Action-adventure game where you hunt relics across Peruvian jungles and underwater caves to prevent a Mayan apocalypse. After Lara accidentally triggers a world-ending eclipse by stealing an ancient dagger, she races a paramilitary cult to find the Silver Box of Ix Chel—the only artifact that can stop the coming cataclysms. Gameplay splits between exploration of tombs filled with environmental puzzles, stealth segments through enemy camps, and third-person combat using bows, rifles, and improvised weapons. You traverse the hidden city of Paititi, rappel down cliffs, and swim through flooded caverns while deciphering clues left by a Spanish missionary. The tone skews darker than earlier entries, with Lara grappling with the consequences of her relic-hunting obsession. Customization lets you tweak difficulty for combat, puzzles, and exploration separately.
