As you might have guessed, the game was met with mixed reviews, though not for the reasons you might expect. The graphics were significantly improved compared to the previous titles courtesy of the PlayStation 2 , and the story was quite well received. However, rather than just being more of the same, the gameplay mechanics of The Angel of Darkness were a step down according to many.
The controls felt clunky and unbecoming of a PS2 title, bugs plagued it, and the new stealth mechanics felt poorly implemented and superficial. With all the mixed and negative reviews that The Angel of Darkness and Chronicles were receiving, it was high time for Tomb Raider to get a makeover — and sure enough, it did. As expected, the new team had a fresh perspective, and they delivered a game that successfully breathed new life into the franchise.
Legend was a soft reboot of sorts that kicked off a new storyline and brought Lara Croft into the then-new 7 th generation of consoles. Of course, it was still released for 6 th generation consoles, too, but it was only on newer hardware that the new engine and graphics could truly shine. Apart from beautiful environments, Legend featured the right balance of action and puzzles. In any case, Legend was an all-around solid Tomb Raider game that was met with generally positive reviews, and it was a definite step up from the earlier sequels.
A year after Legend , Tomb Raider made a bit of a return to its roots with the remake of the first game. Tomb Raider: Anniversary was rebuilt from scratch using the new engine that had been introduced in Tomb Raider: Legend.
But while it handled more or less the same as Legend , Anniversary took a step back from the flashiness and bombast that defined Legend. It provided a more old-school, puzzle-oriented Tomb Raider experience, and it did so masterfully. Sadly, despite being a high-quality remake that received a lot of praise from critics, it remained the worst-selling Tomb Raider game to date, which is probably partly due to the more challenging puzzles and how different it was from Legend.
However, Underworld was a bit of a mixed bag. Although it featured noticeable improvements in terms of graphics, and despite the gameplay feeling much smoother and more streamlined compared to Legend , it also felt somewhat oversimplified at times. It featured some very uninspiring levels that stood in stark contrast to some others.
The combat was fast and dynamic, and the levels were less linear, open for exploration, and featured some good puzzles. Released in , Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light marked an exciting change of pace for the series. This fresh take on Tomb Raider was executed exceptionally well, which led to great reviews from critics, at least as far as the actual gameplay is concerned.
