The Best Tomb Raider Games Ranked

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.

I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂

Pyrofire95447d ago

Would it be worth saying why?

ZeekQuattro447d ago

Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

-Foxtrot447d ago

Zeek

“Hating”

No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies

But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.

MeatyUrologist446d ago

Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.

I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?

RavenWolfx447d ago

I would agree Rise for 1 and the reboot as 2. Shadow is a bit high, though.

Sonic1881447d ago (Edited 447d ago )

I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy

Pyrofire95447d ago

That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)

MeatyUrologist447d ago

Agrees. First two are correct but Shadow should be around 5-6.

terstomp447d ago

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.

jznrpg447d ago

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.

robtion447d ago

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.

Looked good too wished we got an alpha build too

-Foxtrot25d ago

So they wanted to do a remake of Anniversary but using Survivor Lara that Shadow of the Tomb Raider would have lead into...yeah, I'm glad this was cancelled.

Legends Lara was great, Survivor Lara doesn’t hold a candle to her.

The Netflix show was trash though…

That's not even a good template 😞 ugh this is gonna suck

Killer2020UK213d ago

What's gonna suck?

This is an opinion piece that has zero bearing on production of the hypothetical 12th installment of Tomb Raider.

Sciurus_vulgaris215d ago

The animated Netflix series is a sequel to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Also, Netflix distributed this show, the company uses external production companies for most of its content. The show doesn’t provide a template for Crystal Dynamics [who was credited in production of the show], the Lara in the show is the one from the 2013 reboot series, and wasn’t reimagined for the show.

mastershredder214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

A perfect buleprint to be considered for awards you mean. Yeah, this will pander perfectly.

SimpleDad214d ago

If they want to lose money... sure, the blueprint is perfect.

"To continue to be involved or to be involved in another way with [Lara Croft] would be an absolute dream and also a responsibility I would take seriously given how beloved and known she is…" the Marvel star tells GamesRadar+.

live-action Atwell? ... during early 2010s she would've nailed it ... but now ... dunno man

Nacho_Z214d ago

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing her play a slightly more mature version of the character. She's only 42 so still fine for all the action scenes.

Elantregaless214d ago

Get Brie Larsen to play new 'Lara Croft'

Elantregaless213d ago (Edited 213d ago )

Shh. Play along. Trust the plan.

aaronaton214d ago

The series is an abomination, and if she had anything about her, having read the script..... she should of declined.

cloganart214d ago

It sounds like you are just mad the show Lara's bosom is not as big as your triangle titty delusions.

Michiel1989214d ago

Lara is a fullblown lesbian crybaby in the anime, another character that was completely a ladies man has been made gay and is now her bff moral support, surely we only care about her tits instead of character development.

cloganart214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

@Michiel1989

All you chuds care about is sexuality and gender, it's hilarious. You've turned into the SJWs you've targeted and hated, getting triggered by anything and everything 🤣 https://i.imgur.com/dMBfwtF...

Michiel1989214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

Okay I didn't know that but what about the rest I said?....Lara was one of the strongest most badass protagonist in gaming and now she just cries half of the show. If that's a version of Lara that you want, more power to you, it's not for me.

and you care only about others caring about boobies. The only one who is talking about her tits is you my man. He said something about script and you started talking about her boobs.

The classical "you're just triggered" argument so you don't have to reply anything substantial and just say that, that's the sign of someone losing a discussion and not knowing what to say.

mastershredder214d ago

The most sickening part of all of this is not even that the IP is getting gutted not to be inclusive, it’s ONLY done so to be considered for awards and a funding for the next project. That’s it. It’s as pointless as a fortune 500 company virtue signaling during pride month. The bottom line is they will do the compliance dance and shell out anything to continue the cash flow, Just like the willing this VO actress people are fanning up to ^.

Also, who give a 7uck what the voice actress thinks or what she’s doing? This site is about games., not voice actors day dreams.
