Classic Lara Croft platforming with a modern coat of paint, Tomb Raider: Anniversary revisits the original 1996 adventure for Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles (via backwards compatibility). It sits alongside the more cinematic reboot trilogy, but plays closer to old school Tomb Raider, focusing on puzzle-solving, careful exploration and precise jumps. If you like third-person action adventures in the vein of early Uncharted or Prince of Persia, this is the more methodical, trap-filled alternative.
Who is this for?
Anyone curious about where the series started, or returning fans who want the iconic locations without the tank controls. Expect plenty of switch puzzles, timed platform sections and combat that supports the pace rather than dominating it.
