I’m finally getting around to playing through the series and I’m wondering if the side games are worth it or if I shouldn’t stick to the numbered instalments.

    I tried playing these games for the first time a few weeks ago and I gotta say: 1-3 aged like milk. Most praise for those games is just nostalgia / there wasn’t anything else like it at the time

    I recommend skipping straight to 4. If you’re strapped for time, skip to Lost Legacy which takes place right before 4’s epilogue.

    Those games are fairly self contained except for a few references here and there. Hope this helps

        Yeah, I thought 2 was better than 4, and had more fun playing the first two Tomb Raider reboot games than 4. Found the gameplay with the weapon variety such as bows more fun. Aside from being a graphical spectacle I didn’t find UC4 that amazing in story either. I preferred Lost Legacy to UC4.
