Tomb Raider Legend was the GOAT
You could jump at the enemy and then shoot him in slow motion in a backflip
DAMN SO BADASS!

I'm not a fan of Lara's overcommitment to her strikes in the new game, which cause her to stumble over. While it makes sense in 2013, given she hasn't had any real combat training, you'd think the later games would've seen her improve her striking capabilities without, y'know, damn near falling over?

[DarkMelokoketo]

I tomb raider 2013 made sense she attacked like that because she was inexperienced. But in the other two. She should be able to fight properly.

[TaliaBloodina]

She would do a spinning kick on angel of darkness if you kept hitting the attack button which was so cool!!

[jasonbruce]

I hate how things just appear in her hands in the reboot trilogy

[definiteg]

I forgot there was melee combat on the PS2 versions

You can tell that the Tomb Raider movie starring Angelina Jolie played a big role in influencing Angel Darkness, that’s why I love the game so much, I’m so upset I never got a chance to play it, and to hear that it was one of the worst, I still loved it because of the story and what influenced it, I so wish that game gets the justice it deserves❤

[Wezuyam]

The way Franklin says "Ugly MF" 😂

[Blossom]

They completely dropped the acrobatic Lara in the trilogy 😂

[STE.B]

I feel more melee attacks would be more Lara Croft. OG

[Motorbike_and_fitness]

In the reboot trilogy it finally looks like she can really hurt someone with it

[alexnem]

Why did they take out the grunts in the 2018 version?

[wadeo_]

Can't wait till we get back to the true Lara

[beneathdatrees]

If only she did melee combat in the first five games (TR1 through TR5).

[roguegalleries]

Old Lara was like 5’9 and in shape now she’s so tiny it makes it harder to believe she’s so physically capable

[FIREDAN]

Can u do smth similar but with other games?

[charmingpeasant]

Never liked the ice axe strikes in the survivor trilogy, they felt so clunky and lame compared to kicking goons around in Legend trilogy.

[Gothams_Arkham_Knight]

In 2013 before she gets her Climbing Axe Melee Upgrade she does the worlds most weak shove lol

[JoseEspinoza-jljx]

Do a comparation on his bouncing tts 😎

Modern Lara is feeble. Can't even keep her balance swinging her arms.
