Its hard to believe that its been 25 years since Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation was released for the original PlayStation console. Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation was developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive and was considered to be somewhat of an underrated entry from the series. The plot for Tomb Raider 4 was one very dark compared to previous installments because it seemed more apocalyptic. The story involves Lara Croft accidentally releasing an imprisoned Egyptian god named Set who was determined to destroy the world. Lara Croft had to retrieve the Armour of Horus in order to stop the main antagonist and had some fun puzzle games along with a basic tutorial level at the beginning of the game. While some people approve of the tutorial levels in the earlier stages others felt like it did not make Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation any easier. Despite, Tomb Raider 4 not being nearly as difficult as its ’98 prequel the game was a step up in terms of graphics and gameplay. The mechanics in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation allowed players to interact with their environment more and players could use Lara to ride bikes and bikes while being able to swing on ropes.

Core Design also overhauled the inventory screen along with the weapons that Lara Croft had access to. Lara Croft had access to so many cool weapons including crossbows, uzis, revolvers, lasersights, shotguns, pistols, etc. While The Last Revelation did not sell as much as the three Tomb Raider titles from ’96-’98 it still managed to reach around five million copies in sales. The PlayStation version of the game was far more superior than the Dreamcast port from 2000 and the 3D cutscenes looked great by late 90’s standards. Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is often overlooked because it did not have the massive commercial success that installments in the series had especially during the 2010’s decade. Despite, not being among the most popular entries within its series Tomb Raider: The Last Generations still managed to be one of the best games on the PS1 that came out in 1999 along with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Silent Hill and Final Fantasy VIII.
