A second rebooting of the ''TombRaider'' series, this time revising the game into a saga of survival.
This game sees Lara on as part of an expedition that gets shipwrecked on the forgotten island of Yamatai, home of the ancient Queen Himiko, who was fabled to control the very weather itself. Lara, a fresh-out-of-university 21-year-old, is separated from the rest of the crew and abducted by a deranged mad-man who strings her up inside a cave. After a gruelling struggle to break free, she makes her way out and has to face her grim situation - alone, separated from the crew, no food or supplies and an island full of cult members out to get her, lead by the enigmatic Father Mathias.
The game serves as an origin story, showing an inexperienced Lara learning what it takes to survive, as well as shaping her into the woman we knew and loved in the other TombRaider games. It was released in March of 2013 to universal acclaim, with many regarding it to be exactly what the lagging series needed as a shot in the arm.
