My biggest problem was that Rise of the Tomb Raider was literally just a Rambo game with Rambo replaced with a neurotic and annoying iteration of Lara Croft.

I always said that would have been one of the greatest action games ever made if it were Rambo in Honduras or somewhere in Central or South America fighting against some rogue militia/coup, utilising all of the mechanics from that game. They added the survival elements that you didn't really need and had no reason to explore, and the nu-Lara was never believable with her melee attacks, as it would have been far better if you were playing someone depicted as physically capable, which they didn't do with the remakes.

The only reason it was decent as a Tomb Raider game is because it had really solid mechanics and was attached to a longstanding brand. But everybody missed the boat on that one because they essentially architected the perfect Rambo game without Rambo.
