This game is eh for me. It's more of an open world game compared to the reboot, so if that's what you want, and it seems most people do, you'll like it. If you're not just beelining the story, it takes a long time walking back, and forth, and back, and forth, in rather uninteresting areas to collect everything. For the sheer size of the maps, there's only 9 mini quests and one involves the optional tombs you'll likely be visiting regardless. There's a lot of combat... A lot. Not with wildlife like in the original series, but with soldiers... It's not very interesting. The tombs are better in this one compared to the reboot Tomb Raider, but still pretty short. Only 1 puzzle to be solved for each then you're done. Overall, it's kinda fun I guess but it feels more like a chore than a game. If you're into that kind of thing you might like it.

Forgot my biggest pet peeve, these big battles with 10+ guys at once and instead of being able to loot them you're taken to a completely different area... Why. Couldn't make it so you have to move to a checkpoint to trigger the cutscenes, it's when you kill the final guy and you never know if it is the final guy, and cutscenes trigger. It's not cinematic, it's annoying. Let me loot, dammit.

Edit: Finished the game and it was incredibly underwhelming.
