I thought the game was super fun, but the story is fucking awful, and not in a "video game stories don't matter and are mostly bad anyway" kind of awful, awful in the just straight up bad writing kind of awful. The characters were fun, though. That doesn't matter, though, because what's actually important is the gameplay itself is kinda shit. The platforming is basically proto-Uncharted, though satisfying. The puzzles, on the other hand, are all very braindead simple. Literally kindergarten tier shit. I found classic Tomb Raider to be cryptic at times, but at least it required you to explore and be a little coordinated. Most of this game is just physics puzzles. Also, the driving sections really wear out their welcome. It's a solid, SOLID 5/10 game. Literally middle of the road, the only way you'd like it is if you like Lara and just want more of her. To anyone else, this game is completely mediocre in every sense of the word. The only improvement is the shooting.

Egypt filtered me. TR1 is so goddamn long, by that point, it just gets kind of boring. The platforming is incredibly fun, though. I bought the remastered collection on sale last month, but haven't played it. I might do a replay of it and actually finish it this time, and I might just use the cheat code for all the weapons because FUCK the combat in this game. It can go do an acrobatic pirouette off an overpass.
