Tomb Raider is already in my steam library (backlog, lol), so you're enjoying it then? I have to say action adventure / third person / open world is my fave genre so I'm almost certainly going to love TR when I get around to it
I'm usually not for story driven games. I'm probably not going back to Alien Isolation because it drags itself out too much. I played like 15 min. of the new Wolfenstein and hated how it forced you through the levels. I did eventually get through the Walking Dead, but I'm not a fan of how obvious it is that your choices don't influence anything. That game saves itself by having a great story though.
The pacing of Tomb Raider is perfect. You kill some things, then you move on to the next cutscene. There are no endless wave of enemies, not everyone you meet is hostile. You can make somewhat strategic decisions. You get just the right level of: do you want to explore, or just get on with it? The acting and animation is good enough that I have no desire to mash the skip button. The camera movement is very well done. It feels almost like playing a 2&1/2 D platformer. you hardly need to control the camera at all. The only other game I remember that used camera movement like that was the first Silent Hill. It's not quite the same level of genius, but it's very good.
Only about 1hr in, but so far I'm loving it. To mention the obvious: you get to look at a very nice cgi butt for the entire game. An underused asset in video games if I may say so myself.
