Line 43:
** ''Anniversary'' pleased many irritated by the changes in ''Legend'', with the level design more complex and the sidekicks gone. Its reviews were about the same as ''Legend'' (namely depending on whether the reviewer preferred the original style or the new ''Legend'' style). Some of the changes as a remake came under heavy scrutiny though, especially Atlantis and the T-Rex encounter, which were both generally regarded as being very lacking even by those with no particular memory of their original incarnation. Also a [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel]] to many let down by the changes in ''Legend''.
* ''[[Tomb Raider: Underworld]]'' (2008) - Another attempt to be [[Darker and Edgier]], this time succeeding. Lara is searching for Thor's hammer and the Norse underworld, believing it to have a relation to Avalon, where her mother is (apparently) trapped.
** ''Underworld'' attempts a sort of combination of ''Legend'' and ''Anniversary'', with the narrative integration of the former and the level design style, isolation and other aspects from the latter. [[Your Mileage May Vary|Although its success is arguable]]. The game has received quite mixed reviews, partially due to being obviously rushed out for Christmas and let down by various bugs and issues (along with a [[Camera Screw|camera from hell]]) for many people. Some overlooked those issues, or got lucky, and considered it one of the best in the series, others were completely put off by them or ended up with an overall impression more along the lines of [[So Okay It's Average]]. It seems the series is back in heavy [[Your Mileage May Vary]] territory (and, as a result, yet another [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel]] for many)...
* ''[[Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light]]'' (2010) - A downloadable [[Gaiden Game]] with online co-op. The game is a third person 3D rendered isometric platformer/action title with puzzle elements. It is the only game in the series ''not'' to have ''Tomb Raider'' in the title. It also doesn't seem to have any place in either of the series' continuity (although it does use some of ''Legend'''s music), meaning players can interpret it how they wish.
* ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' (2013) - Yet another reboot of the series. It follows a young Lara, trapped on a Pacific island [[Survival Horror|mostly alone and without any supplies]] and takes a hard turn toward [[Darker and Edgier]].
* ''[[Rise of the Tomb Raider]]'' (2015/2016) - A direct sequel to ''Tomb Raider'' (2013). It takes place primarily in Siberia, with a portion in Syria.
