The fifth Tomb Raider from Core Design. Reading those negative reviews about this being an expansion or whatever, I feel the opposite. This was quite good and I really liked the missions and their stories. I think this is a lot better than the previous one at least. This one has 4 separate missions in different locations that are familiar from previous games, like pyramids and town centrum. Last one is super annoying and difficult, but the other 3 stories are excellent. It was fun going through them and see various enemies and characters and like in Tomb Raider IV, the cutscenes are nice. The awful tank controls gave me a headache many times, but they were okay, except in the last mission/story. There you need to be quick, silent and smooth at the same time and sometimes you need to shoot with the scope accurately in the head in fast situations. Not a good combination with these controls. The difficulty in the last mission sucked all the fun out of me from the previous stories, it was just a torture and I needed a guide to help me to get through it. I also had to use a medipack code in the end because it really started to annoy me loading save files and failing continuously and saving every 15 seconds. The last mission also has some serious bullsh*t moments where it's not possible to react or know what to do and you just die over and over again before you nail it. Some of the enemies are really hard and annoying too, but it was somewhat tolerable. After all that it felt good to complete this. I would still recommend this game and rate it 6.5/10. <3

Despite the outdated engine and mechanics, I enjoyed this installment. As usual, this installment adds a couple of new moves for Lara. The plot is just as engaging as the ending of the previous installment. The game is short, 4–6 hours. I give it a 5/10

I only got about 8 and a bit hours with Lara before the game just stopped working and refuses to start up, but enjoyable enough!

That cross is an important artifact, it belongs in a museum. Look, for me, it's not a matter of belief. Maybe there was an ark; maybe there were lots of arks that set out during some great flood in ancient times. Maybe there is one of them on this mountain. But the Ark was just a legend. You found the Ark of the Covenant, yes, but I found Noah's Ark!" "What makes you think it's the real one? The power of ancient Excalibur can only be evoked when the weapon is used in the cause of justice, truth and good...

TR: Chronicles is not only relatively short, but regarded by some Raiders as the weakest adventure. On this point, I have to completely disagree. The episodic storytelling with all its varied locations was exactly what I liked so much about it. The game consists of four self-contained stories from Lara's past. Apparently, Core Design was unwilling to answer the questions raised by Lara's supposed demise at the end of The Last Revelation. The four episodes were therefore presented in the form of memories of past adventures, which former allies and friends exchange at a mourning ceremony in Lara's estate. We learn how Lara found the Philosopher's Stone in Rome, recovered the Spear of Destiny in the icy Arctic Ocean with the help of a Russian nuclear submarine, survived an encounter with ghosts and a demon as a young girl and finally broke into a high-tech laboratory belonging to her old mentor and adversary Dr von Croy in order to seize the Iris from the fourth part, and finally revealing its secret... What I absolutely love about the game is that each of the adventures has its own style, offers a lot of variety and the great soundtrack also adds to the atmosphere. Lara can now balance on ropes and search cupboards and shelves. The game also featured a level editor for the first time, allowing fans to give free rein to their own creativity. Each of the four episodes requires its own style of play: Rome is reminiscent of TR1, the submarine level of the sequel. Lara's adventure in Ireland, on the other hand, is unique, especially as she doesn't have any weapons at her disposal as a young girl. Accordingly, she has to rely on her climbing skills and agility - forcing the player to think around the edge more than once. The last level, on the other hand, tries a complete new environment and focuses on stealth and tactical movement: Lara has to sneak past guards unseen, bypass alarm systems, camouflage herself and evade adversaries. This in turn mostly ruled out run- and gunning. In addition, Lara's ammunition was limited and (for the first time ever) restricted to a heavily modified MP5. All of these features brought a breath of fresh air to the genre without seeming superfluous or forced. TR:C is therefore my second-absolute favourite of Lara's classic adventures and no matter what others say, for me it's one of the strongest titles of the Legacy series.
