    I really enjoyed Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider so am looking forward to this new one as well.

    I dig these new games' darker, "gritty/realistic" take on Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider world, even as tired and overused as that can be these days. They were both far from perfect and had some issues though. I am not a fan of quicktime events, even "cinematic" style ones, and the levels got a bit repetitive especially towards the later parts of the game. However since the exploration, stealth and combat mechanics were solid, enjoyable and satisfying, I didn't really mind the repetition so much.

    Here's hoping this 3rd one is more of the same with a bit more refinement, as the 2nd was to the 1st.

      Yeah, I've always had a hard time getting into the Super Rich Hero type, but Lara Croft is one of those exceptions these days.
