It has been a long time since there was a good Lara Croft game, and in the meantime a new explorer took over. Nathan Drake, and the Uncharted series, has become the gold standard for the action/adventure genre.
Move over Nate, but Lara is back. The 2013 Tomb Raider is an origin tale, telling the tale of Lara on her first adventure where she is a little more confident in making decisions, and being a bit more forceful in her decisons.
As the ship she is on travels into the Devils triangle, it is swept over by a rogue wave, and broken in half, Lara scrambles to get out of the half she is on, and makes a desperate jump to the other half, and is caught, for a second, by Roth, her mentor. It is short lived however, as she falls into the ocean.
When Lara awakes, she is on an island, alone, cold, soaking wet and unsure of where her friends are. Getting her bearings, she hears her friends voices just over a ridge, and she starts to walk towards them, when she is knocked unconscious from behind.
This sets the stage for her tale of escape, puzzle solving, learning to use different weapons, and, most importantly, her first kill.
I won't say much more but it is a fantastic game, with lots to do and lots of treasures to find.
