I loved Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise Of The Tomb Raider. This one however is extremely boring. I haven't beaten it just yet, but I have roughly 9 hours played and I can barely bring myself to play through anymore.

The graphics are incredible, some of the best I've seen my PC produce. It is also very well optimized for PC.

The gameplay however is where it falls apart. There is plently of cutscenes about a story that's incredibly boring, climbing over and over, squeezing through tight spaces, and swimming. All of these things require either holding down forward with maybe a few space bars and mouse clicks, or just sitting there watching. That does not make for a fun video game.

There are a few puzzles, and a hand full of the challenge (optional) tombs. These can be pretty neat and take a little thought to figure out. But again, it's not a huge part of the game so far.

All together I can not recommend it as it plays more like a movie than anything else. It's great to look at for a while, but I found that was the only thing really holding me there, and graphics can only hold up a boring game for so long.
