Lara Croft’s a capable warrior and an adept athlete, this much we know – but for Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s 10,000th trailer, Square Enix wants to show how smart and resourceful the heroine can be. And to be honest, she’s a bloody genius: she can turn beetles (!!!) into poison arrows and eat plants to slow down time. Man, if we were that clever, we wouldn’t waste our time infiltrating Mayan temples, but each to their own.

Square wants to make sure we know that Lara as not to be messed with
Like we didn't have two games to hammer that point across.
Sammy please stop 😂
Yeah but will we actually be infiltrating tombs/temples and solving puzzles, or will this be another shoot first raid later kinda deal...
And fake.
I ate some plants this morning to see if I could slow down time and all I got was the plaps. Of course, it did feel like I was on the toilet for ages so maybe time DID slow down.
If she was really so smart she wouldn't have accidentally unleashed the apocalypse in the first place!
@LaNooch1978 Oh yeah - hold down X for a courtesy fllush. They can reuse most of the climbing grunts for sound clips.
@JoeBlogs I think it's just a bit tired at this point. It doesn't help that Square's tagline is "become the Tomb Raider", which is the same one it also used for the previous two entries. The game will likely be more of the same, which is fine for those that like the games, but it doesn't inspire a whole lot of enthusiasm otherwise.
@RogerRoger I know it's a trilogy, but I think a trilogy of games about becoming the tomb raider is a bit played out. Even as a fan of the series going back to PSOne, I'm tired of these games. That's not to say I think it will be bad, I was merely pointing out why I think there isn't much enthusiasm around it this time.
I loved the first reboot, Rise not so much but it was alright. It being xbox only for a year killed my hype and enthusiasm. Plus the game went more... open world? Lots of fluff that ruined the pacing and got a bit boring but kind of bugged me to leave.
@RogerRoger Thanks much for the clarification! I am now officially really excited about the game, rather then pretty excited. I'm a huge TR fan from day one, so hearing the tombs have been altered to make for a more true-to-Croft experience is extremely encouraging. I'm actually looking forward more to this than to Spiderman now.
