![]() ![]() Lara can take weapons from defeated enemies although these weapons have limited ammo, her own pistols on the other hand have unlimited ammo. Dying via dropping from height or losing all your health puts you back at the last checkpoint which is evenly spaced. You still need to constantly move and jump around to avoid gunfire. Her default weapons are dual pistols and the game uses an auto-targeting system which works well. Lara will encounter enemies throughout it all, mostly being mercenaries but you'll be facing non-humans as well. Other gimmicks during levels include traps and obstacles, quick time events and vehicular segments. A lot of the puzzles require you to find some way to the lever or button and make it stay in place. For example, an early one requires you to pull blocks onto a seesaw type contraption, and then have Lara jump on one end in order to flip the block onto a higher level. During exploration, Lara will come across puzzles from time to time and they start off simple although the solutions are quite clever. She has a few tools at her disposal, including a grappling hook to pull down objects from afar, her own light source for dark places, a set of binoculars which doubles up as a hint system and health packs to restore health. Starring Lara Croft, she is able to climb ledges, swing from ropes, shimmy along ledges and climb chains. The game is an action platformer with a bigger emphasis on platforming. ![]() Roll and Flip – Direction Key + Crouch (F) + Jump (Space) when in the middle of the roll.Tomb Raider: Legend was originally for the PS2 and represents the first in a new continuity at the time developed by Crystal Dynamics. Swan Dive – Direction + Jump + Crouch (Crouch as soon as you release the Space bar and Lara will jump into a swan dive) Handstand Walkover – W + hold Space (When hanging from a ledge) Grapple and Swing – Space to jump and then Space again to grapple and swing across a gap (only in certain locations if there is a spot to grapple onto). Press E to grab on with both hands.Ĭlimbing on Poles – W/A/S/D and Space to jumpĬlimb Faster – E (In timing with Lara’s movement) Safety Grab – E (If you can’t quite reach a jump Lara will grab on with one hand.

Manual Targeting – Z (Automatic targetng is done by using the mouse to change the camera angle. Grenades/Flares – K (I highly recommend reconfiguring this to the middle mouse button) You can hold Walk to the edge to make sure Lara will grab on. Safety Drop – Lara will do this automatically when she gets near a ledge. Movement – W/A/S/D (direction is dependent on camera angle) If not the game will give you instructions the first time you play so you can figure out the equivalent controller buttons. I will assume you’re playing on the PC with keyboard and mouse. While the controls don’t differ too much from previous games you will notice a marked improvement to the smoothness of Lara’s movement. There’s also one vehicle to drive, a motorcycle which is available on several levels. Lara still has her pistols but you can only pick up one other weapon at a time. There are fewer weapons this time around. There are eight gorgeous locations to visit as well as Lara’s manor which unlocks later in the game. ![]() Most of the controls are similar so you won’t feel too out of place if you’ve played the previous games. ![]() The movement of Lara is much more fluid than in previous games, especially compared to the previous game Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. In this game Lara Croft travels to remote locations in search of one of the world’s greatest artifacts. Tomb Raider: Legend is the seventh game in the Tomb Raider series and the first designed by Crystal Dynamics. ![]()
