Tomb Raider: Ranking Every Game Worst To Best

19. Lara Croft Relic Run

Beginning the list with the oh-so dreaded run and gun shooter for mobile phones should be expected. However, the sheer laziness and lack of inspiration that this title imbues is just so abhorrently uninteresting that it was nearly left off entirely. It's another one of the endless clones that copies the Temple Run formula, sticking a familiar pop-culture icon in place of any other blank slate that can be interchanged at a whim.

There isn't much else to say other than that, if you've played Temple Run then you've essentially already played Relic Run. There are a few things that the developers do to make it feel more attuned to an actual Tomb Raider experience, but even then it's not enough to breathe new life in a dead genre.

Understandably, there are people out there who will engage with this based on the intellectual property alone, and if that's your cocaine, then fill your nostrils. However, don't be blindsided by the sinister method of easy revenue generation that is the micro-transactions. As this is practically the only reason for this game's existence, which makes it a blemish on the franchise rather than a premise with potential.
