New page

There are multiple '''Difficulty and Accessibility''' Settings in [[Shadow of the Tomb Raider]]. These can be used to customize the game.

== Accessibility ==
These settings are intended to help people with disabilities play the game.

=== Video and Gameplay ===
* Optional Y axis inversion
* Toggling vibration on and off
* Reducing Camera Shake
* Option to centre the camera horizontally
: This soft locks the camera on [[Lara Croft (Reboot)|Lara]]’s back; only one of the analogue sticks required (for movement), while the other stick can still be used to move the camera if desired
* Option to tap rather than hold the left trigger for aiming
* Option to switch between the right (default) or left stick for aiming when looking down sights
* Option to hold button press prompts rather than repeated tapping
* Option to push the stick directionally for crank control prompts rather than rotate
* Adjustable aim sensitivity

=== Audio Accessibility ===
* Subtitles: Off, on with colour, or on without colour
* Closed Captioning: Display additional or interpretive information such as sound effects, musical cues, and other relevant audio information

== Difficulty ==
The difficulty of the game can be changed during gameplay independently for '''puzzles''', '''traversal''', and '''combat'''. This is accomplished by four unique settings: '''Easy''', '''Normal''', '''Hard''', and '''Deadly Obsession'''. This way it is e.g. possible to set puzzles to hard, combat to easy, and traversal to deadly, which makes for a unique difficulty for each player, instead of only having three or four options that affect all areas of the game.

[[Survival Instincts]] can be used for finding e.g. the next objective, interesting location features, or enemies. Additionally [[Beacon]] (showing the next objective location) and [[Glow]] (showing interactable objects) can be toggled on or off regardless of difficulty settings - except for the Deadly Obsession setting.

=== Combat ===

:* Enemies have lower health and do less damage
:* Ammunition boxes are plentiful
:* Enemies have illuminated silhouettes

=== Exploration ===

:* Longer saving grab timer

* Deadly Obsession

=== Puzzles ===
* Easy

:* Interactable objects are highlighted in Survival Instincts
:* Objects necessary to progress highlighted in blue during Survival Instincts
:* Longer window of opportunity for timed mechanics

+There are four presets where all aspects of the game are set to one level of difficulty: '''Smart and Resourceful''' (easy), '''Rite of Passage''' (normal), '''One with the Jungle''' (hard), and '''Deadly Obsession''' (very hard). This is comparable to the way difficulty works in the previous games.
