great game, great graphics, great physics, great puzzles, most interesting story in the series, no weird fixation on torturing, beating, and killing Lara in frankly quite sociopathing ways *cough looking at you 2013* and actually did a lot of it's homework on Norse mythology (before adding artistic licsense of course)

I really liked the feeling that it gives when played, that of an older Tomb Raider on better graphics.
Audio

The voice acting is pretty good, Keeley Hawes is not my favorite voice for Lara but she does fine, keeping the consistency of the last two games in tact.

Also, this worked just fine on my Steam Deck, in spite of the fact that it says unsupported.
