So, the third chapter is here. It will probably be some time before the next game in the series is made, so this one have to be good, right? Well, let me elaborate on this a bit. I must admit i had a lot of fun with this chapter, though for some reason i preferred the previous games. It has a bigger story but not that much better. The gameplay is similar to the previous games with some additions. There is a lot of collectibles if You like that sort of time filler, more than before. There are also many side missions and tombs - unfortunately they added - or removed and then added - around 6 hours of side missions and tombs to the season pass - you do miss a sizeable amount of content without it. Let me point out both the negatives and positives:

THE GOOD

- The story is longer and pretty well made;
- A good amount of side missions;
- Lots of collectibles (and i mean a lot);
- Lots of skills to choose;
- Many weapons and outfits;
- Jungle feels really alive;
- Graphics look good;
- Wasn't bored playing till the end;
- Many plot twists;
- Attention to detail;
- More exploration and less combat (which feels right somehow in a Tomb Raider game);
- Well positioned checkpoints if you die so not much backtracking.

THE NOT SO GOOD

- Somehow i liked the previous games stories better;
- Not too well optimized - ok in the jungle, but expect choppy performance in areas with lots of people;
- Many skills have to do with combat - not that much of it in the game;
- Many weapons differ in looks but are similar in stats - especially bows;
- Many outfits differ in looks but some give identical bonuses;
- Many areas require a lot of climbing and jumping - sometimes you need to time it right or you die and the camera position doesn't always help;
- Game sometimes takes a bit to load - especially areas with lots of people;
- Around 6 hours of cut (or later added) content - better get the season pass too or miss out on a number of story missions and tombs which are pretty good (difficult though).

So, to sum up - i did enjoy the game but after the previous chapters i expected something extraordinary and got only an "ok" game. You will enjoy it if You liked the previous games but the price is high - wait for a 50% discount - i wouldn't pay more. And get the season pass - You will miss 7 tombs and missions - one even takes place after the main story (not nice developers, not nice). Enjoy the game and thank You for reading:)

Good job on your Deus Ex achievements. I'm going for my best playthrough: no killing, no alarms plus trying the new boss strategies.
