However, it was the highly successful Tomb Raider reboot that finally brought the franchise back into the mainstream. While the release of The Angel Of Darkness completely halted any momentum Tomb Raider had generated up to that point, the series was softly revived with games like Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Underworld. Even to this day, the fact that games like Uncharted still use treasure hunting as a great excuse for players to go bonkers with the title shows how strong the core concept of Tomb Raider. There was a time when Tomb Raider was one of the biggest and most popular video game series around, and the dominance of this particular franchise shaped modern gaming as we know it.
