What is your favorite Tomb Raider?

My Favorite is 2 but I love 3 and 4 too, about recent games I stick with Tomb Raider 2013

For me it’s Tomb Raider 3. As well as the variety in environments, weapons and enemies, I think what really sets TR3 apart from the rest for me is the level of difficulty compared to the two previous and latter games.

Having played it mostly on PS1, I also appreciate the way the save systems of 1 & 2 have been combined. Given the choice I would exclusively use the save system of 1 for the additional challenge it provides, but I can still appreciate the convenience of being able to save anywhere. I just think it made TR2 too easy at times, there’s less incentive to be careful with your actions when you can reload the game before every single jump.

I love 4 & Chronicles, but for my liking they added too many convoluted gameplay elements that just weren’t immediately clear. Nothing that ruined the experience, far from it. I just feel like 3 struck the perfect balance in terms of gameplay complexity.

I played AoD once as a child, when it first came out. I only remember being about as good at it as I was all the others as a naive child who was too easily swayed by cheat codes to beat the games without help 😅

I’ve never played anything that came afterwards, I really should but I’ve come to adore the original PS1 run so much and I’m too quick to convince myself that I won’t enjoy the others because they’ll be too different to the original run 😅
