The gameplay is pretty fun tbh, it’s obviously inspired by Uncharted but it has extra points of progression with the perks and weapon unlocks.
However the lack of substantial or interesting tombs in “Tomb Raider” is pretty dumb. The majority of tombs are optional are extremely simple puzzle wise. The vast majority of the main story is just combat and climbing.
I would normally give this game a higher rating if the story wasn’t so painfully boring and uninspired. Lara Croft’s character is really Mary Sue-ish and has nothing that makes her stand out compared to her original character or in general compared to someone like Nathan Drake. The rest of the cast is really generic and tropey as well.
The theme of the island being that a storm controlled by a goddess keeps people from leaving so they establish their own society is pretty cool but in execution it’s really trite.
It’s still a pretty enjoyable experience though. I just stopped caring about the story when I started to see what kind of story it was going to be.
I get wanting to make Lara have a more serious side and show a more gritty, grounded approach to her character but she has no personality in this game besides helping people I guess.
Lara’s character assassination is like a less cringy and slightly less offensive version of what happened to Jill Valentine in the RE3 Remake.
The game is fun tho lol
