Sure, there were revered female leads present during the 2D age of gaming. Samus Aran, Ms. Pac-Man, and Chun-Li commanded a ton of attention from both sexes within the gaming crowd at large. But those same gamers' eyes opened really wide at the sight of the female version of Indiana Jones named Lara Croft. In 1996, she jogged and leaped into the 3D gaming space thanks to the developers at Core Design and the publisher Eidos Interactive. Tomb Raider ended up being a massive critical and commercial success as it offered expansive tombs to peruse through, treasure to seek out, and plenty of rabid animals to shoot down with Lara's trademark double pistols. From that point right until 2023, gamers have been treated to a franchise full of sequels, mobile & handheld spinoffs, top-down dungeon crawlers, and even a rebooted trilogy. We're going to rank all those Lara Croft-led games right here on this list of the best Tomb Raider games of all time.
