First of all, I'd like to say that I had a lot of fun with the 2013 version, and even though it's not an Uncharted, I enjoy these kinds of games. But unfortunately, the 2016 version has turned into some sort of Ubisoft game where we can only use the gameplay mechanics that were already in the 2013 one by leveling up. Of course, one of the things you expect from a Tomb Raider game is puzzles; normally, the PS1 versions are quite creative works of art in this regard. But unfortunately, in today's money-hungry climate, due to the Brazilian invasion of this beautiful industry, it's hard to find the quality of those times.
Its story is cliché and utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It has turned into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid production that goes, "Oh my god, no, these bad things happened because of me, I have to fix them." But when these cliché stories are handled well—to give an example, well, of course, even though it's very different as a game, considering that writing a story is done with a keyboard for both of them, Heavy Rain becomes a beautiful work of art. But failing to even manage the plot, and when compared to the old game, it is a really huge downgrade. I don't think Lara Croft's family troubles are generally the main focus of this series. And as for the struggle with Trinity, in the meantime, oh before I forget, look, your Dad is sad and stuff, how terrible. Oh, and there is a betrayal, ahhh plot twist, the character you would absolutely never guess is actually the prophet, how surprising.
Oh, and at the end, I don't want to give spoilers, but they end the story in a really absurd way when there is absolutely no need for it. Of course, by ending, I mean it's cliché; in a cutscene after the credits, they pave the way for the next game again anyway. The announcement of Atlantis in the news isn't very surprising either. But we spend most of the game climbing, the combat mechanics are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and fighting immortal soldiers is also very ridiculous.
So, I wouldn't recommend you play this game, but in my opinion, if you're going to play it, buy it on sale; it's not worth 40 euros. And also, download the nudity mod from the mods, it makes it more bearable. Normally I was going to give it a 3 out of 10, but purely because of the beauty of the mod, I am giving it a 6.
Ps: Seriously, do not play it without the mod.
