Lara Croft is searching for the Dagger of Xian, a magical weapon once used by an ancient Emperor of China to command his army; by plunging the weapon into its owner's heart, the weapon has the power to transform its bearer into a dragon. Having tracked the Dagger's chamber to beneath the Great Wall of China, Lara is accosted by a member of the Fiamma Nera, an Italian cult obsessed with the Dagger. Before killing himself, the cultist reveals that his master Marco Bartoli seeks the Dagger, and she tracks the Fiamma Nera to an abandoned opera house in Venice, Italy. Stowing away aboard a seaplane leaving Venice with Bartoli on board, Lara overhears Bartoli discussing the Seraph, an object key to retrieving the key to the Dagger's chamber that was with his father Gianni when his luxury liner Maria Doria was bombed and sunk. Lara is found on the plane and captured, being imprisoned in a repurposed oil rig above the Maria Doria. Lara escapes and encounters a monk of the Barkhang Monastery in Tibet, who originally defeated the Emperor and sealed the Dagger away. The monk was there to prevent Bartoli from salvaging the Seraph. Bartoli kills the monk, and Lara narrowly escapes and dives alongside a submersible to discover the shipwreck, and searching throughout the remains she eventually retrieves the Seraph. Using the plane, she heads for Tibet and reaches the Barkhang Monastery, which is under siege from the Fiamma Nera. Using the Seraph, she opens the way to retrieve the key to the Dagger's chamber, killing its monstrous guardian in the process. Escaping the Fiamma Nera, she unlocks the Dagger's chamber, but is plunged into the catacombs beneath before she can reach it. Making her way back, she witnesses Bartoli stabbing himself with the Dagger and being carried through a portal by his cultists. Following them through, Lara navigates a magical space of floating jade islands and animated statues, finally confronting Bartoli as he transforms into a dragon. Lara renders the dragon unconscious and pulls the dagger from Bartoli's heart, killing him and escaping back into the real world just as the area starts to collapse, causing part of the Wall to explode in the process. The Fiamma Nera launch a final unsuccessful attack against Lara at Croft Manor; the final scene is Lara about to disrobe for a shower, then breaking the fourth wall as she shoots at the camera.
I loved how games years ago we had to work everything out in our heads with no help, bit different now in modern gaming, we've seem to lost that golden spark, Tomb raider 2 is my favourite of the trilogy.
Anyone that thinks this game is objectively better than modern games, in terms of design, is absolutely off their rocker. Design that confuses players, tricks them, wastes their time and so on is not good design. This was great for it's day, but fuck me, DESIGN wise, games have come on a long way and saying these old games are better or they have some magic spark is absolutely bonkers. HALF or more of the challenge of these games is fighting against awful controls, dreadful cheap designs, things that don't make sense, unclear objectives, and more. This wasn't some golden age where gamers faced rewarding games design. At all. PEAK nostalgia vision mate. @@jackkiernan5950
Simple example: no visual way of distinguishing which blocks can be moved (trial and error!), rope swings and such which force you into taking damage (can't be avoided)< save crystals and such that artificially inflate difficulty, hidden items which are deliberately hard to see, pickups and switches which you can't interact with unless you are EXACTLY positioned. Switches which activate things miles away for no discernible logical reason... I can go on. Things have come a LONG way.
Only tomb raider game i had played both 1 and 3 as a kid so im so ready to play these again pay day cant come soon enough going to be amazing for me to play them completely blind
Was it ever missing though? I recall in the original it never had it either (playstation 1 user here so maybe there’s another version that had them). So the remaster emulates that as well.
Hi fellas! Perhaps not the place to ask, but don't see another way to do it but wanted to know if you guys have any plans or not to do Helldivers 2 in the near future? Apologies if you have already answered this elsewhere. Thanks.

Hahhaa..i remember the 4th wall breaking by Lara. "Dont you think you seen enough?" Baaam. Good ol days. Now i feel pretty old
Imagine if modern games followed the formula of forcing players to figure out how to achieve their objectives
Games wouldn't get beat kids and people too stupid nowadays

How sad for this player to not have the Uzi and the ammo for dua machine gun is non
Been a while since we had short game movies. Ah, those were the days
That last part remains a classic moment for the franchise.

They knew what they were doing back then😏
Surprised they still kept it here in the remaster.
26:36 bro… that crotch
Idk if that was a mistake or intentional, if it’s the latter then the devs behind this surely had the right idea 😂

They should 100% make a movie about this game. I’d love it
Awesome video can't wait to see Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
We can’t way to play. It’s looks like a perfect 10/10. Demo was amazing and we can’t wait to get our hands on it!
Tomb Raider 50 years later
Missing the drive from Tibet to the return to the door at the wall
Nice gameplay.
thanks
You’re welcome.
Dang it! They didn't read my email about the missing gunflashes in the monk scene. It really needs lighting that way with the way she exits!!!

Can we play this?
How are the traditional controls for this game?

As a man of culture, I see that The thumbnail has some nice assets.
I miss Lara when she has "the body". A real Femme Fatale.

Lara Croth looks pretty hot
The accents are really something
The helicopter cutscene is just the lazy original version.
You missed a few FMVs
Did you really forget to put the best one ? the jeep chase...
Thats in TR IV
