Next up is Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation, which revolves around the story of an evil God named Set who was outsmarted and imprisoned by Horus in a tomb, at least according to the ancient Egyptian legend. Five thousand years later, Lara unknowingly sets the evil God free, fulfilling a prophecy which states Set would return to engulf mankind in darkness.

Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation is a game which focuses more on the puzzles and less on the combat, with a lot of the combat being skippable if that isn’t your thing. There is a feeling of isolation in this installment, which helps build a tense and engaging atmosphere, with a lot of the puzzles that provide a real challenge.
