You can control Lara to explore the surroundings, & fight against rivals with weapons & stealth.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Gameplay:

Play this game from third person perspective where you take the role of Lara Croft as she explores location across the continent of South America. Now you can explore the game’s hub which is the largest in the Tomb Raider series & which also includes the hidden city of Paititi. You can engage in side missions while advancing through the main story campaign & learn about Paititi which offers a wider experience. Trade your resources using a new barter system, retrieve items & weapons from the environment. The game has changed a lot & there are new changes introduced which makes it different from Rise of the Tomb Raider. You can now hold your breath while swimming underwater. Lara possesses a new ability to move down a cliff using a rope. Use stealth throughout the game, which allows you to disengage from fight when you escape from foes without getting their attention. Eidos Montreal has added new combat features in this game including swimming & grappling.

Rise of the Tomb Raiders is focused on how Lara learns to explore the environment & the sequel is focused on how she masters her skills. Now you can play with an advanced form of Lara. Becoming the Tomb Raider means becoming more responsible with the use of archaeology. This game is about mastering the archaeology which is culture, history & language, & it involves people. Face the consequences in the form of destruction which will happen when you claim a key artefact.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider copies the solid combat system from earlier games with new extra techniques, however, in previous games the enemies you fought were far too bland. The developers kick out the boring mercenaries & include enemies actually worth combating. They have improved the combat as some fans had suggested to upgrade the melee combat system.
