A solid ending to a brilliant trilogy! I never played any of the original Tomb Raider games, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the reboot series. The first one (2013) was absolutely lovely, the second a quality sequel, and this one ends the series on a high note, bringing closure and a happy sigh of contentment (and a little sadness). Like the previous two games, Shadow brings beautiful and immersive environments allowing exploration, run-throughs or a combination of both. Gameplay is engaging, the music is good as always, but the puzzles could be more complicated. The storyline is actually believable, which can be hard to achieve on a final note. Shadow gives an entire level of backstory to Lara, in which you can play as her as a little girl; Lara receives closure on her father's life's work, Trinity is finally stopped, and Jonah has a happy ending too. The money spent on this game is worth it. This game is also longer than the previous two. In chronological order, I find them to be about 18, 25 and 40 hours each (an estimation).
