So how have people experienced this game?

I picked it up as I heard it was different to the previous instalments (which I never liked) and was focusing on the character of Lara and her trials.
The combat was fun. I also found myself seeking out the optional "tombs" which were also great. However, I found all the tension and emotion in the story was ruined by quick time events. I was incredibly frustrated by this, it ruined what was a great game. Every time a cut scene was initiated I would dread another QTE which I'd have to repeat over and over...

Also I found myself without any interest in the "Croft" legacy and Lara's back-story. I wanted to know who she was and who she was becoming, not what breeding stock she came from.

All in all, I really enjoyed it and thought it was a massive improvement on the old games.
