Default Where does SOTTR rank compared to other TR games?

Just my two cents...

I guess it would be nice to judge SOTTR right now. I feel like it can be more objective.

No release hype, no new online reviews to affect your judgment, all the DLCs are available, and you've replayed the game more than once (most likely). I just wanna know what you currently think.

Me personally...

1. Rise of the Tomb Raider
2. Tomb Raider 2
3. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
4. Guardian of Light / Temple of the Osiris
5. Tomb Raider 1 (reboot) / Tomb Raider Legend
6. Lara Croft Go

7. Everything else

I wasn't thinking of putting Shadow too high on this list, until after I finished playing Underworld lately. The only Tomb Raider game that took me this long to finish, I was actually surprised I still finished it.

I realized how good Shadow was, after contemplating that the LAU trilogy did not age gracefully.

So if you wanna be nostalgic about the auto aim with Lara's acrobatics, I don't think LAU can cut it anymore.

I was actually trying to play Legend a few days ago just to get rid of my disappointment with Underworld, but it can't give me that fix.

SOTTR,even if flawed by today's gaming standards, has a number of redeeming attributes when you objectively think about it. I won't go into the details, but you get the idea.

Haven't played TR1 (I'm sure sure it must be hell of a cool game)

Shadow is my second favorite of all time after The Last Revelation. I think it's a prime example of modernizing Tomb Raider when it comes to tombs and exploration.

Well, I ranked it in my top 3:

TR Last Revelation. I'm not overly keen on Cairo, and a couple of sections are a tad too quiet, but as an overall experience and story, it's my favourite of the Core era. I lovingly call it "Crawl Raider" .

Shadow of the Tomb Raider. What can I say, it's exactly what I'd want from a modern Tomb Raider game.
