Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be announced tomorrow with a 2018 release date

Completed the first game, 2013 reboot, And really liked it but not Rise of the Tomb Raider, Will have to give it a go before this comes out.
 
I enjoyed the Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider. They weren't revolutionary but they were solid fun games that kept me hooked until the credits rolled. I'm very much looking forward to Shadow.
 
I had the very first tomb raider game when it came out many years ago and loved it but never re-visited the franchise since, maybe I will give this a looksee
 
Got bored during the first one didn't even glance at the second. Not interested really. Just like Uncharted better for some reason for the treasure hunting style games
 
The first one was very good, but not as good as some were saying. I haven't had a huge desire to play the second one. The film is not getting good reviews (surprise, surprise) and I don't have any burning desire to play another Tomb Raider game.
 
Check the "Page source" of that particular page, puzzle too easy in this game

I hope they finally give her twin pistols. And make her more badass ffs. I don't like a screaming whining Lara, I like a confident borderline sociopathic Lara.

:D That did make me actual lol. I've still yet to finish ROTTR. I had so many issues with it at launch I couldn't really play it, then it just got swept to the wayside.
 
And she well should be more confident by now, agreed?
Sure. She was killing people in the last one like it's going out of style, and yet she still acted like she's totally new at it. It just doesn't feel right. She was a freakin' predator. Her abilities and willingness to murder her fellow man should be reflected in her personality.

I was being serious. Borderline sociopathy is the best way to explain the stereotype of the action hero/heroine of the 80's and 90's that Lara Croft was based on. These days a flawed, reluctant, self-sacrificing hero is all the rage. There's nothing wrong with that, but you can't build a violent action-adventure game with a character like that. Such a character couldn't be a mass murderer that gameplay demands him/her to be. And that's precisely what they've attempted with new Lara Croft. From a narrative perspective it simply doesn't work.
