Bigger and better paced than the 2013 reboot: tombs are more numerous and more elaborate, and the crafting and hunting loops give the hub areas a reason to exist. Traversal is excellent. The story is forgettable and the survival framing sits awkwardly beside a protagonist who kills dozens of people without comment.
