The Shadow of the Tomb Raider – The Forge marks the first of seven DLC expansions for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, adding a new challenge tomb with puzzle-focused gameplay. The Forge provides a solid experience, especially for players who enjoy problem-solving. While it introduces puzzles and co-op play, the overall playtime is relatively short, so some players may finish it quickly.

Team up or go solo

The Forge’s challenge tomb can be completed solo or in cooperative mode, letting two players work together to solve puzzles. Completing the tomb unlocks the Grenadier skill, the Brocken outfit, and the Umbrage 3-80 weapon. Replayability is supported through Score Attack and Time Attack modes, giving players reasons to return and improve their scores.

A short but rewarding adventure

As the first of seven planned DLCs, The Shadow of the Tomb Raider – The Forge is a short but rewarding adventure for puzzle fans. The co-op option and replay modes add variety, while the skill, outfit, and weapon provide useful in-game rewards.
