Pros:
-One of those games that is ahead of this time
-Great story and good music
-A variety of weapons and ability to use bullet time
-Great atmosphere and noir feel
-Has a final boss fight

Cons:
-Typing affects the game (e.g. if you type tab, you use a painkiller) when Steam overlay is on
-The game is old, so graphics and AI are dated
-You have to beat the game a couple times on different difficulties to get the good ending

Pros:
-Excellent graphics, everything is very detailed, everything looks pretty good even if graphics are on medium, Lara's character model changes are the game progresses if you are not using a skin
-Great combat, well designed weapons which can be upgraded, really liked the bow and arrow, being able to use combos such as counters, and sneaking up and killing enemies
-Game-play switches from puzzle solving, finding a way to get to a location, hiding from enemies, attacking/getting attacked and quick time events which keeps the game interesting
-Couple of intense boss fights with enemies that are twice your size
-Lots of collectibles and some historical facts which is great for completionists
-Unique leveling system which allows you to customize your skills and play style as you progress through the game
-Lots of checkpoints and autosaves so you will not lose progress
-Controller support and achievements

Cons:
-Very, very glitchy, stuck at 98% completion even though I completed everything (including collectibles are Cliffside Bunker), random objects floating around, clipped through a floor and died, had to restart and re-kill the last boss three times until the game acknowledged that the boss was dead
-Jumping and clinging onto ledges does not always work, sometimes you have to align a bit left or a bit right at other times in order to grab onto a ladder even if you jump right in the center
-AI is pretty bad, enemies throw grenades at you even though you are behind a wall and end up killing themselves, wolves back away from you even though they can bite you right way
-The story is very linear and bland, there is not much replayability, characters are very stereotypical and the plot is very cliche
-Some of the cut-scenes of Lara dying are unnecessary and are ridiculous
-The puzzles are either very easy, or require you to quickly do a bunch of stuff
-Quick time events are annoying, and is pretty much trial and error
-Multi-player is pretty much dead and is not very engaging and some game modes are not very balanced, leveling to get upgrades is also very annoying
-The DLC are terrible, there is only one single player DLC that provides one optional tomb which can be solved in less 15 minutes, rest are multi-player maps and skins

Overall, I would rate this 5.5/10. There are many areas that can improve.

Pros:
-Decent music, great artwork (loved the artwork for the enemies/background) which all change with each eversion
-One of those games where it seems simple but gets really complicated
-Pretty good level designs and some thinking/puzzles involved for collecting gems
-Keyboard and controller support
-Hidden achievements, a hidden level and multiple endings that don't require you to have to re-beat the entire game to unlock
-Some hard levels/checkpoints which require muscle memory if like games like that

Cons:
-Not a lot of differences when compared to the freeware version
-Not much of the actual story of the game is explained
-Does not really have fullscreen support
-Not appropriate for kids, although when it seems to be appropriate at first glance

Pros:
-Great story, turn-based RPG gameplay and characters
-Lots of minigames and side quests
-Lots of mods available online to enhance your experience
-Great music (replaced midi quality from the original pc port)
-Achievements
-Great with a controller, not too great with a keyboard

Cons:
-You have to sign up a Square Enix account to play the game
-Low quality cutscenes and dated graphics
-Cloud save does not always work
-Character boosters are not very useful

Pros:
Contains mix of everything (i.e. Assassin’s Creed/Batman fighting style, GTA-like missions, Street Races)
Entertaining Cantonese dialogue
Decent voice acting and music
Great graphics with free HD DLC (rain and wet roads/texture look great, lots of details in city)
Excellent open world game

Cons:
Predictable (kinda copied) and short storyline (should not take more than 12 hours to beat the main missions)
Terrible controls for pc if not using a controller
Excessive swearing (don't think someone will swear for no reason when the car in front of you stops at the red light)
Lots of glitches and clipping (got stuck in a car, stuck on top of a garbage can, faces coming out of walls)

Pros:
Beautiful Artwork
Great Music
Well thought-out story

Cons:
Pointless clicking
Very, very linear
Easy puzzles
