And neither for Apple users, because among them is the Tomb Raider franchise. You have surely entered want to pick up the Tomb Raider saga and play some of its games for iPhone and Mac. Here we collect them all.
Relive the Tomb Raider saga on your Mac and iPhone
Tomb Raider is one of the most famous action-adventure franchises in the world. He focuses on adventures of British archaeologist Lara Croft, who travels the world solving riddles and puzzles, dodging traps and battling enemies. All this to get lost and mysterious artifacts. If you like Nathan Drake’s post-Tomb Raider adventures in Uncharted, this is a similar adventure.
Now, we know that Apple users usually don’t have many opportunities to play games on Mac, but it turns out that Square Enix has always pampered the Apple platform. So much so that we use it as reference in analyzes like the one in Mac Studio. This is how we have the last three games of the saga. Tomb Raider, $29.99 on the Mac App Store ($17.99 on Steam). This is the reboot of the current trilogy, released in 2013 and which places us on the island of Yamatai, near Japan. Seemingly deserted, it once housed a kingdom ruled by a powerful queen with the ability to control the weather. Croft is a recent graduate in archeology who gets sponsorship from a Japanese family to investigate the island.
Rise of the Tomb Raider, 29.99 dollars on the Mac App Store (29.99 dollars on Steam), takes place a year after the first opus, with a Lara Croft suffering from post-traumatic stress. In search of answers, he turns to the figure of his father and his fixation on a lost city. Obsession that later drove him to suicide and drives his daughter to investigate further.
Tomb Raider is one of the most interesting action and adventure sagas that you can enjoy for a long time on Mac and iPhone
Shadow of the Tomb Raider, 54.99 dollars on the Mac App Store (39.60 dollars on Steam), puts an end to Lara Croft’s modern trilogy. This time the protagonist faces a mayan curse, unleashed by old enemies, which will cause the apocalypse on the whole planet. This trilogy is also sold in a bundle that costs 89.99 dollars in the Mac App Store, with a considerable saving on individual games.
Another story concerns iPhone games. We have Lara Croft: Relic Run for free on the App Store, which is the typical non-stop running game, dodge dangers and enemies. This type of game was all the rage years ago, but it has its appeal if you like the saga. Lara Croft: Go costs 4.99 dollars in the App Store, but offers much more entertainment in return. It’s the typical turn-based platform where we’ll solve puzzles, avoid traps and kill enemies until we find the Poison Queen’s secret. It has more possibilities than the previous one and it is also much more entertaining.
