The game's pretty good, story, gameplay, so far, reminds me of the previous game.
But oh boy does this game have the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ground collision boxes I've EVER experienced in my 30+ years of gaming. Naver have I ever has been caught by the enemy, while sneaking, because I got STUCK on a EFING threshold of an elevator! Doorsteps, thresholds, curbs, all of them feel as if they were knee-high walls that constantly block you, and you have to jump to bypass. But sometimes you can't, because instead of doing a small hop, the console-like qualities of this game have to shove their ass in, and implement "contextual action", and instead of doing that little hop over the elevator's threshold, you instead do a 3m high jump to the ledge above the elevator's entrance, and then the enamy sees you and you have to reload last save.

That aside, the game's ok.

Timeless classic.

Really good, casual souls-like.
There are no bugs as of yet, no stupid imbalances. The controls are pretty crisp and responsive.

Edit: Be warned tho. The game is Heavy on DEI, as all SW is recently. Outside of MC, there is not a single white male in the game, at least one with an exposed face, and for whatever reason, rebels on Kashyyyk have more females in their ranks than males.

The game is good, but has its flaws. It's too much, I wouldn't say even Portal 1, because even there half of the game was applying what we learned in puzzle rooms outside of them, and here, it's all puzzle rooms. Not counting small sections at the start/end of the chapters, it's all puzzle rooms. Instead of "learn, learn, learn, apply what you learned to traverse enviroment in an organic way", it's "puzzle x4, traverse one room/outside area, puzzle x4, traverse..." and so on for 15 chapters. Don't get me wrong, the game is fine, but around chapter 10 it becomes tedious, even though each chapter has new puzzle elements.

Excelent atmosphere, solid gameplay, good story.

As it is, I cannot recommed this game.
The game is not really bad, but it suffers from many, MANY small problems, most of them from the design perspective. Like the fact that absolutelly every damage you recieve stunlocks you. Enemies standing on ledges that you have to get to, spaming traps and ranged attacks. And probably the worse one, dodge on cooldown. And I do not mean half a secon or evea second. No. 5 second cooldown. You have two dodges and then each one takes 5 seconds to refresh, while most enemies you really need that dodge to fight, spam 3-4 even 5 attacks, that you can't do anything but be far away. Preferably that they are not on the sceen anymore type "away". Oh, did I also mentioned that bosses have attacks that pass through walls, and there's no indicator such attack is comming, or from where, when the boss teleported to a platform off-screen? Also, some bosses have regeneration mechanic, with "crystals" that fix themselves after a time, and there no visual or sound cue it's happening. All you can do is glue your eyes at the boss's healthbar. There's also no world map, only local area, which is insane for a metroidvania.
Also, sound ♥♥♥♥♥ and no one done anything with it for the last ~10 years,

The game is quite enjoyable, but has flaws.
- The constant camera bob makes me wanna puke
- The story and the characters in places are stupid as ♥♥♥♥
- Lara has the most anemic running of all games

The usual Ubi gatherfest, but if you ignore most of the markers, it's pretty enjoyable.

Really fun Hat collecting game, though for a Team Fortress 2 spinoff, there are not enough guns.

Edit. Now that I played some more, let's be serious. The game is fun to play and entertaining but has one big flaw. The camera. It's one of the worse cameras I had to use in a game. It's far too close, and even worse, it tends to come even closer, during some platforming, that the kid takes most of the space on the screen. You can't tilt it up, so trying to see platforms or collectibles that are above you, borders on impossible (really detrimental in the Mafia Town). Some sections, like the mushroom tree in the Subcon could use a fixed camera following the kid around the trunk. All in all, it's not atrocious, but it is bad.

Enjoyable citybuilder with shooter mechanics.
