Environments are large, enormously detailed at times and although raiding tombs is relegated to side quests, they do exist if you go looking for them. But it's one of many deliberately harder-hitting scenes where we see Lara barely survive a movie-like near-death, all-action experience, from which we're left to derive, "Ah, that's why she's so tough in later games".Īction aside, progression through the game is highly scripted but well paced linear in storyline but rewarding to those who want to look around before advancing forward. Whether that's a criticism of storytelling or simply a writer's way of saying Lara had to learn to be tough fast, is up to you, the player, to decide. But within the next five minutes she's killed another dozen men and doesn't seem to bat an eyelid. Is she going to vomit? She's definitely going to cry. It's graphic, it's a little disturbing and, fittingly, Lara is devastated. Lara's strength to push it an inch, then another inch, then another, until the barrel of the gun is aimed close enough to her assailant's face, is just enough that she's able to put a bullet through his head and blow part of his skull off. One of the most intriguing chapters is the one in which Lara makes the first kill of her life. It's not a deep story, but it is a good one.
