GamerBlipsNow this is a grand occasion - Lara’s back for birthday hoorahs (it’s her eleventh), and her celebrations come just as we’re taking our first steps into a new PlayStation era. It’s fitting that a character who defined Sony’s console now returns to witness its latest evolution, and to take the veteran PS2 on one last, thrilling adventure.
Not that Lara’s relationship with PlayStation has been all smiles and roses. Angel of Darkness looked for a while like it might be the end of the line. But with last year’s Legend, new developer Crystal Dynamics tore down the decadent remains of what Tomb Raider had turned into and laid a fresh, firm foundation for what it might become. Unwieldy complications were removed, and the game returned to the “high camp and grand ruins” formula of those early successes.
