My first playthrough of it was around when it came out and I didn’t really notice any issues and believed the controversy was blown out of proportion. In a recent playthrough, it became clear this game did not have well-written female characters in mind and it is hard to ignore that the execution of these topics was not in good taste.
Oh yeah no it’s hardly a thoughtful exploration of anything. The entire remake trilogy was a complete disappointment in that regard.
Games with some cool stuff but also glaring flaws that by the third I was quite fed up with. I wanted the new Tomb Raider games to be more better, and they just weren’t. Fun, but not “I’d wear that on a t-shirt”-good the way the Horizons or new GoW games are.

Exactly. It’s a fun romp but I don’t go out of my way to recommend it.
