Review: The Lara Croft Collection - Two Well-Preserved Tomb-Raiding Treasures


Lara's back on our raiders. First announced back in 2021, and originally due to arrive as part of Tomb Raider's 25th-anniversary celebrations before being delayed, The Lara Croft Collection has finally rappelled its way onto Switch. This pair of spin-offs may not carry the main series' full moniker, but they are resolutely full-blooded Tomb Raider experiences that arrive on Nintendo's console in fine form, give or take a few performance issues and necessary excisions. Before we dig into the issues, though, let's concentrate on what's great here, as there are plenty of positive things to say about both of these lovingly-crafted isometric adventures. Kicking off with 2010's Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and we vividly remember being pretty blown away by what Crystal Dynamics served us up with this one on ye olde Xbox Arcade all those years ago. With its smaller scale, isometric viewpoint and cooperative gameplay, we were expecting a watered-down bit of tomb-raiding that focused more on fun with friends in a breezy arcade style. However, what we got was a game that could very easily be considered one of Lara's best adventures. (In fact, it's easily in this writer's top three.) Read the full article on nintendolife.com
