This game is almost always on sale and is worth getting. I just don't like how the game takes away your weapons a lot. If anyone wants a copy I will gift it whenever it goes on sale.

I happened to be visiting Peru in real life as I was in the middle of playing this game, and I can tell you this - do not wear shorts in the jungle. All I gotta say about that!

9/10. It's a fun game, the exploration and combat mechanics are the best from the 3. The levels are pretty cool and the puzzles and tombs are very well done. Lara is an awful protagonist, though. She is selfish, whiny and obtuse and she has actually regressed from the previous games. She has no relevant character arc and her making knee-jerk decisions is the cuase of like 90% of the problems she has to solve. Even Jonah lost his cool with her on this one. The internal logic of the game is also pretty bad (from a caucasian lady with a heavy british accent passing as a local figure just because she is using a costume is actually hilarious - also, for a Village with little contact with the outside in the middle of nowhere, a LOT of people just speak english pretty fuently, huh?), so calibrate your suspension of disbelief accordingly.

It's very Tomb Raider. It's very video gamey. It's very jungle. It's very pretty. It's very big. It's also inconsistent and buggy. I enjoyed it a lot.
