Absolutely Solid
I had almost no experience with the series prior to this - watching a friend adjust the camera to get the best shot of the goods in a demo on one of those Playstation Underground discs doesn't really count - and this made a very good first impression. I usually don't like Third-Person Shooters, because the controls never feel like they were programmed by a sane person, but these work very well. I can't aim very well with a gamepad, but using WASD to control Lara in a 3-dimensional environment with complex platforming puzzles was much easier than I could've hoped! What starts out as a series of quick-time events and a lot of spectacle over substance gradually gives way to a very solid experience. You have experience, but instead of just gaining it from killing enemies, you also build up from solving puzzles and finding artifacts; they remembered that she's a badass action heroine, but an archeologist, first and foremost. Finding relics was neat, too, because she'd give some historical context, and you could inspect them, sometimes finding additional information. Experience is used to learn different skills, and though you'll have them all by the end, you have a chance at some customization until you get there. You also salvage scrap, which can be used to add parts onto your weapons to enhance performance; though you only have 4 weapons, they're all fun to use and build. That said, I killed most of my adversaries with archery, because it works very well; yes, I was a basic bow. Combat isn't super common, but it often unfolds something like a puzzle; there are plenty of solutions, often involving environmental elements. Puzzles can be challenging at times, but only once did I need to consult a walkthrough, because there was a thing I didn't even know I could do, and it was never explained; everything else was pretty intuitive.
