Good evening everyone, I finished playing the game today that I am writing this review and I would like to share my personal opinion. First of all, having played the previous title, I would like to mention that when I played Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I immediately noticed the graphical, audio, and gameplay improvements compared to the previous one. Everything is on another level, especially the sound. You can understand it when you pass through the forests and hear the leaves, the birds, and every little detail. Now, the graphics, having everything set to "on" in the settings and most of the settings on ultra with only depth of field and screen space contact shadows set to high, I have to say that it left me speechless. Everything has authenticity and realism that should exist in every AAA title in 2018. From character models to the mud in the swamps, everything looks flawless. I forgot to mention that I have the texture filtering set to 16x and ambient occlusion set to HBAO+. These are all my settings, and the benchmark gave me an average of 55 fps on a 1080p monitor. My system is two years old now since I built it and it consists of an i5 6500, RX 480 XFX GTR Edition 8GB, and 16GB of RAM, so I believe that a current system will run it equally well and definitely better for those who have a GTX 1070 or a higher graphics card. I would say that the company did a very good job with the PC port, and during the 10 hours of the new Lara's adventure, I didn't notice any stuttering or anything that would disrupt the smooth flow of fps and therefore my experience. However, I would say as the only negative aspect the duration of the game, which despite playing for about 1.5-2 hours per day, it ended in less than a week, even though I bought it for 60 euros. I would recommend buying it for 30 euros or less, solely for its duration, because I consider it an exceptional improvement in all other aspects compared to Rise. Finally, regarding the gameplay, it has everything you remember from the previous game but adds some extra elements that make it even better. I won't say more to avoid spoilers. Happy shopping and holidays with good health. Take care, everyone!
