I thought the reboot and Rise were decent, Rise with its tombs, upgrading gear and weapons, the history of the region and its people, but completely dropped the ball on Laras storyline, and the others from the doomed expedition to Yamatai.
Lara should have been seeking the golden source in Rise to find a way to heal Sam and help keep from losing her mind to a shard of the ancient horror wearing the skin of a Queen that had tried to possess her.
They very much tried to down play the mystical and supernatural elements of the first two reboot games, and I can see they wanted it to be more grounded, but I can and will second they should have had a lot more creatures and dinosaurs.
Trinity for the most part should have been gray at worst, an ancient Templar descended order with a mandate to protect the world from actual supernatural evils.
Like the Templars from Assassins Creed only not cartoonishly evil.
The best part of Rise, the temple in Syria should have had way more of the game like that, instead of just snowy mountains and abandoned Soviet installations.
