Lara Croft explores a new environment in Shadow Of The Tomb Raider after accidentally triggering a Mayan apocalypse. — AFP Relaxnews
Mayan adventure Shadow Of The Tomb Raider vaults to number one in the Steam chart, Assetto Corsa Competizione layers a GT3 license atop its predecessor's meticulous racing simulation, and atmospheric adventure Lamplight City immerses players in an alternative 19th-century mystery.
Concluding a prequel trilogy and introducing a lavish lost city to explore, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider takes players into an Amazonian jungle as fans take the Sept 14 release to the top of the Steam chart and to fourth place on GamersGate.
On Steam's revenue-derived ranking, the latest Lara Croft action adventure outpaces ever-present PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, equally well known as PUBG on mobile platforms, as well as recent tour de force Monster Hunter: World, current PUBG challenger SCUM, and official US basketball sim NBA 2K19 (which makes it to fifth despite a barracking over aggressive reliance on post-retail payments).
Elsewhere, 2013's dedicated driving sim Assetto Corsa welcomes its successor Assetto Corsa Competizione, which integrates an official license from the FIA's Blancpain GT3 championship and has so far been very well received following a Sept 12 Early Access rollout; it reaches second on GamersGate and is kept out of the Steam top five by the rather poorly recieved but much higher profile NBA 2K19.
On GOG, Lamplight City makes its bow at the peak of the store's chart, as players meander through its collection of crime mysteries and, they hope, accuse the correct suspects while keeping the lead detective's sanity (and marriage) intact.
