Is Lara Croft Tomb Raider - Anniversary still worth playing in 2026?
A remake of the very first Tomb Raider from Crystal Dynamics, Anniversary revisits Lara's mythical temples with the modern Legend engine, its fluid acrobatics and its polished environmental puzzles. The Wii version adds gesture aiming and manipulation, for better in the puzzles and worse in the action. The adventure keeps the solitary grandeur of the original and a real sense of exploration. An excellent adventure game for Lara Croft fans and lovers of contemplative platform puzzling.
