Mrs Nesbitt from GamersFTW writes: "Lara Croft is without doubt one of the most recognisable female face in gaming. Initially designed to be a man, the developers decided on a drastic sex change as they did not want the character to be likened to another famous adventurer, Indiana Jones. It boggles the mind to think what games would have been produced had they not opted for the polygonal beauty."
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
Oh Lara, how you have kept us entertained over the years. What a fine video game woman she is.
Honestly thought the latest Tomb Raider would suck but damn has Lara aged fine.
Always great to read about the history of a franchise, serves as a good reminder to some of the older, and occasionally better, titles in the series.
This has been the greatest evolution in video games, its simply got better and better.
More like the evolutions of Lara Croft's boobs amirite?
I kid. It's amazing to see how far things have come, and even with some less stellar escapades (Not a fan of Jolie), Lara will stay a star of videogaming forever.
