As far as classics go, I'd put it over TR2, 4 (Maybe), Chronicles and AOD. When it comes to LAU, Legend is the only one that competes with it. While Shadow has a lot more to offer, Legend works better as an overall game.

I haven't played enough of them to have a list; I've only touched TR1, TR2, LAU, and the Survivor trilogy. I haven't played TR1 & 2 in so long that I can't even remember them anymore. I have LAU on two different consoles and I haven't played them in forever, either. As such, as far as ranking go, I can only list those that I'm familiar with, which is the recent three.

1. Tomb Raider
2. Rise
3. Shadow

I made a comment a long time ago about why I've placed them in this order.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider. What can I say, it's exactly what I'd want from a modern Tomb Raider game.
This is probably where I fall as well.

Easily in my top 3, my favourite depending on my mood. It’s got the reboot formula I love, but with more of the stuff other games in the series did better.

You forget TR4 (unless you never played it ?)

It's tied with Rise to be my favourite from the reboot era. The game before it would be TR3 and after it AOD (and then Chronicles and TR 2013). Not a lot well placed but I find it to be really nice nevertheless.

Overall :

Excellent
Tomb Raider II

Very good
Tomb Raider I
The Last Revelation

Good
Anniversary

Very nice
Underworld
Legend
Tomb Raider III

Nice
Rise
Shadow
Angel of Darkness

Decent
Chronicles

Meh
Tomb Raider 2013

I played some of it, up until City of the Dead, but I never finished the whole game - also I was told it apparently goes downhill from that point on - so I feel like it's not fair for me to rank it among the rest.

Based on what I *have* experienced it would either go at the bottom of Hall of Fame tier or at the top of the Good tier, but my memory is getting a bit foggy. I really should attempt this game once again, finally.

It may seem pretty low on the list but it’s actually a compliment, since no TR game ever could surpass the original ones, no matter who develops it or how much I like it and how good it is.
This for me as well. For me, Shadow is the best TR game since CD took over the franchise.
