4. Shadow Of The Tomb Raider - Winston's Return
The freezer geezer returns!
If, like yours truly, you were old enough to play the Tomb Raider series in its early iterations, you'll have done this one. Don't say you haven't, because we all did it.
In Lara's second outing on the PlayStation, you could roam around Croft manor and get some training in. You could also lead the doting, venerable butler Winston into the exceptionally large freezer and lock him in. It's a bit Schrodinger's Cat, as his fate is always ambiguous, but nevertheless it had to be done.
So it's nice to see him brought back in this year's adventure. As SotTR is a prequel, it was a time before Lara decides to trap him. Despite not being mentioned by name in the post-credits scene, the familiar rattle of the tea tray heralds the return (or technically first appearance) of faithful Winston.
Maybe the rattling finally made Lara snap...
