This game is very good so far. I've only played 2 hours and have some minor complaints but other than that the game is fantastic. Don't let any of my complaints deter you from buying the game though because overall it's extremely fun. On the plus side (which heavily outweigh any negatives) collectibles feel like they're worth something this time, combat/stealth is great, good graphics, improved crafting/upgrades, extra modes that aren't generic multiplayer...it's going to be a GOTY contender for me no doubt.
So my overall minor complaints so far:
1: The bow and arrow isn't all that fun to shoot. Maybe it'll get better later with some upgrades but it's tough to hit moving animals so I waste arrows left and right (which is ok because they're plentiful if you search everywhere). It's a little comical, but overall it just feels a bit too slow to aim when you're trying to hit one of the faster moving targets. I wish it felt like it had a little more impact to it as well.
2: I rely on the map + Lara sense technology too much. This can just be considered my own problem since I'm choosing to use them but hey they're there so I do. I end up not wanting to run around randomly searching too much and so it loses some feel of exploration when I set a point on my map to grab the next document or coin cache or whatever.
It's kind of a double edged sword though because I do like that it's available. I guess I should be going through an area first and only after doing so should I use the map + senses to make sure I grab everything.
3. After using the Lara Sense to highlight things, there's a short delay before you can use it again. I don't really understand the point of the delay. It seems it's only there to make me click the button extra times and annoy me. It's much like the sprint delay in Destiny (though it is not as annoying).
Anyway, as I said fantastic game so far and can't wait to have some time to get into it more.
