The previous games had QTEs as well, so it's to be expected. I'm not a great fan of them, as I feel they break immersion, but I'm not hugely bothered by them either. Saying that, I can understand why people object to them. The issue here is that the QTEs are replacing the biggest thing that the series was once known for: platforming. Lara's traversal move set has been significantly reduced. No more player-controlled wall-running, balancing, swinging, rappelling, rolling, etc. Now everything is done automatically or through QTEs. Everything I've seen of the new TR reminds me of Uncharted. Rudimentary platforming and puzzle-solving, heavy focus on combat, cinematics and set-pieces. Basically, the exact opposite of what I look for in a TR game (or any game, really).
