History VideoGame / TombRaider2013

** An unnamed ambassador to Yamatai. [[spoiler:He was actually a spy, of whom Himiko was well-aware but allowed him to do his job. When his mission is complete he intends to return home and warn his superiors that an attack against Yamatai would be suicide. He mentions seeing some dark and very disturbing practices on which he does not elaborate, and his ultimate fate is unknown, though some of the relics and journals imply that he was killed, his ruler attacked Yamatai because they weren't warned, and were destroyed by the Stormguard. Himiko was then going to invade his nation, but was stopped when Hoshi committed suicide, trapping Himiko in a corpse]].

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Subverted and then played straight. Near the end of the game, when Lara goes off to investigate, Reyes, having been up to this point cold and hostile to Lara, explicitly says that she plans on leaving the island with or without her. However, when Whitman betrays the group and hands Sam back over to Mathias, Lara attempts to tell Reyes and Jonah to leave if she doesn't make it back, but Reyes completely goes back on her earlier words and reassures Lara that they aren't leaving her behind.

* ContinuitySnarl: Crystal Dynamics likes to claim that both the novel and the interquel comics are canon in between the two games, but they contradict each other on whether Lara's in therapy (she's "getting help" in the novels though it's a plot point in the comics that she isn't), Himiko's possession of Sam (Lara manages to end it at the end of the novel, but it's revealed again as a new thing in the comics), and Lara and Sam's living situation (the novel ends with them living together; the comics end with Sam institutionalized). The second game sheds no light on this, with the only mention of Sam being that she "doesn't want to see" Lara and "her doctors" won't let Lara visit. However documents available in the game make it clear that Lara ''is'', or at least has been, in therapy.

* DeadMansTriggerFinger: Roth gets an axe to the back, but doesn't fall until he guns down the rest of the Solarii surrounding him.

* ArcherArchetype: For this reboot, Lara forgoes her iconic GunsAkimbo, as she starts out as a university student, unarmed and out of her depth, stranded on a hellish island. Lara acquires a makeshift bow and arrows from a dead body shortly after her arrival, and can acquire more powerful and high-tech bows over the course of the game, while also fashioning special arrows and bow upgrades. {{Handwave}}d by an explanation that Lara [[ChekhovsSkill used to practice archery at boarding school]].[[note]]Camilla Luddington, the Anglo-American actress who provides Lara's voice, likeness and motion capture for the game, also practiced archery when she was younger.[[/note]]

* ArtifactTitle: As pointed out by [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] - raiding tombs is [now] tertiary activity at best. The game itself dropped most of its elements from the previous installments to the franchise and changed focus to cover-shooter action adventure.
