20 Year Celebration Pack:
Celebrating 20 years of our favourite Tomb Raider… Yeah time truly flew by; It is hard to imagine that this is the same Lara as the one who stopped Natla from restoring her former self by using the Scion.
Our Heroin has gone through a lot over these last 20 years and back in 2013, she got a total reboot, focusing on her origins, her drive and what led her to become the total Badass Tomb Raider we’ve come to love.
The 20 Year Celebration Pack takes us back home. After Lara’s dad’s death, her uncle challenges her to the ownership of Croft manor. It is here where she must search every nook and cranny to combat this challenge and emerge victorious once more.
Lara will discover very deeply buried secrets with information filling in a lot of blanks in and around her father’s legacy of understanding the supernatural element that exists in Tomb Raider. Experience this thrilling experience in Blood Ties…
This pack also offers you some great nostalgia, redress Lara in some decade old skins from a bygone era as you go about raiding.
Then there is Lara’s Nightmare, hordes of undead are plaguing Croft Manor, you will have to scavenge and loot your way to survival as you track down the infection and vanquish this evil from the manor! This can be replayed with the full experience of Expeditions, including the use of card modifiers.

MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
If you are a Tomb Raider fan, or you became one with the reboot then this is another absolute must have. You either get to experience more of the Legendary Lara Croft’s rise to Legendry Status, or you get to help create and set it. The choice is yours.
As a gamer who has played every single Lara Croft game out there as they released, I can say that I am more than a massive fan. To see how far she has come is truly a memorable experience. The celebration pack allows us to relive some old memories by changing Lara’s skin out to those of the older titles… For a change Lara might be the oldest element in the room… A very nice memory treat.
Croft Manor has always been a special place to every Tomb Raider fan, getting to explore it like never before was an absolute joy. Defending it took it that much further and made it that much more memorable! Everything else is just an extra.
Thus far Crystal Dynamics has gone above and beyond improving the already great game they have made. If they continue this we are in for memorable after memorable Tomb raider experience.
It will be like 1996 all over again starting the original adventures….
