These games will always hold a special place in my heart. My mother passed away in 2015. She loved playing Tomb Raider starting with the first one. I would always help her get past a hard part but she always beat each game. I miss you mom.

@@adityazombie2797 Some dorks just hate on anything new lol I played the originals as a kid and have been a fan since and I say the newest reboot series are some of the best games out there in general
@zombie2797 It was fine but it's just not the Tomb Raider people know and love, in fact it doesn't feel like Tomb Raider at all, that's why they shit on it. Imagine if Counter Strike put out Counter Strike 3 where you sail the high seas in search of treasure in teams of 5, you may or may not encounter another team, it could be a good game but it wouldn't be Counter Strike, would it? TOMB EXPLORING is optional in the game called TOMB RAIDER, come on.
You really think that people back then were so stupid to think that those graphics were life-like? They knew that it's low-poly and triangular. It was not the realism that made them amazed in the graphics, it was the idea that your home machine can provide 3D-graphics for an interactive experience, back in the time when everything 3D looked so otherworldy and unique. 3D was the thing back then not because it seemed like a thing out of this world, not as something realistic.
It doesn't matter how many new graphics they got, doesn't matter new lara's moves or new weapons... What we felt the first time we saw that Trex or the Egypt's mummies isn't bought with modern graphics.
Lara Croft has evolved from a swashbuckling adventurer that spends most of the time exploring and solving puzzles to a special forces operator that spends most of the time on kill missions.
It's an example of how games over the course of time have become dumbed down and with peoples lower attention span developers think you need to be constantly shooting and killing.
@@Streetw1s3r Lara was a triggerhappy, gunwielding, murderous maniac from the start, though. The new games just added stealth kills on top of the Firearms.
I remember back then how happy I was when my father bought me the Legend-Anniversary-Underworld trilogy for my birthday… How many hours I stayed in front of my TV, alone in my bedroom, playing Tomb Raider while the other kids were playing together outside ? These games really get me into Tomb Raider, and I don't regret it !
Back in 1997, Lara Croft was HUGE. Everyone new about her. I think almost everyone had seen the game or played it. That was also the golden years of 3D graphics.
Yeah that trilogy was pinnacle Tomb Raider as far as I'm concerned. I cut my teeth on the very first game, played the heck out of Tomb Taider 2. I beat them all, even the crappy Angel of Darkness, but when it came to Tomb Raider 2013 I totally gave up. I didn't like the new game mechanics. I mean, it's a spectacular looking game, it's just not the Tomb Raider I grew up with.
The first three yeah. The new HD games are more like a mid 2000s Lara Croft but they're more realistic, not just visually but the themes and gameplay too even though the story itself has fantasy elements.
I grew up with the early Tomb Raiders, so they'll always be the best in my eyes, a lot of good memories playing those games. Anything post 4 has been hit and miss imo. The first Tomb Raider really made a mark in the gaming world, there were no games on its level at the time, it was in a league of its own; and it paved the way for a lot of games today.
Idk if you know about this but there is a little easter egg in The Rise of the Tomb Raider. If you go to the mansion and play out the extra games (available in the main menu) You are sent on a extra quest to find your father's will after he "shot himself" because her uncle is trying to take the mansion from her. Anyways one of the notes found along the way is Winston writing to Lara's father talking about how she locked him in the freezer. This was obviously when Lara was a little kid but it made me smile because after Lara read it she said something like "Winston was so good to me I cant believe I was such a brat" And I just knew that in that moment Lara was calling me a brat. Lol
I dont know why but I still enjoy the graphics from TR 2 and 3, I find the levels both beautiful and enjoyable today, that classic look, the menu screen, the music.
Great video! You chose the scenes perfectly, not only shows the difference in the evolution of the graphics of the game but also the game play. Lara went from primarily running around, exploring ect, to being more ‘gung ho’ focused and you captured that perfectly.
Gosh that was a trip down memory lane.... why are there tears in my eyes??? The only problem I have with the newer games is that they seem more focused on Lara's survival and fighting off enemies, than it is about exploring tombs/ruins and discovering how to complete the puzzles and tasks. I miss the multiple locations, the scenery, how most of the time it was just you, Lara, her agility, and your determination. I have such a nostalgic feeling for the earlier games because of that. Yes, the graphics were what they were but the gameplay and plots was quintessentially Lara Croft. The Underworld Trilogy was pretty good at marrying together the feeling of the earlier games with the quality of the newer ones... Just my opinion as a longtime Lara Croft fan and player.
Estoy de acuerdo, tomb raider es mas de exploración y acertijos con una pizca de accion, estan metiendo mucha accion, aunque es buena, pero que no pierda lo principal que son las tumbas. Tambien le falta exploracion acuática y una pequeña persecusión en auto o moto 😅
@@lekshmipriya6068 hahahaha that WOULD be epic, yes, but alas, no it's not my real last name 😂 I wish lol no, I made this account during my OBSESSION with Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy and now it's stuck lol
Those earlier games (96 and 98) were by far the most fun to play, even though they lacked the spectacular graphics they have now--more challenging because they involved thinking and problem solving, and weren't so much of a shoot 'em up game.
those old ones were way easier lmao. puzzels in games from the 90s and early 2000s were simple. devs didnt know how to make a challenging puzzle back then.
@@flighted2513, “boomers booming,” how clever from someone who belongs to a generation known for overdocumenting their lack of actual achievement on social media.
For me the best games are the ones made by Core Design especially the Last Revelation. It had the most epic story line, music and puzzles. Loved how you could move back and forth between the levels/locations. The locations were wonderful and very well designed too. My favorite were the Alexandria levels, with the catacombs, the flooded buildings, the underwater palace of Cleopatra, the lost library with the awesome and mind boggling puzzles/ traps behind each door ❤️
No one gonna appreciate legend? Ducati superbikes, awesome engaging cinematics with the buttons you gotta press in time, slow motion Flip and shoot. Great voice acting and the jump in graphics from Angel of darkness to legend was awesome, with a great story line to match it.
Legend was so cool, it's too bad the game was short af because I beat it the same day I bought it XD Seriously, England level was the coolest, and creepiest :)
Legend is my favorite 😍😍 but for me Lara is dead with underworld... Because they killed her badass personality... There are no more complicated mysteries the game is all about killing people...
Meh... My childhood was playing the TRL demo which used to run from beginning to that big hall with a see saw to launch the 2 crates on the upper platform. All I did was play that ahain and again and... XD
My very first pc game, it was a gift from my older brother, still remember the cheat code, something like “hold the candle and rotate 360 three times then jump backwards to get all the weapons, or jump forward to skip the level, and I always stuck at the deep sea level, because I can’t jump. Good memories.
One thing I like about the new reboot (starting from the Rise of the Tomb Raider) is the ability to unfold the story by reading documents, relics, and exploring optional tombs. I also like the new language skills and riddle solving (in Shadow of the Tomb Raider), as all these details make us believe Lara actually has an archeologist background, and not just someone who demolishes ancient ruins or indirectly erases walking, living fossil such as Jacob from the planet.
@@mucicafrajer They were fleshed out in the latter two titles. The 2013 one established the formula but it was not nearly as good as the later ones imo.
Best : Tomb Raider 2, Tomb Raider 1, Tomb Raider 3 and Tomb Raider 4 / PS1 from 1996 - 1999 best period puzzling, exploring, climbing amazing games back then 😀
I read somewhere that Angel Of Darkness wasn't even supposed to be out because it was a test for the Legend title and meccanism, but they let it out because hype was creating hysteria in fans
I agree. Good thing fans have somewhat fixed the controls better in the pc port. You can also have the dual pistols using the utility configuration that fans also provided.
I always loved the Tomb Raider games. The new ones look amazing, but there are so many human opponent. Lara was turned into a female Rambo as she must have massacred 100+ humans. So if they ever make new TR then they should include more animal / mythological enemies, but not humans, please.
@@teofilusnatanael7811 But it's still high on fantasy, and that's a good thing. Immortal Byzantines and Japanese warriors, ancient monstrous Peru guardians, tools that affect the galaxy and the sun, living gods and goddesses. There's countless examples. They could've done far more with that fantasy aspect. We're visiting uncharted locations in all three games, places only ancient natives are familiar with. They could've added plenty of mythological and historical creatures, and it would've been perfectly fine. The new games' realism is because of a stronger focus on narrative and character, but it's still unrealistic, so why not use that fact? I love the new games, but by far the best aspects to them was the unknown, and they did far too little with it. They peaked with the introduction of the Oni. That was Tomb Raider at its best. They achieved it once more with Jacob and the Deathless. But that's it. Beyond that it was just a well executed race against other humans. Good, and enjoyable, but lacking compared to their fantastical elements.
I blame Uncharted for that personally. The newer ones took a lot of elements from Uncharted and it inevitably led to a watering down of the exploration-heavy actual tomb raiding gameplay of the earlier games.
I’m a big TR fan and I love them. You can’t compare the reboot games to old ones cause technology has changed a lot, And people’s expectations of games have changed so they’ve had too change with the times and make games people will buy. I can appreciate both the old and new elements of gameplay in the reboot, and can’t wait to see what they do with Shadow Of A Tomb Raider and more in the future.
I feel like people are so disapointed with this game because Lara isn't as wise, composed or focused on the raiding. I think people forget these are prequels. In the old games, she was an established adventurer if you will. She knew what she was searching for, what answers she wanted, and how to get them. In the first game of the reboot, that was THE first adventure she went on. In the second part of the reboot, she was just as scared and new to it but had that confidence that was starting to become familiar. In this game, there is the turning point that is supposed to trasform her from a young adult to The TOMB RAIDER. It would be silly for a prequel to make a young adult who has never done any of this before act as if she knew how to explore the most advanced of tombs, or even make her act as if she wanted to. I get most people dont like prequels, but don't hate on them when they aren't supposed to replicate the previous games. I played both the old and the new, and I respect every aspect of both of them. I think that's because I know what to expect. If you don't like the reboot, just wait until the next series comes out where she is the new and redefined Tomb Raider. She hasn't quite earned that title yet, give it time (as far as the reboot goes).
Nice comment, I didn't like the new franchise at all. They took away Lara's sex appeal and Iconic look. If this is a reboot then there maybe no chance that she becomes back to what made her an icon in the first place. I do hope your right about these being prequels, however 3 games in my patients is over. I want busty, globe trotting, attitude having Lara Back, not this mousey boring to look at murder machine.
HN if it’s really the triangular tits you’re missing, just go back and play the old games. That kinda theme doesn’t fit the next gen graphics ideal. I agree with people who hate her whining, but people who are actually upset in a improvement upon realism? Go back to homeroom schoolboy ;)
after the "origin trilogy" is over with shadow being the last, I hope we finally get to see the series somewhat going back to its roots, like mix the old and the new styles so we'd get the heavy puzzle solving, actual tomb raiding and isolation back but use modern day fluid controls and make it less trial and error, the dual pistols need a comeback
TheRavendude23 Aight, Imma draw some porn of Old Lara humping Reboot’s Lara with Old Lara equipped with her iconic dual pistols full of bullets that can hump people in pain.
Lara is a historical win. The most badass female character in videogame, and even despite all the hate and sexism they must have received from the gaming community at the time, she still made it and became one of the most legendary characters, became a classic of videogame. Forever my favorite franchise.
Wtf you talking about sexism and hate? Most of the gamers from that time were boys, most girls didn't even like to play vIdeogames when the first game was released. This whole talk about sexism and hate is pure bs. If Lara Croft is the most badass of games, is due to the fact that MENS uplift her at this podium, not womans wich at that time were the true sexists who despise boys who play videogames.
Back in the days no one considered Tombraider to be a sexist video game. It was well recieved among boys, girls didn't play much back then thankfully. So Lara having big boobs was normal, nothing to it at all. But nowadays, in this pc society, she looks like plain jane to keep the feminists from going bananas
Can't believe 21 morons like that idiotic comment. Must be 20 something kids or I hope there's no one older than 30 who did. Gamers never cared about gender of characters back then that's all modern political driven BS to separate people. You want sexism, go look at the Angelina Jolie movie and her laughable fake boobs she used for those movies. Absolutely awful and dumb but place that blame on Hollywood.
@@nic_7130 tru felt quite tasteless after zip nd alister stopped talking to lara through headset. Lol she asked them to mute forever at the final boss battle of TRL
yasin karami the old games was mind blowing back in day still fun to play now actually .first 3 was the best in my opinion .people complain about the controls but I think the controls are fine .give them ago ignoring the graphics .dont watch walk throughs on them and play it like many of us did back in day we’re we had to work out for our selfs what to do unless people had books but some of us did not and we had work shit out for our selfs great games and a great challenge
Coco Bear I agree with the story it makes sense Cos tomb raider originals story was not great I just feel the newer tomb raiders are a lot like uncharted I prefer uncharted more and I feel that newer tomb raiders dose not have interesting scenery though.
Coco Bear first game I played was in 1992 duck hunt at my friends and Mario .and a few weeks later my parents bought me one .then I got Super Nintendo and master system and mega drive but when PlayStation was born it was mind blowing going from sega and Nintendo to a PlayStation was a massive jump in graphics and gameplay games became violent and it was great at the time time .i remember the demo for tomb raider I was blown away how amazing the graphics was and how cool it was Cos back then it was so unique I would play the demo a lot and I waited for the full game to finally come out .
@Coco Bear You're wrong. You grown up with the new gen of this game or what? TB 2013 is not a true TB. Its just a copie of its competitor. I'll have to tell you, play the old ones and you SEE what I mean..
The controls, graphics, and those two desert eagles in those first Tomb Raider games on the original PlayStation will always hold a special place in my heart.
The first two games were magical. The way your character moves, climbs, swims... It was something new and amazing. I loved those games. I didn't have time to try the last ones (although I did buy them), but I've heard they are also quite good (nevermind the modern graphics, of course).
the controlls brrrrrr.... but i hope i can manage to see past it until i finish the game... gonna be a though one cuz constantly wanna give up this POS lolz
The new tomb raiders are just constant fighting, what happened to the odd fight and constant puzzles, really miss the proper tomb raiders, what about remaking the originals with 2018 graphics I personally would buy the whole collection if you did that
julie parker Well due to the technology,studios, and creators, they think it’s wise to put more fighting because that’s how you get more experience and other things than raiding tombs most likely I know most of this because I’m a big fan I guess but yea I guess that’s what’s happening
Riven TheHomoExile Bitching and crying that something is too high,heavy breathing and moaning,making a scene during the whole gameplay until the last but as fight is not my definition of nerves of steel.
hmm that happens actually quite rarely in comparison to the rest of the game. sorry you didn't want a human character. 90 percent of the human population would be x1000 worse. not sure if you played the recent game but the lady literally rises from a lake of fire and proceeds to fight a helicopter with a machine gun firing at her, a tank firing at her, and being surrounded by soldiers. but ya know.
Riven TheHomoExile Lara from the first tr game is human and shows enough emotion for a traveler who knows a thing or two about survival. She risked her life to save her travel guide and to stop Natla. Even when she went with Von Croy as a 16 year old she wasn’t this Winey. Not all women have to moan and grunt all the time to let the player know she’s human. The developers even said that they want the players to feel like they need to protect her while the old Lara could do her own stuff and you would love to have her as a playable character in every adventure game. You don’t get that with the new Lara ,you rather shove a gag in her mouth.
With the hand of core design we had the best tombraiders, the original is the pillar. Now is not tombraider is a mix between assassins creed, uncharged, farcry. I missed the old school
It feels it was like yesterday when i first got this game! I’m not a kid anymore but the love of this game and the memories of that time is carved in my heart .
Tomb Raider II (1997) was my first PlayStation game ever. So it holds a special place in my heart. My 2nd favourite would be the Anniversary (2007). The original Lara with updated graphics and gameplay with no fuss (no crafting/levelling up nonsense). Perfect. The new Lara is too overthought and she's missing her swagger. Not a big fan.
Lol. I was started by how much different the first ones were. I've only played the one shown in the first clip of 2013, and the ones in the last clip, the shadow and the rise of tomb raider.
Yeah, no, I like to actually be able to aim at what I'm shooting, thanks. 1996 tomb raider is trashy auto aim garbage, that has aged very poorly, just like a lot of the very early 3D games.
It’s so weird to me that the media thinks gamers care about race or gender. The only time gamers care about race or gender is when that choice effects stats. Khagitt are the superior race.
Yup! Agreed! I remember getting the Sega Saturn just to buy Tomb Raider because it was the first console to have it . The enigmas were so much more challenging!!
@Mark Marvan Save your breath mate, there's no point sometimes, sadly. These idiots have their nostalgia glasses on too tight. Yeah I enjoyed the original titles when they were released too... but to say that ANY of them are better in ANY capacity than the reboots is just childish and stupid.
Despite of all the controversy regarding the development of TRA, as a Tomb Raider game, Anniversary is a successful marriage between classic Tomb Raider exploration-based gameplay and the new physics-based gameplay popular at the time. I wish more people can try it out before they pass on the judgement. TRA is also the most Tomb Raider experience Core Design has created so far, although I do like some of the games in the newest reboot.
I also like Legend, Anniversary and Underworld alot! I was really excited to play AoD when it came out cause I have all 5 of the PS1 TR games and am a Hugh Tomb Raider Lara Croft fan! But there were so many bugs & glitches that I couldn't play it, and also I didn't like how they totally changed the controls and Lara seemed to move so slowly...I was really disappointed that they didn't fix these issues before they shipped the game :(
Right there with you. To me, the evolution stopped after Underworld. It sidestepped a bit with the two Lara Croft games ( Guardian of Light, Temple of Osiris) where we still had the Lara we know and love, but shown from a distance away. The recent crop of Tomb Raider games is nothing but SJW horsecrap. SJW's: Let's take a classy, intelligent, scholarly, capable character who just happens to be sexy and sure of herself to boot, and turn her into a waifish shadow of her former self. Let's put more clothes on her because she's three-quarters naked by our "enlightened" standards. And let's have her say "f**k" a lot, because that's what strong female characters do. They say "f**k".... a lot! So, in their view, a woman who wears short shorts, a tank top, boots, has big tits, and wields guns is somehow 3/4 naked? Girls wear far less than that on a beach (and in general public, a lot of times). Even Lara's swimsuit in Underworld was fairly conservative compared to what you might see on girls in real life. Lara Croft, RIP 1996-2008. A life cut short.
Huge fan since the very first game. But only played the first three games, then I was playing Counter Strike and later WoW. Started playing Tomb Raider in 2013 when the new game released and felt absolutely in love again and love the new three titles. I don't have that much time to spare anymore but started to replay the titles I've never played (the last revelation onwards).
@Jon M I'm hoping that we see Lara's character develop into that later on in the games. I'll give her a pass for the past three games because she's still young and inexperienced in her adventures. I'd like to see a game where she stops being guilt ridden and puts her past behind her, and develops into the Lara everyone knows and loves.
@@thexcaliber955 Same here! Tomb Raider II was the first one that I ever played and it's still my favorite. That last level where Lara has to defend herself from the bad guys breaking in is the best.
I gotta say my favorites have always been Anniversary and Legend. I feel like they kinda ruined her "aesthetic" and just her overall character with the new game. The iconic pistols and long braid are gone. Her intelligence and the way she handles things. She's just a serial killer at this point. I hope they bring everything back to normal.
multifandom potato she’s much better now since she’s a relatable badass human archeologist. The old one was just a boring sex object and was barely a character. You nostalgia freaks need to shut up
The graphics evolved, but the concept and character devolved. Lara used to be a badass independant woman who rebelled against her upper-class upbringing to have her own adventures.
I have to disagree, all that the new games have done is made the chatacters and gameplay more realistic. For me the new Lara seems more human and sympathetic compared to the old one, yet still she remained mature, mentally strong and yes, badass.
She isn't necessarily realistic, more like average. There are extraordinary people out there doing extraordinary things in extraordinary ways, it's just that Lara isn't that kind of person in the reboots
By the logic of most... Uncharted looks like Tomb raider wich looks like Assassin's creed wich looks like splinter cell wich's looks like metal gear, while Sleeping dogs looks like gta, Golden sun looks like final fantasy, Assassin's Creed Origins/Odissey looks like The wicther 3....until we came to space paranoids...If we follow this line of logic, then everything in this world is a copy, stop comparisons and have fun.. ''Nothing is lost , nothing is created everything is transformed'' - Antoine Lavoisier
Aww... memories. ☺ Man, I wish they would redo the first game with today's graphics (Anniversary just doesn't do it justice). The original Atlantis story was soooo cool!
Anniversary and Underworld are still the best of the series. I don't care about newer graphics, gameplay was spectacular. Lots of puzzels and stunts, some shooting here and there. It was really something else.
Tomb Raider will always be and always has been my absolute favourite game franchise. It's old enough to be beautifully nostalgic and new enough to have that new wow feeling when you first start playing an amazing game or when you watch a great movie for the first time. That wonder when you're playing. Now imagine a brand new Tomb Raider game on new generation consoles. Imagine it on PlayStation 5, geez, I can't even imagine all the amazing details in the environments and character models. The potential with the puzzles, the complexity of problem-solving. The sheer masterpieces that can be created in Tomb Raider!
Oh Lara ... do you remember back in 1996? You and me together ... all the adventures. But at some point it was not the same as before and I left you alone. Jill Valentine had conquered my heart. and now I see you after all these years and realize what has become of you. Now I wonder if we might want to experience some adventures together again?
These games will always hold a special place in my heart. My mother passed away in 2015. She loved playing Tomb Raider starting with the first one. I would always help her get past a hard part but she always beat each game. I miss you mom.
keep ya head up

The first three yeah. The new HD games are more like a mid 2000s Lara Croft but they're more realistic, not just visually but the themes and gameplay too even though the story itself has fantasy elements.
It's the other way around, actually. She WAS a Rambo, and the reboot since 2013 made her more like a relic hunter

SkyOut This is sadder than Alexa plays Despacito! Lara has been forced to kill so many people
right, but she didn't hack men's balls off, just hearing the video of her killing is disgusting.
the realism is fine, but the direction they took Lara into is the bad part. realism doesn't mean ugly.
She actually kills way less in the new games.
You just get to see it up close :)
Yes, when did Lara turn into a Ninja? I can play other games for stealth.

I grew up with the early Tomb Raiders, so they'll always be the best in my eyes, a lot of good memories playing those games. Anything post 4 has been hit and miss imo. The first Tomb Raider really made a mark in the gaming world, there were no games on its level at the time, it was in a league of its own; and it paved the way for a lot of games today.
Anyone else remember trapping the butler in the freezer
Yea it was fun
Everyday!!! Hahaha hahaha it was the best!!! And the fun training park outside in the garden..
Idk if you know about this but there is a little easter egg in The Rise of the Tomb Raider.
If you go to the mansion and play out the extra games (available in the main menu)
You are sent on a extra quest to find your father's will after he "shot himself" because her uncle is trying to take the mansion from her.
Anyways one of the notes found along the way is Winston writing to Lara's father talking about how she locked him in the freezer.
This was obviously when Lara was a little kid but it made me smile because after Lara read it she said something like "Winston was so good to me I cant believe I was such a brat"
And I just knew that in that moment Lara was calling me a brat. Lol
Yeah always he used to freak me out.
Yeeee x)
I dont know why but I still enjoy the graphics from TR 2 and 3, I find the levels both beautiful and enjoyable today, that classic look, the menu screen, the music.
Tomb Raider Anniversary - Best Tomb Raider Ever!
Agreee
Agreed I’m replaying it currently 😌💅🏻
tru
That one’s also my favorite.
i finished that game for like 7 times... its sooo good 10/10
Great video! You chose the scenes perfectly, not only shows the difference in the evolution of the graphics of the game but also the game play. Lara went from primarily running around, exploring ect, to being more ‘gung ho’ focused and you captured that perfectly.
Gosh that was a trip down memory lane.... why are there tears in my eyes???
The only problem I have with the newer games is that they seem more focused on Lara's survival and fighting off enemies, than it is about exploring tombs/ruins and discovering how to complete the puzzles and tasks. I miss the multiple locations, the scenery, how most of the time it was just you, Lara, her agility, and your determination. I have such a nostalgic feeling for the earlier games because of that. Yes, the graphics were what they were but the gameplay and plots was quintessentially Lara Croft. The Underworld Trilogy was pretty good at marrying together the feeling of the earlier games with the quality of the newer ones... Just my opinion as a longtime Lara Croft fan and player.
Estoy de acuerdo, tomb raider es mas de exploración y acertijos con una pizca de accion, estan metiendo mucha accion, aunque es buena, pero que no pierda lo principal que son las tumbas. Tambien le falta exploracion acuática y una pequeña persecusión en auto o moto 😅

Those earlier games (96 and 98) were by far the most fun to play, even though they lacked the spectacular graphics they have now--more challenging because they involved thinking and problem solving, and weren't so much of a shoot 'em up game.
those old ones were way easier lmao. puzzels in games from the 90s and early 2000s were simple. devs didnt know how to make a challenging puzzle back then.

For me the best games are the ones made by Core Design especially the Last Revelation. It had the most epic story line, music and puzzles. Loved how you could move back and forth between the levels/locations. The locations were wonderful and very well designed too. My favorite were the Alexandria levels, with the catacombs, the flooded buildings, the underwater palace of Cleopatra, the lost library with the awesome and mind boggling puzzles/ traps behind each door ❤️

No one gonna appreciate legend? Ducati superbikes, awesome engaging cinematics with the buttons you gotta press in time, slow motion Flip and shoot. Great voice acting and the jump in graphics from Angel of darkness to legend was awesome, with a great story line to match it.

Legend was so cool, it's too bad the game was short af because I beat it the same day I bought it XD Seriously, England level was the coolest, and creepiest :)

Good memories.
One thing I like about the new reboot (starting from the Rise of the Tomb Raider) is the ability to unfold the story by reading documents, relics, and exploring optional tombs. I also like the new language skills and riddle solving (in Shadow of the Tomb Raider), as all these details make us believe Lara actually has an archeologist background, and not just someone who demolishes ancient ruins or indirectly erases walking, living fossil such as Jacob from the planet.
Wdym, the tomb raider game from 2013 also had these features my man
@@mucicafrajer They were fleshed out in the latter two titles. The 2013 one established the formula but it was not nearly as good as the later ones imo.

@@PatchyE When you learn meaning 'reboot' you will see how misplaced his comment is.
1st game is also very good btw
The optional tombs are fun. I love them for the puzzle aspect.
Best : Tomb Raider 2, Tomb Raider 1, Tomb Raider 3 and Tomb Raider 4 / PS1 from 1996 - 1999 best period puzzling, exploring, climbing amazing games back then 😀
TOTAL agreement should be reformatted to play as original on the new systems not remakes that are no were near as good as first 4 games
savariaxa i agree
They should make a re-make version.
For me nothing beats the first game. 2 was great, for interesting, but 1 has it for me. Playing it again on my vita 😊
1, 3 and 4 are good games.
Angel of Darkness was the best storyline. However the controls were excruciating.
I read somewhere that Angel Of Darkness wasn't even supposed to be out because it was a test for the Legend title and meccanism, but they let it out because hype was creating hysteria in fans
The story was fascinating.
The story was really good, but the controls.., even going up the stairs was a challenge xD
I agree. Good thing fans have somewhat fixed the controls better in the pc port. You can also have the dual pistols using the utility configuration that fans also provided.
I loved AOD, just wish they didn't rush it
It is a great compilation! It truly gives a full picture. Thank you for uploading this.
I always loved the Tomb Raider games. The new ones look amazing, but there are so many human opponent. Lara was turned into a female Rambo as she must have massacred 100+ humans. So if they ever make new TR then they should include more animal / mythological enemies, but not humans, please.
Maybe just to put some realistic adventure, not the fantasy anymore
@@teofilusnatanael7811 But it's still high on fantasy, and that's a good thing. Immortal Byzantines and Japanese warriors, ancient monstrous Peru guardians, tools that affect the galaxy and the sun, living gods and goddesses. There's countless examples.
They could've done far more with that fantasy aspect. We're visiting uncharted locations in all three games, places only ancient natives are familiar with. They could've added plenty of mythological and historical creatures, and it would've been perfectly fine. The new games' realism is because of a stronger focus on narrative and character, but it's still unrealistic, so why not use that fact?
I love the new games, but by far the best aspects to them was the unknown, and they did far too little with it. They peaked with the introduction of the Oni. That was Tomb Raider at its best. They achieved it once more with Jacob and the Deathless. But that's it. Beyond that it was just a well executed race against other humans. Good, and enjoyable, but lacking compared to their fantastical elements.
I blame Uncharted for that personally. The newer ones took a lot of elements from Uncharted and it inevitably led to a watering down of the exploration-heavy actual tomb raiding gameplay of the earlier games.

I’m a big TR fan and I love them. You can’t compare the reboot games to old ones cause technology has changed a lot, And people’s expectations of games have changed so they’ve had too change with the times and make games people will buy. I can appreciate both the old and new elements of gameplay in the reboot, and can’t wait to see what they do with Shadow Of A Tomb Raider and more in the future.
Clokki Agreed. 2013 Reboot had great ideas but too much combat. We are now getting more refined versions of it.
Didn’t like the reboot from 2013 but I LOVED Rise Of The Tomb Raider and looking forward to Shadow Of The Tomb Raider
Love them all!! Yes, they've changed, but they are all amazing, the stories, the puzzles, the outfits and everything! Lara is the best!!
So many childhood flashbacks.
I feel like people are so disapointed with this game because Lara isn't as wise, composed or focused on the raiding. I think people forget these are prequels. In the old games, she was an established adventurer if you will. She knew what she was searching for, what answers she wanted, and how to get them. In the first game of the reboot, that was THE first adventure she went on. In the second part of the reboot, she was just as scared and new to it but had that confidence that was starting to become familiar. In this game, there is the turning point that is supposed to trasform her from a young adult to The TOMB RAIDER. It would be silly for a prequel to make a young adult who has never done any of this before act as if she knew how to explore the most advanced of tombs, or even make her act as if she wanted to. I get most people dont like prequels, but don't hate on them when they aren't supposed to replicate the previous games. I played both the old and the new, and I respect every aspect of both of them. I think that's because I know what to expect. If you don't like the reboot, just wait until the next series comes out where she is the new and redefined Tomb Raider. She hasn't quite earned that title yet, give it time (as far as the reboot goes).
Nice comment, I didn't like the new franchise at all. They took away Lara's sex appeal and Iconic look. If this is a reboot then there maybe no chance that she becomes back to what made her an icon in the first place. I do hope your right about these being prequels, however 3 games in my patients is over. I want busty, globe trotting, attitude having Lara Back, not this mousey boring to look at murder machine.
stop trolling, you suck at it.
Go back to bed kid
Shadow is the 3rd game now - where is the evolution of Lara? She's whiny as she was in the first. No sign of a Lady, just of a brute serial killer.
HN if it’s really the triangular tits you’re missing, just go back and play the old games. That kinda theme doesn’t fit the next gen graphics ideal. I agree with people who hate her whining, but people who are actually upset in a improvement upon realism? Go back to homeroom schoolboy ;)
The firs few tomb raiders were really difficult compared to the more recent ones.
after the "origin trilogy" is over with shadow being the last, I hope we finally get to see the series somewhat going back to its roots, like mix the old and the new styles so we'd get the heavy puzzle solving, actual tomb raiding and isolation back but use modern day fluid controls and make it less trial and error, the dual pistols need a comeback
with her Iconic look and boobs, very important!
And big awesome tits.

Lara is a historical win. The most badass female character in videogame, and even despite all the hate and sexism they must have received from the gaming community at the time, she still made it and became one of the most legendary characters, became a classic of videogame. Forever my favorite franchise.
Wtf you talking about sexism and hate? Most of the gamers from that time were boys, most girls didn't even like to play vIdeogames when the first game was released.
This whole talk about sexism and hate is pure bs.
If Lara Croft is the most badass of games, is due to the fact that MENS uplift her at this podium, not womans wich at that time were the true sexists who despise boys who play videogames.
Back in the days no one considered Tombraider to be a sexist video game. It was well recieved among boys, girls didn't play much back then thankfully.
So Lara having big boobs was normal, nothing to it at all.
But nowadays, in this pc society, she looks like plain jane to keep the feminists from going bananas
I never seen anyone hate Lara ☠️, stop with that sexism bullshit already
Can't believe 21 morons like that idiotic comment.
Must be 20 something kids or I hope there's no one older than 30 who did.
Gamers never cared about gender of characters back then that's all modern political driven BS to separate people.
You want sexism, go look at the Angelina Jolie movie and her laughable fake boobs she used for those movies. Absolutely awful and dumb but place that blame on Hollywood.

Coco Bear I agree with the story it makes sense Cos tomb raider originals story was not great I just feel the newer tomb raiders are a lot like uncharted I prefer uncharted more and I feel that newer tomb raiders dose not have interesting scenery though.
Coco Bear first game I played was in 1992 duck hunt at my friends and Mario .and a few weeks later my parents bought me one .then I got Super Nintendo and master system and mega drive but when PlayStation was born it was mind blowing going from sega and Nintendo to a PlayStation was a massive jump in graphics and gameplay games became violent and it was great at the time time .i remember the demo for tomb raider I was blown away how amazing the graphics was and how cool it was Cos back then it was so unique I would play the demo a lot and I waited for the full game to finally come out .
TR 2013 is shit comparing with the original saga.
@Coco Bear You're wrong. You grown up with the new gen of this game or what? TB 2013 is not a true TB. Its just a copie of its competitor. I'll have to tell you, play the old ones and you SEE what I mean..

Hell to the ya!
julie parker Well due to the technology,studios, and creators, they think it’s wise to put more fighting because that’s how you get more experience and other things than raiding tombs most likely I know most of this because I’m a big fan I guess but yea I guess that’s what’s happening
I wished they kept Laras personality, I always admired her nerves of steel during dangerous adventures.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? SHE STILL HAS NERVES OF STEEL! LMAO
Riven TheHomoExile Bitching and crying that something is too high,heavy breathing and moaning,making a scene during the whole gameplay until the last but as fight is not my definition of nerves of steel.
hmm that happens actually quite rarely in comparison to the rest of the game. sorry you didn't want a human character. 90 percent of the human population would be x1000 worse. not sure if you played the recent game but the lady literally rises from a lake of fire and proceeds to fight a helicopter with a machine gun firing at her, a tank firing at her, and being surrounded by soldiers. but ya know.
Riven TheHomoExile Lara from the first tr game is human and shows enough emotion for a traveler who knows a thing or two about survival. She risked her life to save her travel guide and to stop Natla. Even when she went with Von Croy as a 16 year old she wasn’t this Winey. Not all women have to moan and grunt all the time to let the player know she’s human. The developers even said that they want the players to feel like they need to protect her while the old Lara could do her own stuff and you would love to have her as a playable character in every adventure game. You don’t get that with the new Lara ,you rather shove a gag in her mouth.

Despite of all the controversy regarding the development of TRA, as a Tomb Raider game, Anniversary is a successful marriage between classic Tomb Raider exploration-based gameplay and the new physics-based gameplay popular at the time. I wish more people can try it out before they pass on the judgement. TRA is also the most Tomb Raider experience Core Design has created so far, although I do like some of the games in the newest reboot.
My favs are Legend, Anniversary and Underworld. I think AoD is overly hated too. I love the game but maybe that's because of nostalgia.
I also like Legend, Anniversary and Underworld alot!
I was really excited to play AoD when it came out cause I have all 5 of the PS1 TR games and am a Hugh Tomb Raider Lara Croft fan!
But there were so many bugs & glitches that I couldn't play it, and also I didn't like how they totally changed the controls and Lara seemed to move so slowly...I was really disappointed that they didn't fix these issues before they shipped the game :(
ZomBee the developers got rushed. If they werenr rushed and the game was fully finished, it probably would have been one of the best tomb raider games
I know it would have been really good if they never rushed it
So disappointed as a Tomb Raider fan
i agree 2008 is good too
Right there with you. To me, the evolution stopped after Underworld. It sidestepped a bit with the two Lara Croft games ( Guardian of Light, Temple of Osiris) where we still had the Lara we know and love, but shown from a distance away. The recent crop of Tomb Raider games is nothing but SJW horsecrap.
SJW's:
Let's take a classy, intelligent, scholarly, capable character who just happens to be sexy and sure of herself to boot, and turn her into a waifish shadow of her former self. Let's put more clothes on her because she's three-quarters naked by our "enlightened" standards. And let's have her say "f**k" a lot, because that's what strong female characters do. They say "f**k".... a lot!
So, in their view, a woman who wears short shorts, a tank top, boots, has big tits, and wields guns is somehow 3/4 naked? Girls wear far less than that on a beach (and in general public, a lot of times). Even Lara's swimsuit in Underworld was fairly conservative compared to what you might see on girls in real life.
Lara Croft, RIP 1996-2008. A life cut short.
Huge fan since the very first game. But only played the first three games, then I was playing Counter Strike and later WoW. Started playing Tomb Raider in 2013 when the new game released and felt absolutely in love again and love the new three titles. I don't have that much time to spare anymore but started to replay the titles I've never played (the last revelation onwards).
I miss the old gameplay :(
Still pray for the day the OG Lara Crofy comes back
It is in the 2018 to Tomb raider once u get to A certain level u can change into tomb raider 2
@@sneezmoney I dont want her as a costume. I want her in a new game with her as the protagonist.
@Jon M I'm hoping that we see Lara's character develop into that later on in the games. I'll give her a pass for the past three games because she's still young and inexperienced in her adventures. I'd like to see a game where she stops being guilt ridden and puts her past behind her, and develops into the Lara everyone knows and loves.
@@praisethesun1172 let’s keep her Natalie Portman face though I Dunno I find og Lara from the 90s kinda ugly.
Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation is the best entry on the franchise. Change my mind.
YESSS but i played the new ones and its sooo good too
I downloaded the game yesterday. I don't care if I've played it a thousand times, it's awesome
nah i loved the second the most its level designs were awesome and story line too
@@thexcaliber955 Same here! Tomb Raider II was the first one that I ever played and it's still my favorite. That last level where Lara has to defend herself from the bad guys breaking in is the best.
Sounds like you have your mind made up. Also who cares.
MEMORIES late nights till 4am trying to beat Tomb Raider, who remember when you had to defend the estate when the bad guys came
I want a Tomb Raider 3 remake with the latest graphics :(((((
Then it would look like Shadow of the TR....Forget it, old games are history, they never will come back.
@@LordPrutsikas Except your wrong.
That endboss was so weird in tr3 crazy looking half schorpion half man.
The last revelation too
Lord Prutsikas resident evil RE2 was a good remake.
I gotta say my favorites have always been Anniversary and Legend. I feel like they kinda ruined her "aesthetic" and just her overall character with the new game. The iconic pistols and long braid are gone. Her intelligence and the way she handles things. She's just a serial killer at this point. I hope they bring everything back to normal.
multifandom potato she’s much better now since she’s a relatable badass human archeologist. The old one was just a boring sex object and was barely a character. You nostalgia freaks need to shut up
The new ones are telling the story of Lara's young adult adventures she will become the woman we know at some point
@12th House Psychic there's everything wrong sexualizing
@12th House Psychic there is wrong with it in general
@12th House Psychic 19 and 29 is wrong, period
Even if I wasn't asexual. It'd be gross
One year younger and it would've been illegal
Let that sink in
I loved "The angel of darkness".
me too
I like what they wanted to do in that game, but not the result that you could buy in stores
Eidos fucked everything up.
Tom raider Anniversary then underworld then whateva put it
No, that game was a freaking disaster. It didn’t even have the same vibe as Tomb Raider. But, I Dunno. People can like stupid thing I guess.
I love the newer games just as much as the older games. Shadow is easily one of my most favorite games of all time
The graphics evolved, but the concept and character devolved. Lara used to be a badass independant woman who rebelled against her upper-class upbringing to have her own adventures.
I have to disagree, all that the new games have done is made the chatacters and gameplay more realistic. For me the new Lara seems more human and sympathetic compared to the old one, yet still she remained mature, mentally strong and yes, badass.
@Tiredofdumbfuks ^ THIS!
1:50 damnn, i loved that music
Yeees so many memories...
I miss *Tomb Raider* doing all those acrobatics; sure the graphics has gotten much better but now she's kinda basic...
Yeah the new game has too much realism for my taste. TR is not supposed to be realistic. Making realistic games is so generic these days.
Welp that’s technology for ya :/
She isn't necessarily realistic, more like average. There are extraordinary people out there doing extraordinary things in extraordinary ways, it's just that Lara isn't that kind of person in the reboots
@@JoximusARTpage Exactly! So spot on! 👏👏👏
the title said 2023 but the video was uploaded 6 years ago.Something is not adding up
Yea wtf
My best :
1. 1997 Tomb Raider II
2. 2013 Tomb Raider
3. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
"Tomb Raider" in 2018 looks like "Assassin's Creed".
I wonder why .... dude assassin`s creed and the tomb raider are made by the same producer Ubisoft.
Tiberiu V. Bro its not ubisoft its square enix and eidos montreal and crystal Dynamics who made sottr
@@nateluthor4643 don't stress too much on kids dude. Every other game is made by either EA or ubisoft according to kids...or at most rockstar
By the logic of most... Uncharted looks like Tomb raider wich looks like Assassin's creed wich looks like splinter cell wich's looks like metal gear, while Sleeping dogs looks like gta, Golden sun looks like final fantasy, Assassin's Creed Origins/Odissey looks like The wicther 3....until we came to space paranoids...If we follow this line of logic, then everything in this world is a copy, stop comparisons and have fun..
''Nothing is lost , nothing is created everything is transformed'' - Antoine Lavoisier
Looks like typical 3rd person shooter
Aww... memories. ☺
Man, I wish they would redo the first game with today's graphics (Anniversary just doesn't do it justice). The original Atlantis story was soooo cool!
Anniversary and Underworld are still the best of the series. I don't care about newer graphics, gameplay was spectacular. Lots of puzzels and stunts, some shooting here and there. It was really something else.
My favourites of the old was Anniversary and Legend, while the new ones it was the island one back in 2013
Tomb Raider will always be and always has been my absolute favourite game franchise. It's old enough to be beautifully nostalgic and new enough to have that new wow feeling when you first start playing an amazing game or when you watch a great movie for the first time. That wonder when you're playing. Now imagine a brand new Tomb Raider game on new generation consoles. Imagine it on PlayStation 5, geez, I can't even imagine all the amazing details in the environments and character models. The potential with the puzzles, the complexity of problem-solving. The sheer masterpieces that can be created in Tomb Raider!
Oh Lara ... do you remember back in 1996? You and me together ... all the adventures. But at some point it was not the same as before and I left you alone. Jill Valentine had conquered my heart. and now I see you after all these years and realize what has become of you. Now I wonder if we might want to experience some adventures together again?
Lol 😂, resident evil guy!!!!
@@krobertson611 yeah ..to me
@@krobertson611 sorry man ..but its true ..you have to accept it.🙂
But she has a look alike twin..so good luck!
