Noooo, most previous Tomb Raider games are clunky as hell, but they do contain plenty of actual tomb raiding. And again, I didn't play it for the plot and characters either, but it does spend quite a bit of its time on it, so it being terrible is a legitimate complaint. Not for everyone, sure, but that's not the point. Also, I'm not trying to claim TR is terrible or that you should not like it, I'm just arguing for my own point of view.
My problem was that we have plenty of Third Person Shooters that are better than Tomb Raider, even within the same year it came out. This had the chance to be a bit more diverse by leading us towards cool and dangerous tombs filled with treasure and traps and tough puzzles and whatnot. All the while being a bit more slow paced, more stealthy and requiring actual hunting and gathering in order to survive. But instead it opted to be another fast-paced shooter, completely disregarding its actual name, as these games sell better and are more popular to the general populace. It works and I had fun with it, but it was quite forgettable for me personally as I was hoping for more.
