Tomb Raider is Uncharted. The similarities can be seen with every step, from the movement and traversal of the protagonist to the action set pieces. Where Tomb Raider fails to deliver is the lackluster story, which at first promises a gritty look into how some unforseen circumstances cause Lara to come out of her shell and become the hero that she did not think she could be. This is completely discarded in the first half of the game, and by the time you're using a grenade launcher to kill your generic bad guy #100, you can feel the disconnect between the story and gameplay. If you can look past this shortcoming, the gameplay can be at times breathtaking, and the visuals are also really nice.
