A surprising lack of tomb raiding for the bulk of the game.

Obviously there’s still a bunch of climbin’ around and trippin’ off ledges, but also way more auto aim combat. If for some reason you play Tomb Raider for the combat, this game is for you, but almost every area had at least one very boring level. I appreciate most of the additions, including vehicles and ziplines, but as a whole I’m more of a Tomb Raider I guy.

My playthrough had occasionally buggy lighting in the classic mode, but worked flawlessly in the modern graphics style. I think this game lends itself better to the new art better than the previous one. I’d still recommend this, as it maintains the careful platforming gameplay and beautifully solitary atmosphere of the first game, even if it is significantly more tedious in the middle.
