What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Cost per hour$0.97/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 87% after the small-sample adjustment
For context
Refunds4 of 740 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Tomb Raider: Legend is a great classic that can be enjoyed even now(2026).. and game is messed up with lots of bugs and worse boss design, but a couple of re-tries you can still overcome the bugs and finish this game.. definitely recommend to play this game atleast once ;-) and Lara is beautiful :P + this game has controller support. that's awesome
