They really looked at their action-adventure video game and said "Okay but what if it was Gone Home?" and I love that so much. I'm not a Tomb Raider lorehead but this was still fun to run through. I think the writing itself is not 100% there but it's still a well-paced lil story about the Croft family.
It's.. interesting that this seems like a move to try and separate Lara Croft from her family's wealth and history... but also not too much. It really reminds me of of the 2018 Tomb Raider movie where Lara starts off trying to distance herself from her wealthy, privileged life (which I think is cool and they should've committed to) but then at the end she just accepts it anyway. If Tomb Raider gets rebooted again or something, I wish they'd just do away with the whole "hyper-rich family of Egyptologists" because it just comes with way too much baggage.
