We've been learning more and more about Lara Croft and the closure of her insane origins arc with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. While Croft herself has gone through immense changes to evolve into the badass archaeologist we've known and loved from games past, the nature of the title itself has also evolved. From a more dynamic environment, to the different weapons she can utilize - we've been learning it all.
