Sorry if i triggered you. Nobody says it's a bad thing, but totally focussing on it while neglecting gameplay is. I prefer gameplay over story and TR has better gameplay. Simple as that.

I didn't get SotTR at launch, however i picked it up later down the line and probably had a better experience because of it due to patches that fixed the bugs.
However, i prefer Lost Legacy but not by a lot. It was good and it shows that you can make a decent Uncharted game without Nathan Drake.

Selfishly plays on Xbox Purr-ies X
Even though I didn't play UCLL I did play UC 1-4 so I gave my vote to SotTR by default. I like the Tomb Raider reboot about 1000 times more than Uncharted. I wasn't a fan of the old TRs but the reboot is one of my favorite series and Shadow is my favorite of the 3.
I never played any Uncharted games before I bought a PS 4 but I'd seen many comments how the new TR is a copy of UC so I was expecting something similar to the new TR. Except for art & graphics UC wasn't comparable to the new TR games and was not at all what I was expecting and hoping for.
To me UC is just a copy of the OLD TR games with better graphics and voice acting. UC consists of shoot, shoot, shoot find some meaningless collectibles, oooh here's a big set piece and now let's watch some cut scenes. I did enjoy UC 1-3 for what they were, Nathan Drake & Sully are a GREAT characters, but for my taste in games they don't vaguely compare to the new TR series. And 4? UC4 was the 2nd most over-rated snooze fest exceeded only by RDR2.

The new tomb raider series is trash IMO. I couldn't even sit through the first one cause of the breathy voice acting and forgettable characters.... Even Lara herself is a neutered beige version of her past self.
The gameplay and animation are all basically copied from uncharted games.
Both of the characters in TLL are ten times more interesting than Lara and the gameplay is just much better.
Ifi were to sum up why tomb raider fails where the uncharted games succeed its because uncharted gets the tone right. Raider takes itself way too seriously.
ND have TLOU as a more serious kind of game. Uncharted always ends very upbeat and never gets too dark.

*Though, in my experience, the extra time is filled with busywork rather than more meaningful content (ie: tombs)

SotTR 20-25 hours to fully complete
LL 10-12 hours to fully complete
In my experience a lot of my time making the most of the campaign in SotTR was in navigating unnecessarily twisty hub-areas and pursuing crafting materials - such as herbs, gold and animal pelts. I 100%'d the game. I did all the challenge tombs and optional challenges. The optional challenges (ie: find X wind-chimes hanging from trees / dive from 3 appropriately high areas) felt more of a mechanic to keep you scooching around every corner of the environment rather than provide better natural flowing / signposted gameplay that feels like genuine progression instead of incremental box-ticking progression. Arguably this is where 10+ extra gameplay hours are spent that Lost Legacy doesn't bother with. If that sort of thing sounds appealing, then you've 10+ extra hours of gameplay with appealing content.
