It's good but it's less Tomb Raider and more just a glum Uncharted. Lara is inconsolable after killing someone for the first time, and then four minutes later she's Arnie at the end of Commando gunning down hundreds of nameless goons. Fun swashbuckling action when it stops being moody.
I played this mostly around 2020 and finished the last hour of the game in 2021. So technically this should be on the 2020 list but it's not. Doesn't change how I feel about it or anything, just wanted to point that out.
This game is basically Uncharted if it was on a larger scale, had a darker story, and had more of a survival aspect to it. I think the open-world was a really cool aspect of the game. Randomly running into enemies and wildlife that you can kill while exploring did keep the game engaging. I do like how it gatekeeps tools until later on in the story so the traversal always has something fresh to it. This is the only game in the entire trilogy where the combat is enjoyable. It kept things balanced and never made Lara too OP. I also think the story here is pretty serviceable. I didn't really care about half the characters because they get killed off before you get to properly know them, but I did find a couple characters to be pretty cool, especially due to the impact they have on Lara and her story. I really like the fact that this is an origin story for Lara and how this story serves to explain the reason why she continues to go on to do more life-threatening expeditions after this one. I think the villains also deserve a shoutout. Not only did I find them to be well-written, but the supernatural enemies really delivered on giving this game a darker, almost horror-like vibe. I really like this game's aesthetic. The tombs were also fun and well-crafted. There isn't any other side content to do outside of the tombs though. I revisited it recently and it feels like there is nothing to do outside of collectible hunting once all the tombs are completed, which isn't the worst thing in the world, but I just wanted to point that out. All in all, not everything about it was the best, but it was still a thrilling, solid adventure through and through. I'd recommend this one over the sequels.

I've always loved this game, and the definitive edition has made it even better! Yes, it's arguably a re-skinned Uncharted in terms of the gameplay, but it's still a fantastic game. An exciting, mysterious story that I think works beautifully as an origin story for Lara truly becoming the 'Tomb Raider'. It's got solid gameplay, beautiful visuals and it's an all round super fun time.
