Lara earned the world's attention as a bombshell, kicking names and taking ass until she's all out of bubblegum. The obvious answer would be the original games, but Lara's personality in each era is markedly different. It could conceivably be a prequel to the other games, but then which other games do you even mean? It's not going to be Angel of Darkness, as interesting as that might be. The problem is Lara is significantly less experienced in the reboot, since it's supposed to be an origin story. Then the whole thing got rebooted again, leading us to the current trilogy. The Legend-Anniversary-Underworld trilogy was then rounded off by, you guessed it, Underworld, which is an actual sequel to Legend. Except this sequel was really a prequel, and wasn't an entirely new game as much as it was a revamped version of the very first Tomb Raider. Legend came along three years later and offered a softer reboot, earning a sequel, Anniversary. Angel of Darkness rebooted the series next, but unsuccessfully, and so this gothic version of Lara went nowhere. The first four games were linked, then things got a little messy. The games have flowed into each other before, but they still exist as standalone experiences, and it's not even one story. Even between, say, Tomb Raider 2 and Tomb Raider: Legend - the two best games in the series - there isn’t all that much continuity. It’s hard to truly link up the events of each game.
