Temples, puzzles and acrobatics: with Lara Croft, Tomb Raider invented 3D exploration-adventure. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The original Tomb Raider revolutionized 3D adventure games with the iconic and athletic archaeologist Lara Croft. Exploration of ancient temples, ingenious puzzles and oppressive atmosphere. A foundational 3D action-adventure and PS1 title whose cultural impact remains immense."
"Crystal Dynamics deliver a stunning sequel to the Tomb Raider reboot with a more mature Lara and breathtaking Siberian vistas. Progression mixes survival, exploration and combat into a convincing cocktail, and the 360 port stays largely well polished for the studio's last Lara entry."
"Tomb Raider 2 considerably improves on its predecessor with more varied environments, new armed human enemies and increased detail. Lara Croft explores China, Venice and an underwater base. A franchise peak that surpasses the first entry in scope and quality."

"Remake of the original 1996 Tomb Raider with modernised visuals and gameplay. Architectural puzzles, tomb exploration and combat are faithful to the classic's spirit. A successful tribute letting new generations discover Lara Croft's original adventure."
"Tomb Raider III offers an open game structure allowing players to choose the order of four world zones. Lara Croft in India, Nevada, Polynesia and London. Higher difficulty than predecessors. A rich and ambitious entry, arguably the most demanding of the original trilogy on PS1."
