Tomb Raider 2013 Deserves a Second Chance

I just replayed the Tomb Raider reboot in 2025, and honestly… it surprised me. This game still holds up—maybe even more than I expected. From its cinematic opening to the gritty survival tone, there’s something refreshing about how focused and polished it feels today. In this video, I reflect on what aged well, what didn’t, and why this linear single-player adventure might be exactly the kind of game we’re missing in 2025 & beyond. Whether you skipped it back in the day or just haven’t touched it in years, Tomb Raider (2013) is worth another look. #gaming #pcgaming 00:00 – Why I Gave Tomb Raider Another Shot 01:42 – The Opening, Gameplay, and Progression Surprised Me 03:33 – The Survival Tone and 2013 Vibe Still Work 05:12 – Games Like This Barely Exist Anymore
