Rise of the Tomb Raider

While many believed the title of the next Tomb Raider was not well thought of, it certainly didn’t diminish the impact the trailer had on audiences worldwide.

Of course I’m sure Lara failed to mention to her psychiatrist about the 600+ body count she racked up in the first Tomb Raider.
