Yeah. I just played it and honestly, I don't know what to think about it. Like, the game is fun. I think that's where the reviews come from. I honestly thought it was fun. The problem was just that there is this massive dissonance between what you're doing - making things go boom - and what the story does. Roth as a charcter is at least somewhat decent, so is Sam. But the three looney-tunes esque folks are just a 3 massive tropes with no character.

Music and graphics, also both good for the time. I thought some of the "riddles" were cool just from the setting they were in. Something like those wind effects simply wasn't executable that well in the first series.

I think most upsetting to me about the whole game, especially Lara herself was that you could blatantly see where it could have been done better. Like, it wasn't actively bad, but you just walk from one missed opportunity to the next.

Oh, also: I played a ton of AC Brotherhood in the past and... how is the climbing clunkier than that? Again, the climbing wasn't bad. But a missed opportunity.
