Level 1 (HOME SWEET HOME):

• Pretty boring and mediocre standard home level. I like home levels, but this one isn't very good.
• The inside and outside training courses don't have a timer and seem pointless.
• Often looks irritatingly empty and dreary.
• You can exit the level without getting your guns, but then you can't finish level 2. This is an unacceptable soft-lock.

Level 2 (MOUNTANIOUS RIDE):

• This looks better and more exciting, but ultimately it's still sterile and linear.
• Riding around with the snow bike is still fun.
• The only hard part was where to get up to find the keys. That left me confused for a while.
• Until here, the difficulty is still rather easy.

Level 3 (DEATH TRAIN):

• A standard train level, but I think the gameplay and visuals are getting much better here.
• One of the better levels of this set. Gameplay is actually fun now.
• There are some surprisingly tricky jumps, warrants at least a "challenging" rating.
• Moving that block with the flame emitter was really mean and tricky to figure out.

Level 4 (ICY CLIFFS):

• Looks even better. I really liked the concept and the overall architecture. It was my favorite level of this set.
• Although the texturing is occasionally monotone, it mostly fits the location and atmosphere.
• It seems to have a serious problem with soft-locks. If you do certain things wrong, you can't finish the level.
• Finding your path is the most difficult thing about this level.

Level 5 (BETWEEN FIRE & ICE):

• Relatively short level, there's not much to say.
• Some extremely tricky sliding+jumping sequences.
• The cold water at the palace entry makes diving more time critical.

Level 6 (CRYSTAL PALACE):

• Final level. This is longer and one of the better levels of this set.
• Requires some true expert moves to get through.
• The jump sequence with the breaking tiles for one of the Redeye Crystals is rather tricky and can end in a soft-lock. You should keep a savegame before starting, you're safe once you'Re back to the entry. This seems to be intentional.
• The push puzzle is another puzzle which can end in a soft-lock, and which looks intentional.
• And another soft-lock: if you're not quick enough when releasing the 2 snow boulders, you simply can't open the exit and finish the level. Obviously intentional.

• The last puzzle of the game rubbed me the wrong way, it's the moment where two boulders drop from the ceiling. It boils down to pulling three switches in a specific order. The first issue is that the player is softlocked if they don't solve it on the first try. The second is that two of the switches momentarily disable Lara's movement after being pulled (one of them does so twice). It feels arbitrary, and I can't be the only player who wondered if something was wrong with their keyboard. I can only guess that this was done to enforce the "correct" solution, since the levers could otherwise be pulled in a different order to reach the end. Either way it makes the solution feel artifical.

• I love the colorful lighting in this adventure, especially in the last level. It helps add variety and add distinction to different parts of large areas.
• Aside from what I noted above, there are other puzzles that I found enjoyable, whether it was tracing lines to switches, or pushing blocks to activate a pressure pad.
• With timed runs, crumbling platforms, and tricky slopes, the platforming is not for beginners, but for me it was engaging. It will be difficult to progress without knowing the "hop backwards off a ledge and tap action" trick to reach lower ledges.
• There's not a large amount of enemies, but when they do appear they make an impact and put Lara's arsenal to its test. Enemies come in a nice variety as well.
