This is the second game of the trilogy reboot by Square Enix.
Coming from the 2013 game it's a pretty good improvement overall: the graphics are stunning, especially Lara looks amazing (not in a completely good way since she looks way better than the NPCs lmao).
The story is more intimate and touching, with Lara wanting to re-gain his father's honor and dignity on his behalf.
The plot itself though is a perfect carbon copy of its predecessor, just with a different setting, being Siberian steppe instead of Yamatai island. The characters do not develop at all, and Lara has matured since the last game, which makes sense, but during the game there's no development, she does not grow nor mature at all. Not a really big negative, the game is still enjoyable, but still...
Would have been a very solid sequel if it wasn't for the utterly copied storyline.
