Glitch Raider! - Shadow of the Tomb Raider Glitches and Funny Moments



With the 3rd and final game in the Tomb Raider Trilogy Reboot now out, I decided to give it a spin and see how badly I could break the game and find time to make some humor edits.



I sadly didn't enjoy the game as much and if given the chance to review it, I would score it a 6/10.



(Wall of text, so skip if you don't need to hear anymore on the game)



Graphically the game looks great, but otherwise if you played Rise of the Tomb Raider then it plays the same. Sure, it may have some new mechanics like hiding in grass walls or grapple hook, but gameplay wise It just feel more like Rise of 2.5 in a lot of ways.
Lara is still reckless in this reboot, only now her selfless actions has caused the apocalypse set in motion and you set out to stop your mistake.
Now so far, I’ve only done one side mission… of which I just kill 10 dudes and woo you got a new gun. Idk, just feels anticlimactic with what the goal is vs the outcome. Not saying the gun is bad, but had they reworked that mission to be something other than kill 10 dudes, then I would have better adjusted to it.
I plan on wearing the wraith skin from Rise of dlc for the rest of the game since I personally love its visuals but it’s clear they just copy and paste it in rather than rework it to the new graphics or settings since the back hair and gloves glow in odd spots while in the sun.
I also don't like how you lose everything and regain them back again later on, like the shotgun or Knife to open doors or hidden areas. It makes wish for the setup in Batman Arkham City or Arkham Knight where you start off with most of the upgrades from the last game AND THEN the devs expand on them or add even more instead of just making you feel like deja vu with getting your axe or knife upgrade AGAIN in Shadow of.
Lastly, I'm also finding myself clicking in R3 a ton to go into Survival View, where the world gets a slight tint and objects you can interact with glow yellow until you move. It doesn't help that unlike 1 or Rise of, trees or plants you use to interact with for crafting items REALLY blend into a jungle.
There's even an upgrade to make the glow last a few secs long after you leave survival view, as well as a craftable consumable to ALSO highlight world objects in white for a minute. I rather the objects had some different way to distinguish themselves from the world better.

Shadow of The Tomb Raider Disappearing Glitch







After clocking an hour of gameplay in the latest Tomb Raider game, I manage to get this cool glitch from messing around the camera during a ledge spot that I don't think I need to use at the time correctly.
