Remember good level design? Levels that took height into account? Paths that fold back onto themselves? Multiple routes?

Awful, awful decision.

You wouldn't want to confuse other players with maze-like levels, would you? No need to gatekeep.

I guess this is where the "half-life ruined fps games" meme came from

Look, it's time to put that meme to rest. No one gave a shit about what the inside of an Antlion lair looked like. Were there ways they could have made it interesting? Sure, they could have had humans trapped in the webs a la Shelob's Lair. However, it ended up being just kind of a webby, monotonic cave with obnoxious enemies.

If you're gonna have me get lost in a maze, make sure whatever it is I'm doing it interesting in case I get lost. Get lost in a strip club maze? Definitely. Get lost in a playhouse mirror maze? Sure? Get lost in a dark cave with no plot advancement or driving plot force except for an obnoxious bug that wants to kill you? Fuck off.

Lara is a hitscanning human, just one that moves faster, has better maneuverability, better range of fire, an arsenal of weapons more efficient at killing, locks-on quicker, and can maintain lock-on even if line of sight is broken. Hitscanning enemies make the game more evenly challenging and fit the story better.
There's still plenty of animals and bat/wrench-wielding thugs analogous to the wildlife from TR1, and the non-hitscanning ninjas and frogmen stand in for the Atlanteans and their projectiles.
