What I liked about the classic Tomb Raider games (and classic games in general) is that they set a clearly defined control mechanic and leave the rest of it up to you. Nowadays there's too many contextual actions, so pressing a button makes your character do whatever he or she needs to do at that point in the game, and it just doesn't have meaning. If you have a certain repertoire of predefined moves and jumps, it allows you the opportunity to figure out how to use them to progress or to improve your skill.
