I really like this game. It’s very different from the pre-reboot Tomb Raider games, don’t get me wrong, taking on an Uncharted-like, cinematic vibe, but it’s still incredibly good. The story’s somewhat basic, but I find it works, the open world is good and has collectables that feel worthwhile but aren’t too overwhelming, the combat’s basic in some ways but works very well, and the setting is really atmospheric and surprisingly varied, for taking place on only a single island. And I know it’s a controversial topic in some parts of the internet, but I really like this game’s version of Lara; she’s sympathetic and likeable, even if some of her arc feels a bit rushed. Overall, one I definitely recommend.
