It’s a great time to be a gamer over at GOG.COM! The GOG Games Festival has already commenced on August 19, and as part of the celebration, GOG.COM added four additional Tomb Raider titles to our ever-growing library of games.

Of course, many of us are already very familiar with Lara Croft and her exploits. Gamers can pick up the first Tomb Raider trilogy, along with a couple of other installments of the franchise.

But we’ve decided it’s time to bolster the GOG.COM library with even more exciting Lara Croft adventures. We’re going to get into the new titles that arrived along with the GOG Games Festival on August 19 in a minute, but first, let’s take a look at the Tomb Raider titles that we had available for some time now.



Tomb Raider 1, 2, and 3
The initial Tomb Raider trilogy is available all in one convenient package on GOG.COM, where players are first introduced to the daring archaeologist. No doubt pulling some inspiration from Indiana Jones, the series’ main character, Lara Croft, must use a variety of skills and tricks to uncover ancient, and sometimes magical, artifacts.

The first couple of games in the series see Lara searching for mysterious artifacts, known as the Scion and the mystical Dagger of Xian. The third game introduces a more open approach, with different choices and storylines that players can follow. This trilogy is what introduced gamers to Lara Croft, one of the most notable protagonists in video game history.



Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation + Chronicles
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is the fourth installment of the series and sees Lara fighting against a new kind of threat. Stranded in Egypt, Lara races to capture the god, Set, who she has accidentally set free. The seamless story flows through 43 unique levels as Lara fights to correct her mistake.

Tomb Raider Chronicles is a unique take on the popular franchise. With Lara still lost in Egypt, her friends hold a service in her honor where they talk about her famous past exploits. Gamers are given a new perspective on some of those exploits, with all-new weapons and abilities. Chronicles also contains the Tomb Raider Level Editor so you can design and build your own levels for Lara to conquer.



Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness takes place after Lara’s time in Egypt. Her experiences battling the god Set have changed her into a darker, hardened version of herself. A former mentor summons Lara to Paris, but he has mysteriously died upon her arrival, and she is being framed for the murder.

This leads Lara to embark on a story that resembles a mystery novel more than the previous Tomb Raider titles. This unique entry in the series sheds a whole new light on what it means to be the Tomb Raider.

And now, let’s take a look at the four new titles that we’ve added on August 19:



Tomb Raider: Legend
Though it is the seventh title in the famed franchise’s history, Tomb Raider: Legends is the first title in a series that reimagines the origins of Lara Croft to deliver an entirely new Tomb Raider experience.

Released in 2006, Tomb Raider: Legend brings Lara Croft to a whole new generation of gamers with updated graphics and a gripping, unique story. The game takes place all over the world, as Lara hunts down a mysterious mythical sword, Excalibur, which is connected with her mother’s mysterious disappearance years ago.

Racing against her former friend Amanda Evert, Lara must use a variety of skills and tools to navigate the unique levels of Tomb Raider: Legend to unravel Excalibur’s mysteries.



Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tomb Raider: Anniversary is the 2007 remake of the original Tomb Raider game from 1996. This upgraded version of the game features a complete rebuild of the original game’s world and levels, along with updated graphics and a newly composed soundtrack.

Following Lara Croft’s original adventure to discover the Scion of Atlantis, players get to experience the original 14 levels across four different locations, built brand new from the ground up.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is built as a sequel to Tomb Raider: Legend and the series is brought to completion with its third installment, Tomb Raider: Underworld.



Tomb Raider: Underworld
Tomb Raider: Underworld brings the Tomb Raider: Legends trilogy to a close. Following the events of Tomb Raider: Legends, Lara is still set upon finding out more about her mother’s mysterious disappearance.

Again, trekking across the world in search of magical artifacts, Lara discovers various Norse artifacts that can be connected to the loss of her mother. Traveling through the Norse underworld, Helheim, Lara discovers many secrets on her way to uncovering the true mystery.

Tomb Raider: Underworld brings the Legends story to a close, but it’s certainly not the last time we’ll see Lara Croft.



Tomb Raider GOTY
The last game that we were excited to add to GOG.COM was the 2013 Tomb Raider GOTY Edition. Tomb Raider was once again rebooted in 2013 with more modern updated graphics, and this time published by Square Enix.

Tomb Raider explores the gritty origin of Lara Croft and her journey of becoming the seasoned adventurer that she is. Stranded on an island, Lara must use her instincts alongside whatever resources she can find to unravel the area’s mysteries and survive at all costs.

And that wraps the additions that we’re excited to present to you as part of the GOG Games Festival that has begun on August 19. Of course, this isn’t where Lara Croft’s adventures end, so keep your eyes out for more Tomb Raider games possibly coming in the future.

These four titles make a great addition to GOG.COM’s Tomb Raider library, and we’re happy to present them to you. If you haven’t gotten the chance to try these games out, there’s never been a better time than now! Trust us, you won’t regret it.
Considering the deep discounts the Just Cause games tend to get these days I wonder how long before they start popping up here.

d6nxyzrwk: I have never played anything that came after Tomb Raider 1,2 and 3 (the originals which I own for nostalgia here), except for the first two titles of the new trilogy.

I found the brief summary provided by GOG's article on the other titles quite informative. Yet, I wouldn't know which game to pick first.

In what order would you play the new titles just recently offered here on GOG?

I now understand that Anniversary is the remake of TR1. I would start from that one for instance and perhaps follow with Underworld and maybe skip the others, but what would you recommend?

Thanks in advance.
I think the best order is probably the one they were released as: Legend, Anniversary and Underworld. Even if Anniversary is kind of a remake, the story is partly different and tweaked to fit as a part of this trilogy, if I am not misremembering. Anniversary comes first chronologically, but I personally think the story works better with the release order.

mdqp: I didn't like much about TR 2013 either, with the heavy focus on the plot (despite it being quite poor), the slow, forced walking which pops up so often, the constant falls, grunts, "hold forward to proceed" sections and QTEs. Heck I am not sure I like most of the core gameplay (regular 3rd person shooter with a dash of minimal platforming, the only interesting part perhaps being the light metroidvania aspects).

Then again, it seems to be selling millions, so I can only conclude most people don't see it the way I do. I do like most of the other TR games, though, even Legend and Underworld I think are nice, It's just the latest trilogy which depresses me. XD

Personally, for someone that's not played any of the games before, I say Anniversary, then Legend, Underworld, then try the originals in order.

Legend, Anniversary and Underworld, are modern enough that you can just drop in, no need to un-learn how to play.

For me Anniversary perfectly captures the spirit and design of the original levels and the story.
To everyone that worked on getting these DRM Free and on GoG - THANK YOU.

I've seen this games on sale for years and years on Steam, but I won't buy anything with DRM. Was hoping eventually they would come to GoG and here they are. as such, I feel like rewarding good behavior with purchases. so I bought Anniversary, Legend, and GOTY.

Dohi64: (haven't played deus ex go, as it was an ms store exclusive and I hink it got removed from there as well).

BreOl72: I own Deus Ex Go. On my phone/tablet.
It should still be available on the Google Play Store.
Honestly, I think Deus Ex Go is the weakest in the series.
Lara Croft Go and Hitman Go are much better.
I have it on my phone too (freebie, not paying for anything on mobile), haven't played it yet though, I prefer playing on pc. pretty stupid to make a pc version, then make it disappear not much later, as lazy as the other go ports were.
I played Legend again a couple years ago on Steam and it required a fan patched .exe to use the "next gen" graphics option. Wonder if the GOG version fixed this or not, not that it's a big deal.

The next gen options are usable from scatch in this version. It makes the game even more demanding than Underworld, but it looks pretty well except the weird motion blur
Grabbed them all.

Looking forward to seeing Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider come to GOG, hopefully sooner rather than later. I wouldn't mind if Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and Temple of Osiris also hit GOG, and even Lara Croft GO. I love all these games.
Lara's our girl.

Check out this dope Tomb Raider Tribute to One Girl Revolution my gamer friends.

To be clear it is able to be selected on Steam, the effects just don't work correctly. Or something like that, it's been a while.

Oh, do you mean that the Steam version needed a third pary exe to make effect work as intended or fixed? Well, then probably the GOG version is the same and that external exe shoud be useful as well. not sure though, never tried deeper the next gen options because it lagged a bit and some effects were great but others not fitted my tastes. I always considered it something like an experiment, and advance.

In Anniversary there is something similar but apparently it is not enabled by default. A tweak to show more options into the configurator (shaders 2.0/3.0, higher values for anisotropic and so on)
GOG, please add the release date (2013) to the Tomb Raider GOTY store page. Otherwise, it's not possible to sort this game in the library according to "oldest first" or "newest first".

I'm very happy that these newer Tomb Raider games are now on GOG! What is still missing are the Director's Cuts of Tomb Raider 1-3:

Unfinished Business

The Golden Mask

The Lost Artifact

It's great seeing the later Tomb Raider games here. Could have done without the reboot where Lara is turned into a more psychotic version of Rambo but hey someone probably wanted that game here.
