given its deadline and rushed development, the flaws are truly noticeable. i'll give a few examples:
- loading times are unbearable
- controls are very messy
- you barely explore tombs except towards the end
- unnecessary stealth mechanic
- introduction of lara's romance which imo didnt feel right
- dialogue interactions were confusing
and tons more, however, even tho that may be the case, its a great game. the graphics shine the best here and given it was a new direction for tomb raider, i'd say it was still enjoyable nonetheless.
