Tomb Raider: Legend tells the iconic story of a tomb raider named Lara Croft. The plot takes place in Lara's childhood, when she and her mother crashed over the Himalaya mountain range. Mother and daughter are the only survivors, so they decide to survive until rescue arrives. The refuge was a mysterious temple, which the little girl hurried to explore. The heroine finds an ancient artifact in the form of a sword and randomly activates it. This leads to the opening of a portal in which the protagonist's mother disappears. Many years later, Lara is desperately trying to find the relic in order to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of her loved one.

The gameplay consists of controlling the character from a third person. Lara will have to explore ancient tombs and, according to tradition, fight with competitors. It is logical that the girl is not the only one hunting for the treasure. The gamer will encounter crowds of mercenaries. You can neutralize them using a wide range of weapons. The most effective option is stealth, because winning in an open battle will be quite difficult. The player will also have to climb rocks to move around the ruins.
