What it is
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure game developed by Eidos Montreal, following Lara Croft as she races to stop a Maya apocalypse. Its jungle setting calls for survival and stealth: Lara can use mud for camouflage, strike from cover, and use fear to disrupt enemies. Exploration includes underwater areas, dangerous tombs with puzzles, and a hidden city described as the largest hub space in a Tomb Raider game. The Definitive Edition combines the base game with seven DLC challenge tombs and downloadable weapons, outfits, and skills. The game is listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Steam features include single-player, achievements, Trading Cards, Steam Cloud, and Remote Play on Phone, alongside full controller support and support for DualShock and DualSense controllers.
