6. Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation brought the series back to its roots with a puzzle-heavy experience that challenged players with intricate levels and ancient Egyptian lore.

5. Tomb Raider: Legend
Tomb Raider: Legend is a great game if you're nostalgic for the original TR experience. It has an open-world RPG with a map full of useless stuff like most generic AAA titles these days, but besides the filler, it's a great Tomb Raider. | © Embracer Group

4. Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tomb Raider: Anniversary is an amazing experience that looks and feels like Tomb Raider. The visual direction is far stronger and more coherent compared to its predecessors, and gameplay-wise it's a significant improvement compared to Legend. | © Embracer Group

3. Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider is a pure classic, the game which sets the standard for action-adventure games. The fearless and gorgeous Lara Croft with groundbreaking 3D graphics and intricate level design have paved the way for the entire series. | © Embracer Group

1. Tomb Raider: The Dagger of Xian
Yes! We have the fan-made Dagger of Xian in first place, but it deserves to be there because it's simply outstanding. The environment is incredibly detailed, navigating the rocky terrain is challenging, and the top-notch music and visuals provide an excellent backdrop. It's insane that this was basically made by one person. | © Nicobass
