The verdict
A polished, linear Tomb Raider/Uncharted-style prequel with stunning visuals, music and light puzzles. Skip it if you want rats, stealth or the emotional punch of the first two games.
Great for
Fans of linear Uncharted/Tomb Raider adventures who value visuals, music and story over deep combat
Main risk
Repetitive light puzzles and simple combat, plus a story that doesn't match the earlier games' emotional weight
