- Performance problems and Lara’s story hold it back.

## Summary

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition has arrived on Switch 2, completing the console ports of the Survivor Trilogy. The 2018 adventure offers a substantial final chapter in Lara Croft’s origin story, with enjoyable tomb puzzles and tense action, though performance issues and a weaker story make it less successful than its predecessors.

Set in Mexico and Peru, the plot follows Lara after she takes an ancient dagger and triggers a disaster, then tries to stop an impending apocalypse and the Trinity organisation. The review criticises Lara’s recklessness and selfishness, while praising the environments, traversal and puzzles. Combat is less frequent and stealth plays a larger role; the Definitive Edition includes the game’s DLC.
