Steve and I complete our journey through the first 25 Years of Tomb Raider, finishing up with the most modern series: the "Survivor" trilogy by Crystal Dynamics, consisting of "Tomb Raider (2013", "Rise of the Tomb Raider", and "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", including various comics and book tie-ins. Strap in, this is a long one!
Note that the timeline marker on screen isn't necessarily meant to take literally of the exact timeframe these events take place, but more so a visual indicator.

Having rewatched all of the timeline videos i realized that all of the timelines are actually good, this finally made me realize that there isn't a "weakest era" in Tomb Raider games. The classic era was the one that brought Lara and her adventures to reality, the Legend reboot tried to take a modernized look on what Lara's adventures could be and also changing her backstory a bit focusing more on what happened to her parents in this new timeline, and finally, the Survivor trilogy brought a more realistic Lara that even when she's scared she tries her best to move on while also caring more about her friends.

I knew nothing about Tomb Raider before I played this trilogy, but I was absolutely blown away by these games. I love Lara’s character development and that she finally defeats Trinity at the end of Shadow of the Tomb raider, finally getting revenge for her father’s death and saving the world in the process. These games are definitely a 10/10 in my books and would recommend to anyone whether you know anything about Tomb Raider or not.

I get the reboot is not the same Lara as the og but she is an incredible idea to me. I really love it being very action packed Lara being so grounded and basically a female Rambo. Instead of acrobatic flips and shorts, we see a stealth survivor who uses guerilla tactics and has beauty and practicality with pants. The only thing missing is her dual pistols. I see reboot Lara as a homage to action movies of 80s and that's why I love it. The story could have used work though...

That’s a great username. Got me for a second
the fact that Lara is tailed every time she goes to meet someone and never realizes it
Even having grown up during Tomb Raider's heyday in the 90s, the Survivor Croft is by far my favorite timeline
Also love the plot timeline at the bottom of the screen with the climbing axe icon. Very neat detail.
I love the fact you can just play the games get a awesome story but you get more lore with the books and comics
I'm always in awe at the work you do and how I'm depth you get into the games. Keep up the good work mate. Definitely look forward to your next video 🙂
This timeline has the most interesting story. I think they should somehow go on from this point on. It's so good to see how fresh our Lara still is. I love this character so much. 😍
Yaaaay!!!! I have been waiting for it! Also big thanks for introducing Steve to us, really enjoy his content
I can't overstate how much more interesting the plot the whole timeline would be if there were choices in game (like BO2, not as complex as a full RPG), which you could then import into the next game. Stuff like taking the divine source, killing Constantine etc.
This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much being so thorough, precise and detailed with the full stories tying up the plots from the games, novels and comics. Amazingly put together.
this was incredible guys
Wow, that was a long video! I thought the classic timeline would be longer since it had 7 games to cover, but this one went into lots of detail about the novel and comics that came in between the games. Good job guys! I just finished Rise of the tomb raider and its DLC recently, so I have yet to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider. After seeing this, I might play the demo sooner rather than waiting to play it in Sept for its 3rd anniversary (and continue in October for the series 25th anniversary)

You asked so... Personally, I find the story incredibly boring and cliched. The other games didn't have great stories, but they had a comic book adventure feel to them that was as fun as it bombastic. These feel too serious that you take them at face value... Which isn't that interesting. Lara's character in the first game of the trilogy was great... I didn't feel like she grew much in Rise or Shadow, and was just boring to watch. Gameplay is fine, but the more "open" they made the gameplay, the more tedious and boring it got. The survival/crafting aspects of these games were the worst parts, and despite Shadow having great platforming puzzles, the environments were boring and the survival part was just a drag. I think these games are fine... Liked the 1st game, and enjoyed a lot of Rise... Shadow remains the only game I just could not finish out of boredom.
I love the recap and I loved the 3 games, but only through this video did I realize how impressed I am that Lara still has any braincells left. She was probably knocked on the head, flung around and fell unconscious more times than a Football player over the course of their whole career
i absolutely adore this trilogy and i've almost played through the games a second time
FANTASTIC!

Very insightful and interesting glad shadow of the tomb raider got properly explained as questions popped in my head trying to understand some of its story, most of em are explained with those books n comics I didn't know existed, be good if these were referenced in the games as I had no idea and left me confused for years, as always I look forward to lara returning in the future hopefully, cheers heaps for this doco very much love your work on what you've done
thank you guys so much for this
Great video as usual, love the details. I'm sad I haven't read the comics yet need to do that. I enjoy this modern trilogy of TR. But I am an OG TR stan. Hope we get another game that can close the story maybe or something.

This Lara and these games get so much hate. I grew up with both older series, the originals in my early childhood and the Legend games in my late childhood, and despite my absolute love for those games (especially Legend), I find that the Survivor timeline has so much more to tell and develops Lara in a way we never got to see in the other timelines. Sure, Legend Lara does have moments of vulnerability and other emotions at times, such as, "WHERE IS MY MOTHER?!" but Survivor Lara grows so much as a character throughout the games. She gets too much hate and not enough love.

They retconned so much in the comics omg. Also love how they all start with “Men in masks are following Lara, Sam, and Jonah.” I don’t know why they bothered to put so much work into comics that bridge the gap between games when they don’t bother to work any of those stories or characters into the games. “Well we don’t want to leave anyone out who don’t read them” well... then don’t do comics then? Because that basically means they’re non canon even though they’re supposed to be canon. It’s such a waste. This whole trilogy should be called the wasted potential trilogy.

You are absolutly correct. Also did they ever explain who The Cardinal is/was. I thought that Rourke was the 1 who murdered Laura's dad as well as Ana, but they never confirm or deny it. It legit feels like the people who made this trilogy were just going with the flow instead of planning everything out from the start before they started production on the 1st game. That way, they can properly introduce us players to world, setting and characters and create a main villian who is far more memberble than the 1 we currently have. Also, the killer should have had way more screen time than they got in the games (which is none)

@@spouwnerring it feels that way because that’s how it was done lol! Rise feels like a reboot in its own right, it’s so far removed from the actual reboot it feels like another origin story, not to mention they changed Lara’s backstory between reboot and Rise In promotional material for Reboot it was said Lara’s parents were BOTH missing and presumed dead, I remember this vividly because everyone breathed a sign of relief that they were essentially preventing themselves from going down the parent drama again... boy were we wrong. They changed it suddenly in rise so that her father was around and it was her mom that was missing and presumed dead. They kind of just went with it the entire time, there was no structure to this trilogy, no plan, just improvising as they went along. Which is why this era of games is so annoying. They tried so hard to be ~gritty~ and “realistic” but just come off as messy and boring.
After all this time I still like Rise better than the other 2, but also still get weirded out by how much older Sofia looks compared to her father (which is immortal, but still...)
Nice
I think I read somewhere Konstantine’s men aren’t with Trinity. They’re their own faction run by Konstantine & Ana and have just been paid by Trinity. So basically just mercenaries that don’t have Trinity ties more than payment. Whereas Trinity hires more mercenaries through Rourke but Trinity soldiers work with Rouke as well.
you know with the right funding cast,writers and directors this would be one hell of a show ...lets say hbo with maybe the dragon queen from game a thrones as laura
