Tomb Raider first debuted on the Sega Saturn in October 1996, establishing Lara Croft as a video game icon for decades to come. I'm hoping if the response is good, then we could see a first-person VR Tomb Raider game in the future. Crystal Dynamics and Prime Gaming are giving away Rise of the Tomb Raider for free for Amazon Prime members in November to celebrate Tomb Raider’s 25 th anniversary. I think first-person perspective combined with VR for games like this creates a whole different experience and Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics is smart to 'test' it out rather than go and make a game based on it. Adventure games like Tomb Raider and Uncharted are some of my favorite games because of the story aspect and the Indiana-Jones-like adventures, so to be able to play those from a first-person perspective would be a wild experience. I don't mind a classic game like this trying out the first-person perspective to see how fans react. Resident Evil 7 has completely turned to first-person perspective gameplay and VR. But Tomb Raider isn't the only classic game who has tested out the first-person waters.

So it's be an interesting take to see Tomb Raider from a first-person perspective. Tomb Raider has never ever been combat free, not that I can remember at least, but I sort of fell out of Tomb Raider after all of the wannabe sequels came out before the rebooted Tomb Raider series.
