Despite Tomb Raider 13 not being overtly open world, it's the kind of game you can just get lost in. Especially when you revisit old locations, with new ways to move around, turning the familiar into something new and exciting.

I'm only about a quarter of the way through, but I am absolutely LOVING this game and it's only gonna get better now I've unlocked melee, something the game has sorely needed and I'm starting to get better versions of my weapons.

Only real frustration now comes from the far spread of the checkpoints, exploration can leave you punished when one mistake lands you right at the start and the start being very far away. Plus, I guess because they aren't part of the main game, the platforming and puzzle solving in the Hidden Tombs is a lot harder than found in the core game and as such it becomes very frustrating and something I get stuck on for a while.
