In fact, I became a proper fan (joined forum in 2008) mainly due to the Legend and Anniversary so LAU holds a very special place in my heart!
I would agree with majority that says LAU Lara was one of the main things that places these games ahead of Classic, and especially Reboot era ones. Last edited by _Tomb_Raider; 26-03-20 at 10:09. |

LAU was my introduction to the TR series so it holds influence from that alone.

- Storytelling - The first thing that always jumps out at me when I think of the LAU games. Each game in the series has a pretty engaging storyline that keeps you interested up until the very end of the game. Legend had one of the best stories in the entire series. The game did a great job building up the Avalon storyline, but unfortunately they never properly resolved it. While I'm not a fan of how Underworld handled the Avalon storyline, I still enjoy the Norse and Helheim mythology the game covered. The only real downside is this series introduced the mother plot.
- Globetrotting - Another Classic featured that this era handled pretty well. Legend & Underworld in particular has Lara visiting different locations across the globe. Although I prefer the Classic approach where each location consists of 3-4 levels, I still enjoy that there was some location variety. - Lara Croft - As others mentioned, I enjoy this version of Lara a lot. Beautiful model and Keeley Hawes did a great job voicing her. |
