Well, it made Angelina Jolie a superstar. Few remember her films before Tomb Raider. Who sees "Gia" or "Pushing Tin" any more?

Felt like the ending might've had a bit more oomph if the newest games were any good and not just generic Ubishit.

It’s 2023 and I’m on an ARM laptop so RISC technology did change everything.

They are good. Can you name a better game in the same genre? The only competition I can think of is Uncharted 4. The older Tomb Raider games are too many generations behind to run on modern consoles.

Tomb Raider has become a major movie franchise, so it's not too surprising that the new games from the last decade are essentially movies.

I suspect Lara also started the previous trend of advertising GPUs with 3D-rendered fantasy females.

The newer TR games are actually pretty great. Not perfect but it's unfair to label them as generic. The only other games I know that are similar are the Uncharted series.
