Spoilers, but it's not like they'd ruin the "fun".

Within the first hour of the game Lara:
- barely survives a plane crash
- falls a couple of meters onto a metal rod which pierces through her torso
- almost gets hypothermia
- steps into a bear trap
- passes out from exhaustion several times
- gets bitten by wild animals
- almost gets raped
And that's just the scripted parts. On top of that there many, MANY over the top violent death scenes, which are directed in a way that truly makes you wonder if you're playing a video game or watching torture porn. I get that the studio might've wanted to make the game more mature, as of course the original Tomb Raided games were famously advertised towards children, but this is just disgusting and it doesn't stop up until the end of the game.

The premise makes zero fucking sense and so does most of the script. The game does however write the main cast in a very good way, with camera recordings from their journey, which build up their character and the player's possible connection to them. The entire cast is so likable, that they had to kill half of it to show off how mature the game is, almost always in the most obvious way, including a pathetic goodbye moment. On a side note, I didn't like Lara's VA that much, but the rest were alright. The villain was pretty cool, more or less up until the end where it's just blatantly obvious that Lara is in the wrong and not him, so the game makes you kill him in the most pathetic "boss fight" I've seen in years (all fucking QTE-based).

The gameplay is about what you'd expect from a third-person shooter. You get 4 ranged weapons, which I think is just the right amount. They co-exist very nicely and the upgrades do bring some variety to it. There's a lot of climbing involved - think Uncharted + Rayman 2, with some more player input through QTE's, also meant to bring some excitement into the equation. The physics in this game though is closer to magic - during many of the action or puzzle sequences I just laughed out loud at how dumb they were, or how unbelievably everything went down.

Overall I can't say I had a completely bad time with the game, but I definitely wouldn't call it good. In my eyes, it's a bad game, but a fairly competent blockbuster. It's the type of game your dad would play after 8 hours of work and call it the greatest gaming experience of his life upon finishing it. Take that as you will.
