I dunno, Rise of the Tomb Raider was pretty adventure-y and had Lara not pausing to say how terrible everything was. Granted it became less "Oh wow I'm gonna find a lost city" and more "Oh shit I gotta clean up my mess, whoops!" but on the whole it felt like a complete reversal of the Lara from the first reboot. The entire backhalf of that game is her just kicking all the ass before stopping to go diving in a leper colony. 


Personally I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with reboots. It's just that they have a bad track record because people correctly assume that they can slap the name of a popular old thing and phone it in. Like the best reboots are the ones that know how to pay homage while also doing its own thing, like the Planet of the Apes reboot.
