I didn't mean to imply that the bow isn't a good weapon in game.The games are mainly more realistic in theme because of the Lara murder porn (that everyone laughs at) and the integration of the super generic crafting mechanics that every game has to have nowadays. The writers are at least in the beginning wanting the tone more serious and Lara to overcome "trials and tribulations" as her origin story of how she becomes the Lara Croft we know. Though, in the end, the games (I didn't play the last one though) are like B action movies that don't really know how to have enough fun with themselves, and the writers aren't very good as well. The gameplay is, outside of the crafting, a fun action game akin to Uncharted. The bow is so OPed in the games, it's not even funny; just google search "tomb raider bow overpowered".
When I said that the bow wasn't a weapon of choice I literally meant that Lara Croft doesn't choose to use a bow. In both the first and second game the bow is your first projectile weapon and is a found/built weapon. In the first game she finds the bow on a dead body hanging from a tree, and in the second game she builds a make-shift bow out of sticks.
