10 Best Gaming Reboots Ever

Tomb Raider is one of the most iconic franchises in gaming history, and as such, Lara Croft is one of the most iconic characters in video games.

Lara's original run lasted all the way from 1996 to 2008, and while the highs were revolutionary, the lows were dismal. As a franchise, releases were all over the place, with Lara fighting dinosaurs, dealing with mutants, chasing after Egyptian gods, being dead, investigating death cults and more. At a certain point, there was just no way to keep the games at a consistent quality, and if Tomb Raider was going to survive, it needed a reboot.

So reboot they did!

Following a younger, less experienced Lara Croft as she gets stranded on an island, you see how she comes to rely on herself while fighting off the violent Solarii Brotherhood, trying to avoid gruesome deaths however she can.

It was a hit, making the reboot a series with two more games afterwards. It's nice to know that this landmark series can adapt.
