Finally finished the last half of Rise of the Tomb Raider, since I really lost steam last time I tried playing it. Overall, it's almost like the first one. They're decent, but somehow they manage to keep me from caring about anything resembling story and characters. Plus, there's so much combat. I much prefer exploration and puzzles.
I started Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and so far it seems to tick the right boxes. In that, according to the save file, it says I'm 11% complete, and haven't had any firefights at all. Only tombs and exploration. Nice. I hope it keeps it like this, and they're more the exception than the rule. Which from what I hear from others, it seems like it might be.
Also just like Rise, Shadow is looking fantastic graphically. They really came into their own in terms of how these games look. I wonder how the UE5 version of Tomb Raider will look. I also hope that will also be a sort of a reboot, and they do something about Lara and the rest of the characters, to make them more compelling. I can see some traces of humanity, in Shadow, but still nothing as close to what I'd wish for. I just hope they do something to stir the pot in terms of story and characters. I hope they have someone with a strong vision as to how the next Tomb Raider will be.
