Speaking of, when you really did have to get in close, like at the end, the distraction skill was a bit wonky. I would've liked if it auto-locked on the nearest enemy as opposed to the direction you were facing/scrambling to, because it's a reasonable assumption that you're going to be moving AWAY from the heavily armored dude with the giant sharp stick instead of TOWARD him.

That Version of Lara Croft has to got to be my favorite now, plus the accent~

But yea in terms of gameplay it was a bit iffy here and there, I found the hunting aspect really, really useless later on. Story and how it was done was really cool.

Yes, the one with the Jennifer Lawrence-esque Lara instead of the version that was once portrayed by Angelina Jolie.

The story was pretty standard Hero's Journey type stuff and you could see everything coming a mile away if you're even remotely familiar with how these types of plots go- but it was still very enjoyably done.

The bow was so OP once you got the right skills and upgrades that the only real shortcoming I found was against large numbers of enemies at once- but then I got the explosive arrows and that more or less rectified the problem.
