Steve and I complete our journey through the first 25 Years of Tomb Raider, finishing up with the most modern series: the "Survivor" trilogy by Crystal Dynamics, consisting of "Tomb Raider (2013", "Rise of the Tomb Raider", and "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", including various comics and book tie-ins. Strap in, this is a long one!

Let me know what game/series you'd like to see covered next!
Eh, how about Resistance?
Resident Evil
You could cover the Mortal Kombat series...
@@graysoncreed5465 they've already done Resident Evil
Silent hill
Splinter cell
My favorite archeologist/ mass murderer
really prefer the way she became a mass murderer. Considering that in the original game, the number of victims is just 6 :))))
Sounds about right.
The people she killed have way more blood on their hands.
yes she is 😍
@@ethandoyle4978
She was doing humanity a huge service by cutting out the cancers.
Couldn't stop laughing at the part where he says, "Whitman despite the only one with a GUN quickly surrenders and hands it to the locals". they way he said it
I had no idea Sam was continuously plagued by the spirit of the queen. Creepy. Makes panting the first game more epic.
Guess it makes sense tbh, I mean the ritual was happening while Lara was dealing with the mercenaries and the queen's guards. I'm sure bit of himiko had made its way into sam
Jonah really was the homie, thanks for the timelines!
Having rewatched all of the timeline videos i realized that all of the timelines are actually good, this finally made me realize that there isn't a "weakest era" in Tomb Raider games.
The classic era was the one that brought Lara and her adventures to reality, the Legend reboot tried to take a modernized look on what Lara's adventures could be and also changing her backstory a bit focusing more on what happened to her parents in this new timeline, and finally, the Survivor trilogy brought a more realistic Lara that even when she's scared she tries her best to move on while also caring more about her friends.
Oh wow, a reasonable take, that's rare nowadays
I think reboot Lara is more like a backstory, showing how she became the lara croft we know in the originals and legend
I knew nothing about Tomb Raider before I played this trilogy, but I was absolutely blown away by these games. I love Lara’s character development and that she finally defeats Trinity at the end of Shadow of the Tomb raider, finally getting revenge for her father’s death and saving the world in the process. These games are definitely a 10/10 in my books and would recommend to anyone whether you know anything about Tomb Raider or not.
@@MadaraUchiha-ly8wr yeah I’m a 2000s kid, so I missed the older games. But they are on my list to buy and play
@@muddymite4936 other than the legend trilogy, the older ones feel dated. the original is somewhat revived in anniversary (part of the legend trilogy), but the other ones are not worth playing in my opinion. reading their stories is enough. tr2 was remade by fans and it looks great, but i wouldn't want to play it after survivor.
This trilogy offers a fun action experience and offers more combat versatility that was lacking in the older games. Combat was the weakest aspect in the 90's games and didn't change much throughout the 2000's.
In the first 6 games her parents are alive. They changed that to add more depth to the story. Not sure if it was really the best choice since the stories of the next 6 games kept revolving around this way too much.

After Roth died they should’ve gave you the option to use either one or two pistols from there on out in every game. I like how you include the comics and stuff. Helps to flesh out characters.
Roth's death was the PERFECT moment for Lara to start using his pistols. Like, I can't imagine any better reason for her to use them both!
THANK YOU for diving into the Dark Horse comics that take place in-between games! So much happens in those that I think more people should know about.
That explains what happens to her friend?
Had no idea they even existed but does sam ever get better the last comic is sad if thats how it ends for her in jail
Happy to see the ACTUAL complete timeline. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
@@SuggestiveGaming Hey Can u Tell me to Which Game Should Start In Order
@@LuciferMorningstar_777 Tomb Rader 2013 --> Rise of the Tomb Raider --> Shadow of the Tomb Raider
That last smile still leaves me thinking of her next adventure ❤️
Lara croft on ps5 and xbox series x would be amazing, to see her with more and better graphics :D
Sam: *Exists*
Himiko: “It’s Free Real Estate!”
Great video. I don't know how Lara has any friends, academic or professional colleagues willing to have anything to do with her. Almost everyone she has anything to do with ends up dead.
Except Jonah lol
Jonah, Sam and Reyes were pretty much the only survivors among Lara’s crew. And yet only Jonah returns in future games.
@@zerosorigin8387 Jonah is the sweetest big man we all respect and love
I would care for his death in the same way I would with Lara ( an actual death, maybe in an ending, not the in game deaths you respaw over)
@@trizgarcias BIA SALOME. with all my due respect, LARA CROFT WON'T NEVER DIE!!!
In one or two hundred years ( if we EXIST yet ) SOMEONE, GIRL OR BOY WILL BE PLAYING a TOMB RAIDER videogame. In this or other PLANET. I'm very SURE ABOUT.
to me this BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER
BELONGS TO THE IMMORTALITY!!!
HER LEGACY WILL BE ENDLESS...
BIA. Like you noticed l'm a HUGE LARA CROFT FAN! ( like YOU! ) so
THANK YOU very much for reading this one. I wishing you THE BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE!!
take care please.
@@Wisteria_Flores and the butler
Seriously, Steve and you guys have put in so much effort into doing this series that you deserve a timeline yourselves ❤
Lara's ability to get jumped or captured is outstanding
That’s a great username. Got me for a second
I get the reboot is not the same Lara as the og but she is an incredible idea to me. I really love it being very action packed Lara being so grounded and basically a female Rambo. Instead of acrobatic flips and shorts, we see a stealth survivor who uses guerilla tactics and has beauty and practicality with pants. The only thing missing is her dual pistols. I see reboot Lara as a homage to action movies of 80s and that's why I love it. The story could have used work though...
Thank you for saying this, I felt like I was the only one xD
I personally love everything about these games than the original games. They just didn’t interest me at all. I understand why people don’t like the new version- maybe because they want to relive their childhood? But these stories are just way better. A very unpopular opinion lol
@@MadaraUchiha-ly8wr No one cares bruh go find a real girl instead. Damn you 31 and still got no girl and you gotta go after a girl 6 years younger than you pffft 😂 and she fake too smh take yo anime ass outta here LOOOL girls like Lara don't like that bullshit.
@@MadaraUchiha-ly8wr Jonah is a poorly written character tbh they have no chemistry. Irl he is a loser lol don't expect any girl to attend to you if you act like him. You'd just be a simp.
@@Wisteria_Flores I'd say none of the TR stories are actually good. But that's not what I play them for so it's ok. 1 vote for the originals btw ;)
the fact that Lara is tailed every time she goes to meet someone and never realizes it
Even having grown up during Tomb Raider's heyday in the 90s, the Survivor Croft is by far my favorite timeline
I love the fact you can just play the games get a awesome story but you get more lore with the books and comics
Also love the plot timeline at the bottom of the screen with the climbing axe icon. Very neat detail.
Yaaaay!!!! I have been waiting for it! Also big thanks for introducing Steve to us, really enjoy his content
I'm always in awe at the work you do and how I'm depth you get into the games. Keep up the good work mate. Definitely look forward to your next video 🙂
this was incredible guys
I can't overstate how much more interesting the plot the whole timeline would be if there were choices in game (like BO2, not as complex as a full RPG), which you could then import into the next game. Stuff like taking the divine source, killing Constantine etc.
Killing Constantine is a choice. Too bad it affects nothing.
I love this game retrospective in all its iterations. Thank you guys
This timeline has the most interesting story. I think they should somehow go on from this point on. It's so good to see how fresh our Lara still is. I love this character so much. 😍
This is absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much being so thorough, precise and detailed with the full stories tying up the plots from the games, novels and comics. Amazingly put together.
The survivor arc was very well done. Set the tone for the next game that was just released. I hope they continue this story arc years later so we can still celebrate her past adventures
Wow, that was a long video! I thought the classic timeline would be longer since it had 7 games to cover, but this one went into lots of detail about the novel and comics that came in between the games. Good job guys! I just finished Rise of the tomb raider and its DLC recently, so I have yet to play Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
After seeing this, I might play the demo sooner rather than waiting to play it in Sept for its 3rd anniversary (and continue in October for the series 25th anniversary)
Rise is personally my favorite- just for nostalgia reasons, but shadow is such a beautiful game. The scenery is amazing and I feel like I’m actually in the jungles of Peru with Lara. The story is also very Interesting- the characters are very well written. ❤️
I was able to buy and play Shadow back in June and it was amazing, it was a fantastic ending to the trilogy and just a blast to play and I think you would love it
She gets knocked out a lot lol
lara has faced so much trauma within just the first 12 mins of the video
This was so much fun to watch, great job
I like how everyone was just busting in shooting everyone else but Lara. It's like the legit meaning of "but wait! Theres more!" And "not so fast!" 😂
Should be bloody and gory and amazing.
Netflix is supposed to be continuing the story after Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The show will be an anime with Hayley Atwell taking over as the voice of Lara Croft.
Thank you so much for this series guys, I hope these blow up one day! You guys should be proud of yourselves. These are so well made and you can see that so much thought was placed into the creation of these videos!!!!! ♥️
I am not a fan of the survivor series. Like I only played them because it was Tomb Raider but the story always intrigued me. This sure helped me understand a lot more.
I knew sam would be afflicted by that soul transfer thing. It took too long before lara gets to her.
15:00 turns out having an axe in your back gives you great aiming skills
Shadow of tomb raider has satisfying bad ending and it's music and soundtrack was amazing
Absolutely incredible video, must have taken ages to get all of the info and make a script, along with the footage. Also wow that book and comics sound really terrible, like what even is that haha, I mean maybe it just doesn’t sound great when summarised like that but the amount of times Lara is followed by people that may or may not have hoodies is hilarious
Mushroom seekers got me burst with laughter honestly
In addition to your point on how incredibly his work is, it's nice to see through the comics how she slowly became an expert rock climber & mass murderer
Lara might be the only videogame character that can escape any prison in a time span of only minutes
Mabye Nathan drake from the Uncharted series can give Lara a run for her money
late but batman could escape any scenario his villains put him in. bruce escaped arkahm city prison in minutes
“Crystal have yet to have her use them”
Bruh moment.
Amazing video. Can't even imagine how much time this must have taken you. I recently found your channel and will definitely binge your older videos. :)
Such a good looking game series
i absolutely adore this trilogy and i've almost played through the games a second time
Absolutely amazing you guys made videos explaining the plot of each game. I enjoyed every one. Awesome work! 😃
I love the recap and I loved the 3 games, but only through this video did I realize how impressed I am that Lara still has any braincells left. She was probably knocked on the head, flung around and fell unconscious more times than a Football player over the course of their whole career
Thank you both so much!! Amazing work 💗
I want to know how traumatized this woman is
This is such a tremendous amount of work to produce such a video, hat off to the creator!
those novel and comic plots are WILD!
I thought blood ties took place after the events of the main story I. “ rise of the tomb raider “.
winston is still shivering from being locked inside the walk in fridge
Me playing the old games and watcing the old movies: Man I wish I had a job like this, this would be badass.
Me after playing the new games: Yeah Imma stick to my 9-5 for now I aint built for all that horror movie fuel
Damn the thumbnail lara 😍
She is definitely in my top 5 game characters
I just found your channel. I am so glad I did! Keep up the fantastic work
FANTASTIC!
Many thanks!
you done so well , best video lore game ever !!
I kinda wished the first game had dlcs like it's sequels. We could've had some of them following what happened to Sam after the ritual or maybe Lara's investigation into Trinity.
You've done such a great job working on this 👍🏼☺️
So sad early on, Roth at the time, was the only one who cared for her that much.
Odd that in one of the comics at 42:02 the helicopter is an apache, but at 42:09 the helicopter is now a Ka-52
People complaining about this new timeline & Lara like... Why? This timeline has a rich story to tell and as an introverted man, I couldn't feel more identified with Lara and her inner desire for Adventure & Survival, Nice video!
You asked so... Personally, I find the story incredibly boring and cliched. The other games didn't have great stories, but they had a comic book adventure feel to them that was as fun as it bombastic. These feel too serious that you take them at face value... Which isn't that interesting. Lara's character in the first game of the trilogy was great... I didn't feel like she grew much in Rise or Shadow, and was just boring to watch.
Gameplay is fine, but the more "open" they made the gameplay, the more tedious and boring it got. The survival/crafting aspects of these games were the worst parts, and despite Shadow having great platforming puzzles, the environments were boring and the survival part was just a drag.
I think these games are fine... Liked the 1st game, and enjoyed a lot of Rise... Shadow remains the only game I just could not finish out of boredom.
Very insightful and interesting glad shadow of the tomb raider got properly explained as questions popped in my head trying to understand some of its story, most of em are explained with those books n comics I didn't know existed, be good if these were referenced in the games as I had no idea and left me confused for years, as always I look forward to lara returning in the future hopefully, cheers heaps for this doco very much love your work on what you've done
thank you guys so much for this
Amazing video! ❤️
Great video as usual, love the details. I'm sad I haven't read the comics yet need to do that. I enjoy this modern trilogy of TR. But I am an OG TR stan. Hope we get another game that can close the story maybe or something.
this is funny asf i found your guys channel from looking up MLB Sluggers gameplay and you guys popped up from like 6 years ago XD
Great video, I enjoyed it very much.
can y’all please make a series for the assassin’s creed universe!!! 😭
Someday...
@@SuggestiveGaming Good luck, dude!
Can't wait to watch Steve's videos about the reboot series!!!!
That was exhausting. Seems like if she just went after Trinity and killed them first would've solved so much problems
Lara better dig those duel pistols out in the next game
The First Tomb Raider (in the Japanese islands) was a super good game. Awesome gameplay, history and you know, samurais and ancient Japanese gods.
thank you for doing this video
I still hope u guys will do a halo timeline video that would be pretty cool
Stay tuned 😉
love tomb raider so much
CANT WAITTTTTT
Great video! It shows you put a lot of work in them. 🙂
However, this is my least favourite timeline, Legend being my favourite. What I like in this tho is that Lara wears trousers instead of shorts.
They had me up until the mushroom of immortality
I wish they made games on the comics and book that would’ve been amazing
Wow excellent work !!!!!!!!!!
😮 including the comics!!! Awesome!!! Ty
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think I read somewhere Konstantine’s men aren’t with Trinity. They’re their own faction run by Konstantine & Ana and have just been paid by Trinity. So basically just mercenaries that don’t have Trinity ties more than payment. Whereas Trinity hires more mercenaries through Rourke but Trinity soldiers work with Rouke as well.
Good to hear you said Lara and not Laura. Not sure why people say Laura when there's no 'u' in her name.
Just recently someone I know on Instagram said she was going to cosplay as Lara Croft but spelled it “Laura Croft”. I almost had an aneurysm reading that.
How I became addicted to this game: my mom bought- Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. I played it once and because obsessed 😩
It still boggles my mind that none of the Solarii (not even one) had ever thought of destroying the body rather than putting themselves through so much effort of trying to bring the sun queen back to life. Hahahaha how fucking stupid 😂
you know with the right funding cast,writers and directors this would be one hell of a show ...lets say hbo with maybe the dragon queen from game a thrones as laura
Unpopular opinion: I like this Lara much more than the original
Here’s a fact for you... Nobody really cares who you like more. 😂
@@Hewhodoesntgiveafck oh noooo I’m so hurt 🥺🥺🥺
I love them all but this one def. meant more to me. I related to her way more than the others, and I grew up with LAU.
No wonder they call this the survivor timeline- Jesus this turned into a horror game
Five games I would like to see you cover
Splinter cell games
Yakuza games
Mass effect games
Witcher games
Far cry games
yeah I think yakuza should definitely be number one
OMG love it! But it's sad to here about Sam's story up to Shadow of TR. Also it's a shame that ¨the survivor timeline has no games about the comic events between the main games. I 'd love to see lara in opera :D
Jonah changes races a lot in the games
After all this time I still like Rise better than the other 2, but also still get weirded out by how much older Sofia looks compared to her father (which is immortal, but still...)
Lara falls into ALOT of water in the later games.
I am so exited for the unified timeline and the unified Lara
This Lara and these games get so much hate. I grew up with both older series, the originals in my early childhood and the Legend games in my late childhood, and despite my absolute love for those games (especially Legend), I find that the Survivor timeline has so much more to tell and develops Lara in a way we never got to see in the other timelines. Sure, Legend Lara does have moments of vulnerability and other emotions at times, such as, "WHERE IS MY MOTHER?!" but Survivor Lara grows so much as a character throughout the games. She gets too much hate and not enough love.
The Survivor Trilogy was my entry to the Lara Croft Verse, in that 2013 and for a start it was fun.
Who actually hates on the survivor games? puratans? cause the ratings for all three are very high.
@@ksander_9712 It really is just purists who hate them, but they're by far the most vocal, because anything that isn't older Lara (or even anything that isn't specifically classic Lara for some people) is automatically garbage, I guess. I attribute it to the fact that they can't play out their power fantasies as well with a character who grows and matures when compared with one who starts out as a cheeky badass.
@@ParadoxPandox Okay, i’ll still keep holding onto hope that we get one more ‘Survivor’ game until they decide to reboot yet again, the trilogy has been phenomenal so far.
@@ParadoxPandox I don't hate these games, I just don't consider them Tomb Raider as the gameplay is completely different. The og games were anything but power fantasies, it's the sense of isolation you get from being in a big foreign open space full of possibilities that I miss.
Lara's Durability must be off the charts gaddaaaamn
