After a "productive" meeting with the Yakuza, Lara is forced to chase Takamoto to his penthouse and have another "productive" meeting.

Also who knew driving a bike on a rooftop would be dangerous!

The Japan level is by far my favorite of Tomb Raider: Legend, which is a little ironic given the fact we spend most of the game in Tombs or overgrown temples and such. But there is something about it that feels really nice to play though, maybe it's the contrast between the Tombs and a sort of return to civilization?

[Game Description]
"Follow Lara Croft down a path of discovery as she travels the globe to remote, exotic locales in search of one of history's greatest artifacts that unleashes unwelcome figures from Lara's mysterious past. With guns blazing, Lara must use her athletic ability and intellectual wits to explore vast, treacherous tombs, riddled with challenging puzzles and deadly traps. Experience an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Tomb Raider: Legend!" - Tomb Raider: Legend GoG store page.

Tomb Raider: Legend, a game developed by Crystal Dynamics and released in 2006, was my first proper introduction to Lara Croft. I knew her only from gaming magazines where she often appeared in their somewhat cringe-worthy "Top 10 Sexiest Women in Gaming.” Her games never really interested me until I picked up this title a long time ago.

I really enjoyed it the first time I played it: solid gameplay, pretty funny dialogue, fairly interesting characters (minus Alistair), and fun puzzles that, while they were simple, actually felt good to complete.

It does suffer from its own share of bugs, mind numbing bike sections and somewhat clunky bosses, but hey, what game doesn't. My only real complaint is that the game is really short; like REALLY short. Howlongtobeat says 7ish hours, but honestly feels like 5.

[Playthrough Details]
We are going for a complete story playthrough, with maybe a bit of a look at the unlockables we get during our run.

There are quite a few collectibles on this but it doesn't add anything to the story, it's just for extras. We'll get them if we see them but I'm not actively hunting for them; it's just a normal story run.

[Purchase / Store Details]
Want to grab Tomb Raider: Legend for yourself? You can pick it up from Steam or GoG at a decent price (of course I'd wait for sales for anything).

GoG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/tomb_raider_legend
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/7000/Tomb_Raider_Legend/

If you are quite interested in Lara Croft’s games however and want a fair few titles, I'd highly recommend the Tomb Raider bundle on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/13831/Tomb_Raider_Collection/
Whenever Square Enix goes on sale, this bundle and others goes for about 85%* off.

*As of recording this in February 2023
