A complicated, sophisticated, and education experience, though not for the faint of heart.

(SPOILER WARNING)

Graphics - 10/10
A stunningly gorgeous game, really takes advantage of the murky jungle. Almost impossible to see anything should you venture out into the jungle, but this only adds to the immersion

Story - 10/10
The game seems rather open ended, and despite a short paragraph at the beginning describing why you are here, there does not appear to be much. However, after raiding some low level bandit camps, you discover you can open a hut that contains lara, which is one of the best twists in modern gaming - that this game is actually in the tomb raider series.

Gameplay - 9/10
The intuitive system to load arrows is difficult to understand at first, but makes sense the more you play. You do not use arrows from your inventory - rather, you load them from your inventory into a sort of "quiver", and from there you can fire them. there are many shotgun shells around, but [im dumb there is a shotgun]
All in all, this game pays a brilliant homage to its predecessors, specifically the tomb raider series to which it is a sequel, and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, to which it is a spiritual successor. as a fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, I could not wait another few years for that teased new game, so for this to come out and so accurately recreate that feeling of terror from such classics as call of pripyat was a breath of fresh air.

FINAL SCORE - 10/10, I was incorrect about my inital assumption that there was no shotgun, in fact this game contains more depth that i could have ever imagined. as this is the case, i give it a perfect score, and humbly bow myself to the developer who basically updated the game to fix all the issues i had with it. namaste game gamers.
