Tomb Raider Chronicles is an action-adventure video game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive for the PlayStation 1 in 2000. It is the fifth installment in the Tomb Raider series and the last game to be released for the original PlayStation.
The game’s storyline takes place after the events of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, where the series’ protagonist, Lara Croft, is presumed dead. The game is structured as a series of flashbacks, with each level representing a different period of Lara’s life, as told by her friends and associates after her disappearance.
The game features five main levels set in various locations, including a Russian submarine, a haunted Irish castle, and a high-tech tower block in New York City. The gameplay is similar to previous Tomb Raider games, with Lara navigating through various environments, solving puzzles, and fighting enemies with her signature dual pistols.
Tomb Raider Chronicles received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising the game’s level design and puzzles, but criticizing its short length and lack of innovation compared to previous installments. Despite this, it remains a fan favorite and is considered a classic of the PlayStation 1 era.
