While fans of the series Tomb Raider complain about insufficient breast size Alicia Vikander, we shook the old days and remembered all 13 games in the series, ranking them from worst to best. Note: we have only selected independent games, which were released on PC and “big” consoles, not counting numerous add-ons, games on Game Boy Advance And mobile phones and other by-products of the series' evolution.
13: Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness
We don't know who CoreDesign came to mind the “brilliant” innovations introduced in the sixth part of the series, but he clearly overplayed his hand in role-playing games. The “fatigue” added to the game completely destroyed all the fun of the game, the masochistic controls killed the very essence of the dashing adventure action, and the bugs completely mixed obscenity with Lara, sectarians, the occult and other Den-Brownism into an unplayable vinaigrette.
12: Tomb Raider:Chronicles
The game, which became a harbinger of the cardinal failure of the sixth part, was characterized as a pathetic attempt to squeeze the last juice (it sounds vulgar, but that’s how it is) from the heroine, who was losing her popularity. Monotonous gameplay, unsightly graphics and a plot devoid of intrigue prepared the series for its fall (fortunately, not final).
11: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
Already in the fourth part there was a feeling that the developers did not know what to surprise the players with, except for a more detailed model main character. One whole new weapon, slightly improved graphics and interesting locations like the Egyptian pyramids are, of course, pluses TheLastRevelation, but there are too few of them to count as the next part Tomb Raider to successful projects Core Design.
10: Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
One of the “non-series” games featuring Lara, which became an additional portion of a good platformer TheGuardianofLight. As in the case of the previous part, it is very much for everyone: those who expect from Lara familiar look from a third person and complex acrobatics, they will not be delighted. However, those who appreciated "Guardian of Light" may be slightly disappointed: there are exactly zero innovations in the game, and a similar trick might not work the second time.
9: Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft
The advantage of the third part is that at the time of its release the traditional scheme, developed in the first part, had not yet become boring to the players, and for the third time the developers successfully used the old techniques - jumping and jumping through caves and tombs, bang-bang from dual pistols and “I looked at the square ass again and fell into the abyss!” But, alas, even then it looked like a simple attempt to make money easily using a successful scheme.
8: Tomb Raider: Underworld
Far from being the worst game in the series, but, unfortunately, the most banal among the second wave of the “restart”. Despite the fact that incredibly cool underwater levels appeared (much larger and more spectacular than in previous parts), otherwise it was an attempt to repeat the success Legend And Anniversary, each of which offered something different. Underworld became just a compilation good ideas, which were not developed further, and as a result the game became just marking time on a successfully occupied place in the sun.
7: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
The first serious experiment with form - and quite successful. By moving Lara into 2.5D isometry and changing the game genre from an action-adventure game to a puzzle platformer, the developers, of course, deprived players of the opportunity to see Lara’s form close-up, but they added a new drive to the series and introduced an extremely appropriate cooperative mode. However, here we must still make allowances for the fact that this is a completely different game than the usual Tomb Raider.
6: Tomb Raider: Legend
A game that divided players into warring camps - some saw in “Legend” a revival of the series and the only Right way its development. Some considered the increased amount of action to be the road to extreme departure from usual standards. And some just sat down and played with pleasure, without thinking about the revolution or degradation of the series. We believe that, at a minimum, "Legend" was able to revive interest in the almost extinct series. Well, she gave one of Lara’s best outfits in the entire history of her existence.
5: Tomb Raider (2013)
The third radical reboot of Lara, which caused an even greater surge of delight and indignation among fans of the series: someone thought that new format“survival” is the final betrayal of traditions and oppression. Everyone else (and these seem to be the majority) really liked the increased level of gloominess of the plot, the oppressive atmosphere and the matured Lara, who finally became like a person, and not like a rubber doll with a size four.
4: TombRaider (1996)
Whatever one may say, even now the very first game in the series, if you make allowance for the fact that it is already 22 years old, looks very cheerful. And, it should be noted, it is many times better than most subsequent parts in the classic series: nothing superfluous, just jump, climb, run and sometimes shoot. Of course, only a nostalgic PSOne gamer born in the 90s will play it now, but the fact that the first part is one of the best (and in general one of the best games that has ever been released) is undeniable.
3: Tomb Raider II The Dagger of Xian
Unconditionally best part throughout the "classic" series. Firstly, the Chinese flavor, which added a completely unique charm to the game. Secondly, the huge dragon at the end. Thirdly, a masterpiece in terms of emotional intensity with a submarine and sharks. Well, those who play “for the sake of boobs” were given a microscopic top in a couple of levels, which revealed Lara by about 50 percent - only in Legend was there more. By the way, it was the second part that fans decided to modernize with a remake, the demo version of which was released last year.
2: Rise of the Tomb Raider
The beauty of the continuation of the “third” restart Tomb Raider It’s not even that the action takes place in Russia. Here the new “realism” of the series is revealed to its fullest: this is the most unfriendly and gloomy of all the games about Lara Croft, and at the same time, charming precisely with its complexity and moderate hardcore. Having developed the ideas of the 2013 game, Crystal Dynamics released the most “humane” and warmest, despite the Siberian cold, game in the series.
1: Tomb Raider:Anniversary
Restarts by restarts, experiments by experiments, but there are people for whom Tomb Raider was and remains what the 1996 original was – very intimate, pure guilty pleasure about beautiful girl, which somewhere far from the world is quietly climbing mountains and ruins and saving the world from another mythological scourge. And in this regard Anniversary- This perfect game: beautiful graphics, the blue top of the English countess and Lara herself with a braid and shorts, making another foray into the most Beautiful places on the planet.
The selection was compiled by a big fan of the series who played the firstTombRaider is still in the antediluvian eraPSOne. The author's opinion may not coincide with yours.
Almost everyone knows the pretty tomb raider, who travels around the world and looks for adventures on her own. Lara Croft doesn't take the easy way out when it comes to finding artifacts of incredible importance. Complex riddles, armed pursuers, overwhelming adrenaline and, in the end, a well-deserved reward - this is what awaits gamers who decide to play as this heroine. But what should you do if you’ve completed all the games about Lara, but you don’t want to start them again? For such a case, there are games very similar to Tomb Raider.
Moreover, we are talking about games similar to the later Tomb Raider, which became a new milestone in the development of the series. The developers decided to restart the franchise, transferring the project to a new cool engine, and creating dizzying locations. Let's see which games can compare with the new Tomb Raider, offering gamers a similar experience!
Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands - the adventures of the Prince
This project is considered one of the most successful in the line and dates back to the period when the franchise was bought out by Ubisoft. If you didn't know, after the failed 3D version of Prince of Persia, its creator decided to completely stop working on the series. Fortunately, having seen the potential of the Prince, specialists from Ubisoft gave him a new life.
The Forgotten Sands has nothing to do with the 2008 game, continuing plot The Sands of Time. At the same time, the projects are connected only by the same setting and main character. According to the plot of the game, the Prince decides to stay with his brother Malik. However, upon arriving at his castle, he discovers that it is under siege by a huge army. Wanting to get rid of all his problems, the naive Prince summons Solomon's army with the help of a mysterious medallion. As a result, the enemies are defeated, but the soldiers of the magical army turn all the inhabitants of the castle into sand statues. The prince needs to deal with this unpleasant situation and find answers to many questions.
Adventure games and third-person shooters have become more popular these days, but The Forgotten Sands also has attractive gameplay features. Here you will move through the levels in arcade mode. You will need to go through complex traps, solve intricate riddles, and also crush the sides of your opponents with the help of acrobatic tricks and special skills. There are also elements of a slasher with an RPG - the game character fights a huge number of enemies, gaining experience and upgrading his skills.
The Prince’s abilities, which correspond to four elements, are worthy of special mention:
- The power of water allows him to freeze liquids, turning them into convenient springboards for movement, and explode ice blocks, causing serious damage to enemies;
- The power of air gives the Prince acceleration, and the air vortex creates a mini-tornado that can throw those around him in different directions;
- The power of the earth helps the hero restore elements of buildings, and also allows the use of stone armor - serious protection in difficult battles;
- Using the powers of fire, the Prince throws enemies aside or simply damages them.
By controlling the elements competently, you can easily cope with the most complex tasks. True, for this you will have to train well and pump up several levels.
Thief - new beginnings
We won't talk about the entire Thief series because these games are outdated. It's about about the 2014 project, which became a relaunch, giving fans new experiences.
At its core, this is a stealth action game where the action takes place from the first person. The game takes place several centuries after the events of the last Thief: Deadly Shadows. Because of this, you will not be able to meet with representatives of the once influential factions of the Hammerites, Pagans and Guardians. And all because they fell into decay, being forgotten. The only thing left of the once powerful organizations are architectural monuments in the form of churches and cathedrals, now used for other purposes.
The game's missions involve completing difficult tasks in stealth mode. Moreover, there are several approaches that you can choose during the passage. This non-linearity allows you to use all the capabilities of the improved combat system and dangerous weapon pave the way to the goal.
The setting is reminiscent of the Victorian era with steampunk elements. Artificial intelligence is well developed - it logically reacts to the actions of the main character and can go in search of him even when he does not suspect anything. You need to steal from the characters competently so that they do not turn to the city guard.
Batman Arkham City - a dark sequel
Before us is the second part of the Batman: Arkham franchise, which tells the story of the Dark Knight, tirelessly protecting peace and order in Gotham. His work is complicated by the fact that in addition to ordinary criminals, the city is tormented by exceptional lawbreakers like the Joker. Arkham Asylum was built for such individuals. It was only after a while that so many prisoners accumulated within its walls that it could no longer cope with its tasks.
The new mayor did an unexpected thing - he bought out part of the slums and organized a closed area there, where he sent all the violators. The perimeter of the area is carefully guarded by the Tiger organization. And for the “treatment” dangerous criminals Hugo Strange is constantly watching. Once he finds out who Batman really is, Hugo kidnaps him, telling him about plans to activate the mysterious “Protocol 10”. The winged avenger manages to escape from captivity and receives a set of equipment from the faithful Alfred. Now Batman is on enemy territory and must investigate Strange's plans, while also putting things in order Arkham City.
The graphics in the second part have improved significantly and are considered one of the best in the series. Batman's costume has received many improvements. For example, smoke grenades appeared in his arsenal, allowing him to disorientate his opponents at the most opportune moment. Enemies have become more diverse and require a unique approach. The world is completely open - you can explore every nook and cranny of the dark slums and find a lot of interesting things there. The developers have not forgotten about the puzzles - here you will not only be a merciless universal fighter, but also a detective collecting evidence or investigating cases in hot pursuit.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Industrial Revolution
The action of the new part of the game takes place on the territory of Victorian London, where a lot of stories took place even without the stories invented by the scriptwriters. interesting events. The plot centers on twins Evie and Jacob Fry. They are assassins who dream of ridding the capital British Empire from the influence of the Templars. To do this, they organize their own gang and try to destroy the group of “Hangmen”, employees dark forces. At the same time, Evie, with the support of the head of the London assassins, is looking for the Shroud of Eden - a special artifact that the Templars are chasing.
The developers once again offered gamers an open game world. As you progress through the game, you will find unforgettable action and breathtaking landscapes. Help the assassins save the world once again by becoming great heroes!
Batman Arkham City Game Of The Year Edition - cool DLC
Six months after the main release was released, the developers managed to supplement the project with several DLCs. They are brought together in GOTYE and allow you to enjoy gameplay in a new way. Be the first to join the ranks of crime fighters and restore order in the city. In additions, you can choose not only Batman - Nightwing, Robin and Catwoman are available. And if you are interested in the game for dark side, Harley Quinn will help cause chaos in Arkham City. It will show who really controls the government-forgotten areas of Gotham.
Obviously, no game is as similar to Shadow of the Tomb Raider as other games from Tomb Raider series. Even those that were released for consoles back in the 90s are very reminiscent of the new product, not to mention the more recent reboots of the franchise.
But to understand which one is worth getting acquainted with, you need to figure out which elements you liked most in the last part. Rise of the Tomb Raider - the previous game in the series, differs in gender open world, in which you can move between huge locations while moving along linear plot. The earlier the game was released, the more linear the levels. But the entire Tomb of Raider series boasts the presence of tombs and puzzles, which Lara Croft fans love so much.
If you are looking for a game that will take place in the same world, but with different gameplay, then be sure to pay attention to Lara Croft GO and Lara Croft & The Temple of Osiris. The first is a turn-based puzzle game where you have to navigate the board while avoiding traps and enemies. The Temple of Osiris is isometric arcade, in which, in addition to the single-player campaign, there is co-op mode.
Uncharted series
Tomb Raider and Uncharted series from the studio Naughty Dog are often compared with each other. In both cases, the plot centers on charismatic adventurers who are ready to do anything to solve the next puzzle. But hunting treasure is not their only goal. They easily fight enemies, climb mountains and disarm traps.
The structure of the Uncharted series, and especially the last two parts Lost Legacy and A Thief's End are very similar to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. For the most part, these are linear adventures with a well-developed plot, but at the same time, each individual location can be freely explored, looking under each stone. Shadow of the Tomb Raider offers a little more open world, but puzzle-solving capabilities, combat, and a story-oriented approach are still key elements in both games.
God of War
Just a year ago, when talking about games like the Tomb Raider series, we wouldn't even think about the God of War franchise. New part changed a lot and became more dramatic, telling about the exciting adventures of Kratos and his son, due to which it was included in our list of games that are strongly reminiscent of Tomb Raider in its structure.
Of course, the plot of God of War is much deeper than it might seem at first glance. It is strongly associated with Norse mythology and its gods and creatures. And yet, like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, God of War is action adventure.
Both games offer a semi-open world to explore, which you can freely explore, getting to know its features and inhabitants along the way. However, everything you see and where you are is highly dependent on your current progress. This means that at the very beginning you cannot go to the final location. You are limited by the plot. God of War is more action-oriented than Shadow of the Tomb Raider. But the structure itself of these two games is almost the same.
Strange Brigade
Strange Brigade is a kind of mix between good old action films and modern games. The main action takes place in the 1930s, somewhere in the remote corners of the British Empire. The plot centers on a group of four adventurers who are on the verge of death. Egypt fight with mythical creatures. The game is designed for co-op, but is also quite suitable for single-player play. In the process you will destroy zombie, solve puzzles, explore caves and tombs of the great pyramids.
As you move between levels, you will fight off waves of enemies. The locations themselves are distinguished by their scale, so you can explore them for a long time until you look under every stone. Like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Strange Brigade lets you collect items and solve puzzles. True, here they are not so complicated. Nevertheless, Strange Brigade is quite a fun futuristic game that will definitely remind you of the early parts of Tomb series Raider and even the Mummy films.
Far Cry 5
Of course main difference between episodes Far Cry and Tomb Raider in that the former offers players a completely open world. If in Shadow of the Tomb Raider you can freely explore only certain locations, then in Far Cry 5 you have the whole country. But as for the battles themselves, everything is fine with them in both parts. Shadow of the Tomb Raider has slightly less explosions and crashes helicopters, but to eliminate enemy groups in both games you will have to work out tactics and conduct reconnaissance. Although this is not at all necessary. In Far Cry you get much more more freedom actions, but after walkthroughs Shadow of the Tomb Raider is more of a plus than a minus.
The same can be said about others Ubisoft games with an open world. Series Assassins Creed boasts a deeply developed world. Like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, it is available for free exploration. In addition, stealth is an important part of combat here.
If any studio were working on new parts of the Prince of Persia series, then we would definitely include them in our list of games similar to Tomb Raider, but for now that's it.
