Chronicles received mixed reviews from critics, being cited as running out of ideas for the series on the original PlayStation engine, and is remembered as one of the weakest Tomb Raider games, and at 1.5 million units is one of the worst-selling games in the series. Some levels incorporate additional gameplay elements such as stealth.ĭespite the presumed death of Lara Croft in The Last Revelation, Core Design was told by Eidos to continue the series while a new team worked on The Angel of Darkness for the PlayStation 2, a veteran team developed Chronicles based on concepts cut from The Last Revelation. Gameplay follows Lara through linear levels, solving puzzles and fighting enemies. Following Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, series protagonist Lara Croft is presumed dead, and a group of friends attend a memorial service at her home to recount tales of her earlier exploits.

She finds it when it starts ticking and starts trying to find out what it is. It turns out that Lara's late father found the key some time earlier and placed it in her country house. It turns out that a once in five thousand year planetary alignment is about to happen and a sinister organisation is desperate to get their hands on 'the key' which will enable then to get their hands on the two pieces of an ancient artefact that will allow them to control time itself. Lady Lara Croft might sound like a prim and proper member of the English upper class but we soon see that she is far from that as she enters what appears to be an ancient tomb and ends up battling a robot while wearing short shorts and a tee shirt that shows of her ample assets!
