This is the first Tomb Raider game I've ever played, I didn't play the classic ones, haven't played the first Tomb Raider reboot yet and had no idea what this game was. Okay maybe this is more of my impression playing my first Tomb Raider game rather than a review. But anyway. You know Lara is pretty and all and that's prolly one of my reasons I bought this game and once i got into the story and tried to learn and enjoy every aspect in the game I feel like this is my one of the best games in years.
Basically Lara is just continuing her father's research with her persistence and unbreakable resolve to find an artifact that her dad was after. Throughout the journey we have to solve puzzles that we encountered and they're very interesting. The combat is so-so, just like any other games, but what makes me not feeling bored is the adventure. You see, the world of Tomb Raider is a world full of challenges and puzzles. No wonder I even finished 100% completion.
But there's one more thing that I truly enjoyed and become my favorite part of the game, is that the Croft Manor - Blood Ties story mode. Even tho you wouldn't be adventuring like the main story but you'll get a chance to know the relationship between Lara and her parents, the Croft's legacy and all stories that have happened in the Croft Manor.
Me myself had no lore of any Tomb Raider's background story whatsoever, but this game had me covered.

note : you have to read all the documents to really understand with the story, like I did, lol. I know I spent a lot of time reading those stuff.
worth the $$$
