![]() ![]() Though the game was perhaps not considered on par with the original trilogy, Legend did break new ground in a different gaming generation. While she got a bit of a redesign, Lara continued to be a great hero, the gameplay was fluid and satisfying, the puzzles were challenging yet fun, and it provided an adventure that rivaled the original trilogy. The below table listed every Lara Croft game, along with its original release date, developer, and publisher.ġ9 Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness (2003) - 52Īfter the disappointing Angel Of Darkness, Legend was intended as the true return to form as a brand new story in the series and it did just that despite its short length. Lara Croft has been around the world multiple times, and that looks set to continue into the future. Tomb Raider has a long and storied history, one that spans more than 15 games across a plethora of platforms and console generations. While waiting for these releases, fans can revisit the best Tomb Raider games from across three decades. Tomb Raider Reloaded is also expected to launch on mobile devices in 2023. Provided everything goes as planned, the in-development project should represent Lara Croft at her best, at least from a graphical point of view. Updated Januby Mark Sammut: Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that a Tomb Raider sequel is in the works, and the upcoming title will utilize Unreal Engine 5. Going by Metacritic's scores, what games are considered the worst and best of the Tomb Raider franchise? Tomb Raider exploded into a mega-franchise that continued for many years, then found itself rebooted with a new series of games that enjoyed tremendous success during the 2010s. Lara Croft: Who Is The Best Treasure Hunter? When Tomb Raiderburst onto the scene in 1996, it was very rare for a female protagonist to be the leading playable character in a video game, with the only noteworthy exception being Samus from the Metroid series. One of these characters would be Lara Croft. Die-hard fans and new fans alike will love this great game, which is easily one of the best games of 2013 so far.Few video game protagonists have stood the test of time to last as long as the likes of Mario or Sonic The Hedgehog. Overall, Tomb Raider is an amazing, well-written, exciting, realistic and gritty reboot of the classic game franchise. A good feature of the game is you can go back to past locations and explore tombs or the general area for more rewards, which unlock weapons and skills. And relax, there ARE tombs to explore in this game, but they're not a big part of the main story. The game is pretty evenly spaced between exploring and combat. Unfortunately, no unlimited ammo this time around, but that only makes the game even more realistic. Later on, a pistol, rifle and shotgun are also added to the weapons list. To start off with you only have a bow and arrow, but even this is a lot of fun. Voice acting is pretty good across the board, with Camilla Luddington in particular doing some great work for Lara. Her movements are much more realistic as well, and for the first time she really shows emotion, not just in cut scenes. ![]() She's also far more realistic than she was in previous games, with more believable proportions and skills. Character development is top-notch, especially for Lara, showcasing her dramatic journey from frightened young woman to hardened survivor. There is a simply stunning amount of detail as well, from the dirt and blood that coats Lara at times to the sheer scale of the environments. The visuals are utterly gorgeous, pushing the Xbox's capabilities to the limit. There are BIG amounts of blood and gore in this game, and some parts will make you cringe like nothing else (people who've played the game already will know what I'm talking about). It's the first Tomb Raider to be rated 17+ (MA15+ in Australia) and it certainly shows. Tomb Raider is one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played and arguably the best game in the Tomb Raider franchise. So begins an epic struggle to escape the island's mysterious inhabitants, rescue her separated crew and get off the island. Tomb Raider is, essentially, the origins story of Lara Croft and the story is this: she's on an expedition looking for the lost kingdom of Queen Himiko and the Yamatai when the ship she's on is wrecked on a mysterious island in the Dragon's Triangle (pretty much the Japanese version of the Bermuda Triangle). Turns out, all my worries have been completely put to rest by this amazing new game. As a die-hard fan of the series and an avid collector of everything Lara Croft, I was hoping against hope that this game would be awesome. Console: Xbox 360 Estimated gameplay time (main story): 12-15 hours When the news came out that the classic Lara Croft: Tomb Raider series was being completely rebooted, I was a little nervous about how they were going to pull it off.
