A small step up from its predecessor both in terms of gameplay and story; Lara definitely feels like a more well-rounded character this time. Still didn't impress me quite enough to raise the score to four stars but it's still a fun time. This is the bigger and better sequel the first game deserved.

Also...really, Crystal Dynamics? The first game has our hero stranded in a jungle and the second is a more personal story set in the snowy mountains? It's like you want me to constantly think of Uncharted. If the third game is set in the desert I'm gonna lose my shit.
