fear in enemies to sow chaos. * Discover Dark and Brutal Tombs: Tombs are more terrifying than ever before, requiring advanced traversal techniques to reach them, and once inside they are filled with deadly puzzles. * Uncover Living History: Discover a hidden city and explore the biggest hub space ever found in a Tomb Raider game.

                  Like most the people I want to play this game its just going to have to wait till at best early 2019. RDR, Spiderman and NBA2K are easily enough to hold me over for the next 4 months plus I have a few games in my backlog to hold me over till I get my hands on Spiderman. I really enjoyed the last game just something had to give.


                  Hopefully the reviews will bump up the 80's when more comes in

                    Gamespot was a bit harsh with a 6/10. I didn’t like reading that a lot of combat areas are confined, smaller spaces. That and the lack of variety last time (much improved for Shadow tho) bothered me with the second game. The tombs are supposed to be good but the story telling still fails in comparison to Uncharted.

                      I stopped using Meta Critic a while ago because it weighs certain sites and reviews higher or lower than what they actually are.

                      I use Open Critic instead which is an overall average. Right now, SOTTR is at 81 overall. The GameSpot 6/10 is just bullcrap and some unknown site I never even heard of called Telegraph gave it a 4/10. Like, no freaking way. Come on.

                      Anyway, my favorite site and only one I go by which is Gaming Bolt gave it a 9/10 which im also expecting my own personal score to be as I don't see it being lower than that. Series is just too good. Picking it up on Friday.

                        I'd love it if they dialled back on the murder count and added more puzzling/platforming. The new games are brilliant fun, but I'd love to see more of a nod to the older style in Shadow.

                              Based on reviews, the combat sections are brutal but more spread out meaning that there's less combat areas than in the two previous games.

                              I enjoyed the combat, exploration and puzzles in the first two games, especially Rise so either way, im good.

                              Eidos Montreal is the lead developer with Crystal Dynamics (who did the first two of this rebooted trilogy) collaborating and providing support.

                                Crystal Dynamics is working on an Avengers game so their focus has shifted.
