Tomb Raider: Chronicles takes a more episodic approach, revisiting key moments in Lara’s past, offering a diverse range of locations and challenges.
Finally, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness delves into a darker, more mature storyline, exploring Lara’s emotional journey and introducing new gameplay mechanics.
