I pre-ordered (Sunday!) the disk version of this from Amazon. What you get is a fairly large box contianing the game (surprise, surprise...). You get a smallish (3"/75mm) Lara Croft Anime style figure, a hardcover book with some Artwork and a map (rolled up tightly). There is a code to register the game and also a Season Pass. Being a pre-order I also got a piece of bonus DLC (Deux Ex pack).
I am playing on PS4. The game has the look of Tomb Raider games of old. Being next (current I suppose) it does look rather good. It has the third person isometric (?) view. I've only tried the single player, so Lara set off alone, with the Staff of Osiris and her dual wield pistols.
I later found the SMG. You get destroyable containers for extra goodies with special items to pick up along the way. The staff is used to destroy some of the things you find along the way. The gun(s) kill enemies and destroy those containers. You can roll to (hopefully) avoid projectiles. You get bombs which can be used to destroy the projectile devices.
There are rings in places that you can use to grapple up some of the ledges. There are alsp symbols you can activate which allow you to reach other platforms. All fairly straightforward stuff (so far anyway). The touchpad activates the Inventory.
You restart from close to where you die (I've managed that a few times so far).
All in all a fun little distraction. I have no idea how long the game is. Being only ?24.99 (from Amazon) I guess it is not gigantic.
I've not tried the co-op side of the game but I expect it could make life easier at times when you have a horde of enemies attacking.
