Tomb Raider: Legend

Play as Lara Croft on a globe-spanning search for a legendary artifact that draws her into mysteries from her past. Remote ruins and other locations hold clues to the quest and to Lara’s personal history.

Climb, jump, swing, and scramble through tombs and hazardous environments, using Lara’s athletic skills and a grappling hook to reach new areas and interact with objects. Solve environmental puzzles, avoid traps, and fight enemies with pistols and other weapons.

The single-player adventure mixes exploration, platforming, combat, and vehicle sequences. Find hidden relics and other collectibles to unlock bonus content, and return to Croft Manor to search for its secrets; time trials offer an additional challenge.

Players often enjoy the varied settings and brisk blend of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and action. Reviews also praise Lara’s characterization, the adventure’s story and atmosphere, and its soundtrack. Some find the experience dated or too short, and technical problems and awkward controls are recurring complaints.
