Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider revival. Lara Croft across the world hunting an Arthurian myth, tomb exploration, puzzles and combat. Polished execution, reworked narrative, finally modern gameplay. An excellent franchise return, late GameCube release.
Is Lara Croft Tomb Raider - Legend still worth playing in 2026?
A welcome reboot of the saga, Tomb Raider Legend modernises Lara Croft's exploration and acrobatics with finally fluid handling, clever environmental puzzles and a brisk cinematic pace. The adventure stays linear but spectacular, punctuated by gunfights and well paced platforming sequences. The art has aged fairly well. For a fan of classic action adventure or of the licence, the title keeps a real pleasure of progression today.
