It's better that Rise and TR13 together.

It is without a doubt. Still dissapointing and lackluster, but it's better than the other two.

Here’s a question then; Why is Shadow better than the former two games for you?

For me, I love the fact that the majority of the game takes place in actual tombs. They’re not just optional (TR’13) and they’re expanded on 100% (Rise). I love how EM gave the fans what they wanted, removable white ledges, Lara doesn’t tell you how to complete a puzzle unless you ask (Survival Instinct) and the on-screen text has been completely removed.

You can also tell that EM looked at the classics for inspiration and gave us as much as they were allowed, Lara’s default outfit for example is clearly the classic outfit reimagined for reboot Lara.

This pretty much sums it for me as well. I also think Shadow managed a better balance in terms of atmosphere and also in terms of gameplay.
