Lara comes back one more time, and this time the community does not follow.

On gut instinct, with no criterion, the verdict is blunt: the game only edges past 7% of the others. That is low. Really low. The detail confirms it without much nuance. Attachment at the very bottom, art style too, the wish to rediscover it near the floor. Two lines stay afloat: the soundtrack, mid pack, and the feel with a controller in hand, modest but better than the rest, on few votes. The tension is quiet: what still stands is the platforming machinery and the music, not the memory.

Against the Tomb Raiders that came before, the issue is well known: fifth entry, same engine, worn formula, a series starting to circle itself. Criteria built for today's emotion and aesthetics show no mercy to a game that already felt like a rerun on release.

So who is it for? For you if you love the puzzles, the tombs and the very rigid skeleton of the original Tomb Raiders, right down to their last twitch. Much less so if you want to discover the series, start somewhere else.
