Lara Croft Tomb Raider has been a massive hit since it was released in 1996 with the first ever Tomb Raider game. We have put together a complete post of the Tomb Raider Original Timeline. Even to this date, Tomb Raider is being streamed and played on a regular basis. The series includes yourself playing as an Archeologist named Lara Croft who goes on wild adventures for ancient artifacts. You will face some extremely challenging puzzles and enemies! Throughout the series, you’ll notice Lara Croft changing and evolving for the better due to unforeseen circumstances. There have been multiple reboots, spin-off games and even movies, thanks to the success of this series.
