Apparently the magic number for everyone is seven. Which is fair. The running joke when this game debuted was how Lara went from one scene of being tortured or captured to the next, and that her VA probably had to spend entire weeks doing nothing but making screams of pain. While that is kinda true, I didn't really feel like it was noticeable so much as it pushed the stakes. For a "nobody," Lara is ridiculous forward about stepping up as a hero, performing all kinds of acts of athleticism and bravery that someone in her position probably wouldn't do individually, let alone collectively, and I think that's my bigger beef. At some point, someone would say "I'm done, someone else's turn already."

I also have to work to separate the story in this game from the collectathon exploration, which is what I remember most. And while I'm not sure how I'd rate the gameplay, I'm going to give the story an 8/10 for strong characterization and a number of really strong moments, even if it was certainly not flawless.
