This game is Very Good but I don't know how I feel about the semi-open hub areas that appear at some points in the game. The sidequests make them fun to run around in, but rather than having fifty million collectibles (those coin caches, christ) I would've preferred if they had cut them down in size and added more Challenge Tombs (aka puzzles) instead since there's only 9 in the entire game.
Even then, the Challenge Tombs themselves and the puzzles (if they can even be called that) during the storyline are extremely easy and full of hand holding. Lara won't shut up during them and sometimes will keep repeating hints until you figure it out.

The storyline is interesting so far, the side characters and antagonists are fine but Lara herself is dull as gently caress. I don't know if it's the character itself or her VA sounding bored all the time.

Rhianna Pratchett was involved in one of the fifty million iterations the Thief reboot went through in its 4+ years of development.
Regardless, all the games she's been involved in had pretty mediocre or awful storylines, so she's just another Bad Writer in the field of AAA video games.
