Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness marked a bold shift for the series, introducing a darker, more mature narrative and a new visual style. Lara Croft is framed for murder and must clear her name while uncovering a sinister conspiracy. The game featured new stealth mechanics, RPG-style character upgrades, and a grittier atmosphere. Despite its ambitious vision, the game was rushed to release and suffered from technical issues, but it remains a cult favorite for its unique tone and story. It was the first Tomb Raider game on PlayStation 2 and PC, and set the stage for future reboots.
