Looked intriguing from the screenshots. Reviews on Metacritic for other versions are not good though so pass.

I’ve never heard of this before, even back when it was out in 2016.

The cover art clearly or coincidentally I suppose steals from Uncharted 3’s cover art for sure. So, what is this? From skimming the article it sounds like a Indie Uncharted with zero 3PS shooting at all. Is that accurate?

I bought cheap on PS4 and it is awful. I thought it would be a throwback to the old Tomb Raider games but the puzzles are rubbish, controls are worse and it is full of bugs. No doubt as there is a physical release it will be way, way overpriced on Switch also.

Is the big twist at the end of this game that Adam and Eve are sent back... I mean Evelyn... sent back in time to an era just before (Immediately before) humans first appeared on the world scene?

I bought this for $3 on PS4, and got my money's worth out of it, but it was a close call. Very buggy and disjointed experience. I think the $3 is right at the tipping scale for a fair deal. If it goes on sale as often and as deeply as it did on PSN, some people could get some enjoyment out of it. However, at full retail price, stay far away.

Better be a better update like what they did with Witcher 3.

If nothing else, the box art is absolutely aesthetic

If the character was slightly more to the left of the images, I would've thought they were screens from RE4, even after completing that game like 20 times on several platforms since its first appearance.
At first glance, without closer examination, obviously.

Sodesco-published shovelware in an attempt to cash in on the Switch-physical goldmine. $18 on Steam, $40 on Switch? LOL, no thank you. We need more quality games like Owlboy and less trite like this, Sodesco.
