Ah, Lara Croft… surely she is the very picture of badass and undaunted heroine cliché.
She is tough and incredible and she has been around for quite a while now.
The quality of Tomb Raider games has seen much improvement and enhancement ever since Lara’s introduction back in the day.
These games have got it all, a compelling story, graphics, gripping puzzles and a heroine that is sexy and strong simultaneously.
Newcomers and veteran gamers alike attest to the greatness of the Tomb Raider series of games and how they have changed the Action-Adventure genre for the better.
Tomb Raider
There are plenty of reasons for which you should check out the various games in the Tomb Raider franchise.
For your convenience, we have enumerated these in detail as follows:
An Excellent Third Person Adventure Experience
If you are a fan of third-person shooter and adventure genres then congratulations you just hit the jackpot.
Tomb Raider series of games are mostly played from this perspective.
It allows players to totally immerse themselves in the experience and allows them to control Lara completely.
You will be able to see all that the game has to offer from this perspective.
We wouldn’t be wrong if we said that this is one of the best third-person gaming experience available at present in gaming.
So, be sure to give it a try and be ready to be impressed.
One thing that has always impressed me, and countless others, is the spectacular level of graphics and detail that Tomb Raider games evince.
These games have got sceneries and graphics that seek to amaze and impress.
Even the PlayStation era games were a sight to behold in their day and that experience has transitioned over nicely to the new generation as well.
Lara’s forays into adventure and…..
excuse the Pun…”Tomb Raiding” never look better.
There are beautiful landscapes, cascading waterfalls, ominous crevices, breathtaking visuals and more to enjoy when you embark upon a Tomb Raiding journey.
Lara herself
Lara is a pretty awesome character.
Heck, she was my first video game crush.
She possesses that just-right mix of sexiness and badass presence that we all love.
She is snarky, brave and totally undaunted by any danger that the games throw her way.
You can’t help but develop a connection with this character and this connection just gets deeper the more you progress in the game.
Even the new trilogy, where Lara’s a bit more demure and rough around the edges, proves that the character is still relevant.
She is still a likable character and pretty adept at what she does.
Veteran gamers will be fascinated by this younger and comparatively inexperienced Lara Croft.
So, no matter what game in the series you play, you will still love Lara Croft and the gravitas that her character brings into the mix.
Fans of the series will attest to the fact that Tomb Raider has got some of the best weapons and fighting that you can find in games.
The original Lara Croft’s signature weapons were a pair of pistols that could be modified and enhanced with increased firepower through the game’s progression.
She could also acquire further weapons as players got further into the game.
For me, these weapons were a great motivating factor that made me want to keep playing the games more and more.
The new series takes this factor and dials it up many notches.
The Bow and arrow mechanic introduced in the new games is spectacular, to say the least.
Lara has never been deadlier or more precise in my opinion.
I can’t express just how great it felt taking down hordes of enemies with my bow.
Still, this doesn’t mean that you can’t acquire other weapons at all.
You can scavenge enemies and use their weapons as well which is pretty nifty if you ask me.
If you are a fan of demanding and grueling puzzles then congratulations you have come to the right game series.
Tomb Raider involves puzzles that are tough and require genuine deliberation and contemplation prior to attempting and solving them.
The game wants you to think creatively, to find the nuances and specialized mental endeavors necessary for overcoming these puzzles.
There is nothing quite like it and you will understand what it is actually like when you play the games by yourself.
The Story of Tomb Raider has remained consistently intriguing and fantastic.
You will become irrevocably engrossed no matter which game you pick up in regards to this series.
Tomb Raider games have a tendency to get you explicitly indulged and involved in the game.
You actually feel the plight, the intrigue, and the marvel that the story brings to the experience.
Needless to say, this is one game that fulfills the demands of story and gameplay fully.
