In short:
Clunky combat, climbing, movement and progression

PROS:
+ Graphics. Despite some color flickering around the crosshair I would say the game has decent graphics.
+ A good idea. We lack great adventure games with sweet graphics and experience beautiful landscapes.
+ Puzzles are great, I would like more digging in texts about mythology and old cultures but this is fine really.
+ Story not worse than any other AAA game, but I did expect more

CONS:
- Clunky movement and climbing, The climbing in this game was so annoying and I had a really hard time to appreciate it. Equipment, tools and techniques that Laura has to perform the climbing can only be used in the exactly correct spot. I.e. the zip line, it can only be deployed when you need the zip line, witch makes it boring when trying to find a way to climb. Laura s ability to jump also varies a lot between scenes. In some hot pursuit she can jump like 4 meters up in the air, swing and fall down again. But when climbing a puzzle she is instead extremely bad at climbing not able to reach a target a meter away because you where not standing in the exact correct place to perform that jump.
(When talking about the zipline that is used a lot, do not make it come out of here stomach, that must hurt a lot! It is not ok design!)

- Combat, You may think else wise but personally I don't like fighting bullet sponges presented in this game, just frustrating. But most of the game it is more about stealth combat. And the game will force you to do that, like every game out there, somewhere in the story you will lose the gear and go predator with a knife. But when you have taken down a target and not being able to pick up that gun, (we know that she knows how to use it)that is frustrating to me at least. I'm fine with enforced stealth, I like stealth. But this is the wrong way to do it. Why would she leave an assault rifle on the ground like that.

- Progression, Upgrade weapons and acquire new skills. I found no interest in the upgrades presented in this game, no need either, so I did not bother to upgrade stuff at all. May increase the campaign time some, but I did not stop and hunt animals one single time.

- The dialogs was mostly awkward
