Well, yeah...but....

TBH, I'm surprised they toned down her chest for this. She doesn't even look like a DD, let alone the GG cups of the past.

This is the thing. The entire franchise has been built on a foundation of boys' fascination with big breasts. For a long time, Lara Croft had "unrealistic" proportions. (I used quotation marks, because I'm sure there are real women who have the same/similar proportions—albeit, I think it's uncommon, especially without surgery. Mind you, I'm mostly referring to the older images of Croft.)
Then I saw the following pic:
My first thought (after the
hot thought) was,
Wow....she looks so....real. (And hot.)
For the evolution of Lara Croft in terms of perspective, have a look at this:
You will note that the "older" she gets, the proportionately smaller (generally) her chest gets, and the more realistic her overall proportions.
Honestly, the current image looks very real. I could imagine seeing a real woman looking like her and thinking that she's really, really hot.

I hope the gameplay is balanced, the characters are well written, and the story isn't too contrived.

Ditto.
