Although the first\u00a0Tomb Raider<\/em> didn’t wow me, I was\u00a0completely hooked<\/strong> after the second entry. From then on the series can only be described as a rollercoaster of quality, so here’s a selection of some of the best hand-picked games from the franchise: spanning all three continuities<\/a>.<\/p> This scrappy reboot was the first of two total attempts to rework the franchise.<\/p> Like both efforts, it worked! Legend<\/em>, while erring on the wacky side from a narrative perspective (more so than several entries before it), was a success; partly due to the attempts to breathe new life into what was becoming a stagnating franchise toward the end of the original run. By the time Angel of Darkness<\/em> hit next, some felt like Tomb Raider<\/em> couldn’t come back from it. But it did!<\/p> While there was room for improvement with\u00a0Rise of the Tomb Raider<\/em> several years later, the 2013 reboot (which might be the most well-known game on this entire list at this point) had quite a bit of fanfare throughout its marketing campaign: and actually delivered on a lot of what it promised.<\/p> Although some parts are prone to rust (especially the busywork pin-filled open world map), the core experience is fantastic, and a great way to reintroduce Lara Croft to a new generation.<\/p> 5 – Tomb Raider: Legend<\/em><\/h2>
4 – Tomb Raider 2013<\/em><\/h2>
