An eGamer journalist talks about the new Tomb Raider, and elements of its narrative that video games in general still haven't gotten quite right yet.
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
Game is absolutely amazing. Best Tomb Raider in 2 gens.
That is all

This article is totally backwards. I would like to see these journalists stranded on an island being hunted down by fanatics, how would they react? Would they not fight them back? Would they roll into a fetal position and wait to die? Of course not, they would kill those cuts in the same brutal way they did your friends and try to do you.
Well. Ps1 tomb raider were dark souls hard or harder and I hated them, couldn't finish any one. The ps2 ones wr okay but this one is BEST. Angryjoe sez it best. Go And Get It
All I know is that this game took me by surprise. The graphics are amazing, gameplay is fun, and I personally enjoyed the narrative. One of the best games this generation imo
Yeah, but blanket statements never work. For me personally, the Metal Gear series has perfect narrative. And there are a good handful of others that are fantastic to me. I get that some are a bit shallow and cliche like a cheap bro flick, but there are plenty of examples in videogame history that have stellar storytelling.
