The game moves through linear stages with a mix of side-view jumping and angled exploration. Players guide Lara through ruins, caves, and trap-filled areas, using jumps, climbing, swimming, and attacks to advance. Progress often depends on finding switches, keys, or hidden paths, with environmental puzzles blocking the route forward. Careful positioning and timing are important, especially on narrow platforms and around hazards.

Lara Croft

The series protagonist, an archaeologist-adventurer who delves into ancient ruins in search of artifacts and secrets.

Take time to study each room before jumping; many mistakes come from misjudging ledges or trap spacing. Save health whenever possible and avoid unnecessary fights in tight spaces. Check walls, floors, and corners carefully, since important switches or passages can be easy to miss. If progress stops, backtrack and re-examine the area for an overlooked interactive object.
