Best PS4 Games to Have on Your Radar In September 2018
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
The rebooted Tomb Raider games have created a new vision for the series in recent years, and have been some of the best experiences the series has ever given us. Despite moving to a new developer, Eidos Montreal who developed Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Shadow of the Tomb Raider looks to once again deliver and expand on what the first two games did.
The game’s hub area of Paititi is the largest the series has ever seen, and you can take on sidequests and find secrets to learn more about Paititia and its inhabitants. One of the biggest changes is how swimming has been completely revised, allowing for some massive underwater exploration areas. At the same time, there’s a larger emphasis on stealth, allowing you to escape enemies after you’ve been spotted and go back to using stealth if you don’t want to go in guns blazing.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider takes place two months after Rise of the Tomb Raider, and it has Lara traveling to Latin America to search for a long-lost Mayan relic. Shadow promises to be the darkest of the rebooted trilogy yet, as Lara has to save the world from an impending apocalypse that was inadvertently set off during her expedition for the relic.
