Apart from getting stuning visuals and some good puzzles, it's frustrating to see the new Lara not outperform the old.

It has all the moves, all the fun, but the game mechanics are dumb at least, getting the player frustrated not to see a new style emerge for Lara as some other games have set lately (Assassins Creed for example) where the moves are fluid and natural. The weapons choice is quite limited too. In other games we could evolve the guns to add more firepower, and it got part of the strategy. Here we're stuck with the same weapons from start to finish. Another thing that bothers me quite a bit was the trophies not being present in the game. It makes the treasure search less appealing and doesn't motivate the player to pursue more. The sonar was actually a good idea, but it's hardly helpful. Hopefully they can pick the idea and sort it in a more meaningful way for the future.
The story catches up from the last game, and although linear, it appealing and has some nice moments.
