The controls are indeed very annoying, so finishing it can be a bit challenging, but I still think it's a good game. I love the soundtrack, the dark urban fantasy/gothic aesthetics - just the vibes of the game in general. It's the darkest tomb raider game and some parts of it are actually creepy. I LOVE Lara's personality in this game, she's very cool and badass but still a likeable character because she's not cold and emotionless, just a serious girl with no time for games. I love her sharp tounge above it all, lmao. I also love her fashion, like her outfits? she's serving the entire game (especially her denim jeans outfit, love that one so much, literally peak fashion!!). The story is also interesting and it has a lot of potential to be even better, but unfortunately, when you play this game it's impossible to not notice the amount of things they've cut in the final version. I truly believe it would be one of the best games I've ever played if they had the opportunity to include all the ideas they had, all the lore, game mechanics, phases, etc. Let's hope it gets a remake one day and we can see all of that. Even with all the downsides, I'd still recommend this game. You'll probably need to download a mod to make it more playable since the gameplay actually sucks, but if you can ignore that, it's a fun time.
