Ten years later the fantastic job that Crystal Dynamics' did with its 2013 Tomb Raider reboot has become even more apparent to me. The mature, 18-rated game took the campy, bright and cartoonish Lara Croft of earlier games and, instead, delivered a dark, hyper violent and at times gripping coming of age origin story with a strong female protagonist.

Yes, there’s absolutely no doubting that this game, as well as its sequels Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, owed a lot to the excellent Uncharted series of games, but Crystal Dynamics delivered an action adventure platformer with a markedly different tone, protagonist and cast of supporting characters. It was a hit.
Fast forward and that hit Tomb Raider reboot is now $2.99/£2.49 at Steam, and after picking it up myself, I thought I would bring it to the PC Gamer community’s attention, as I think it’s a great PC gaming experience to get stuck into in the January gaming doldrums. You can check out the full details of the game below.
Tomb Raider |$2.99/£2.49 at Steam (80% off)With over 140,000 ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ reviews from PC gamers on Steam, Crystal Dynamics' dark and violent Tomb Raider reboot from 2013 is a lot of quality PC gaming for, right now, very little spend. I’ve played this myself and rate it highly. The second game in the series, Rise of the Tomb Raider, is well worth a play, too.View Deal

If you’re a big fan of Tomb Raider already, I’d also suggestchecking out the series on CDKeys. The Tomb Raider reboot isn’t quiet as cheap there, but there are plenty of options to pick up editions of the game (and its sequels) with bonus DLC bundled in for a bit more spend. Many of these extras are cosmetics, but there are a few extra playable tombs to raid, for example. Here’s my top pick from what CDKeys offers.
Tomb Raider - Game of The Year Edition |$4.39/£2.99 at Steam (92% off)This version of the reboot includes a few extra things, such as the Tomb of the Lost Adventurer DLC and some extra player outfits for Lara. There’s multiplayer extras, too, but I doubt anyone is still playing this game’s online offering. Still, if you can spare the extra cents/pennies, it may be the better edition for you.View Deal

I’ve also noticed that both sequels, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, are also heavily discounted right now on Steam. I’ve played and completed Rise of the Tomb Raider and, while the narrative is maybe not quite as impactful as the first game, it does offer plenty more action and tomb raiding, as well as a few graphical upgrades. Well worth a look if you’ve got six bucks to spare.
Rise of the Tomb Raider |$5.99/£4.99 at Steam (80% off)This sequel to Tomb Raider is even more polished and offers plenty more exhilarating action and tomb raiding. The narrative isn’t quite as hot, but aside from that it’s well worth its low entry price right now. This special edition includes the base game and all the content from its season pass, too.View Deal
