Great experience. I loved first game and I got what I expected from Hellblade in part II. Story and gameplay didn't dissapoint me. It is not game for everyone - not another open-world mainstream action game. It is such a shame that it did not sell enough for similar games to be funded and developed in the future.

I enjoyed the story, I liked the characters and all the elements typical for Mass Effect Series, like all political games on Nexus station. The MASS EFFECT CORE is very good for me. Biggest problem for me was openworld elements on the surface of the planets. Some quest were like created by some "random quest generator" - scan 10 pieces of something, bring 5 pieces of other thing, switch 3 devices... Sometimes less is better. Too much of generic boring fetch quests to do, till you get to more interesting moments of the game... especially if you still remember DA Inquistion with similiar structure.

Very good game with potential for being great, if would have bigger budget. Tactical part is very good, also RPG elements, graphics even great for a tactical game (especially on OneX with 4K screen). Characters are interesting on the begining but later they don't have much to say. Every level is a puzzle, how to kill as much enemies as you can in stealth mode before main battle begin. It is also a good way to level up your team, upgrade your equimpment and prepare for every bigger challenge. Game is hard on the start, but later you gain control on everything, especially you can take the EXP for lonley maruders and grab scrap for upgrades also on the maps were enemies are still to strong. You can always come back later and better prepared. I hope there will be a sequel with bigger budget, where story will be better presented (with some cutscenes for example) and there will be some interactions between those interesting characters. Then it can be a 10/10 game :)

IMO best part of trilogy. Tomb Raider 2013 was a quite good game but it wasn't a real Tomb Raider. Rise of TR (2015) was much better game if you enjoy puzzles, platforming and exploration but still there was too much shooting for me. Shadow of Tomb Raider is even more about actual Tomb Raiding :) I was really suprised how great this game is after mixed reviews. I got it for Christmas and plan was to launch it to see how it looks, and then go back to Red Dead Redemption 2 :) Then I heard the music in the menu... and couldn't resist till I completed game in 100%. My only complaint is about some boring quests in the biggest hub location (Paititi). This average content doesn't fit to the rest of game and slowed down action too much... The rest i enjoyed very much, even fighting (not always stealth) :) New swimming mechanic and underwater locations with claustrophobic passages are great. Overall atmosphere created by music (I love the sountrack), graphics and narration was the very consistant and left me with nostalgia :) Very good ending for this trilogy, I will miss it trilogy much more than I expected.
