One of the few instances of a reboot surpassing the original.
Really good character development and a good story that combines realism and survival instincts with supernatural elements.
It really gives a real sense of danger, being stranded on some (almost) deserted island on the coast of Japan fighting just to survive from the dangers of nature, the island and some crazy cult, which all adds to the immersion of the game.
Also, it is a perfect origins story, we literally see Lara go from being a scared young woman terrified to even shoot someone to being the badass Lara Croft we all know and love, fearless in the face of danger and ready to take charge.
Don't get me started on the weapon customization too, no old Tomb Raider game had weapon customization anywhere close to the level of the new game's system
Also reboot Lara best Lara. Step on me, please.
