Overview

Shadow of the Tomb Raider - The Grand Caiman [ESRB]

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s new DLC, a ferocious deity threatens the lives of innocent San Juan villagers. To save them, Lara will battle a deadly group of mercenaries in order to prevent a cataclysmic disaster. Solve the new volcanic challenge tomb and reap its powerful rewards. Survive the latest DLC with the Reptile Hide outfit, which heightens resistance against projectiles and boosts XP gained from assault kills. Players can also equip the Whispering Scourge, a suppressed shotgun, as well as the Volcano skill that enables crafting incendiary shotgun ammo, which sets flammable objects and most enemies ablaze. All tombs from the main campaign are all now playable in Score Attack and Time Attack mode.

Reception

With another platforming and puzzle area to tackle before the main tomb itself, this could have been something that topped maybe all of the previous DLCs for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Instead, The Grand Caiman is over too quickly, despite the decent tomb embedded in the volcano.

The Grand Caiman is possibly the best DLC that Shadow of the Tomb Raider has received so far, but this doesn't mean it's great. The story is quite simple, although the tomb is interesting.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Grand Caiman is a weaker expansion upon the core campaign that doesn’t matter in the overall narrative.

The Grand Caiman DLC contains a visually impressive challenge tomb with a decent amount of difficulty.
