When the Tomb Raider reboot landed back in 2013, it did something risky. It took an icon who had spent decades as an untouchable, dual-pistol-wielding force of nature, and broke her. Gone were Lara Croft's guns akimbo and her wink-at-the-camera cockiness in favour of a makeshift bow and a desperate, mud-caked struggle to stay alive on the island of Yamatai. This was an origin story that grounded the rookie raider and made you earn her legendary status one gruelling encounter at a time. And it wasn't just a fresh coat of paint, rather a total mechanical overhaul that dragged the franchise into the modern era to compete with Naughty Dog's Uncharted.
