A dark and brutal tale of a lone survivor.
This is a fascinating Tomb Raider origin story, even though I was never really interested in these games, I now consider myself a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise.
The gameplay is great, many tools to use and weaponry to unlock, combat is fast and fluid, climbing is fun and the puzzles are decent.
The Tombs are cool for the most part but unfortunately there aren't many of them. However, there are some open world elements, you can explore the island for secrets and collectibles, which I enjoyed.
Now the plot, it's just mediocre. It has some fantastic action-oriented moments, but for most of the time I didn't find myself attached to the story or the characters, and I didn't like the main villain.
Also there are way too many Quick Time Events, and combined with the linear main story, there's no replay-ability, some sections are straight up exhausting to go through.
Lara Croft carries this game, she is an exceptional female protagonist and goes though some messed up things, and she's easily the highlight of the game.
Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.
