Gave it a shot when it came to Game Pass. I thought its generally positive reputation meant that surely it wasn't as gruesome and cruel to Lara as I remembered hearing it was back when it came out.

Uhhhhh, yeah, no, it's that gruesome. Made it maaaaaybe 30 minutes in before I quit and uninstalled it. Opening with a sequence so creepily fixated on every second of Lara's agony was a Decision, and one that gave me zero faith that anything after that would be worth experiencing.
