I’m
not proud of this, but I’ll be honest and say that I wanted to dislike Tomb Raider. I’ve never been a fan of
the franchise in the past, and the knuckle-headed pre-release PR, coupled with
my general dislike for reboots meant that I was positively looking forward to this
game being mauled by the press. Imagine my annoyance, then, when I found
myself enjoying Lara’s origin story more than any other game so far this year.
