Ruins around the globe, from the Thailand coast to frozen Arctic islands and Mexican jungles, draw Lara Croft in search of the ancient mysteries hidden beneath them. Play centers on exploration: you climb, swing and leap through each environment, and use objects in your surroundings to open up new routes.
Every level works as a multi-stage puzzle, so progress depends as much on reading the space as on quick reflexes. Released in 2008 by Crystal Dynamics, it is a single-player adventure with full controller support. It suits players who enjoy acrobatic traversal and environmental puzzle-solving, and those curious about an earlier chapter in the long-running Tomb Raider series.
