Bigfile001tiger Tomb Raider 20 Better -

The user might be asking whether Tomb Raider 2021 is better than the 2013 game. The title "Tomb Raider 2013" is often referred to as just Tomb Raider, which was the reboot, and "Tomb Raider 2021" is the sequel, also just called Tomb Raider, set in the same universe but later timeline. Wait, actually, no. Let me get this straight. The 2013 game is Tomb Raider (Reboot), which is set during Lara's origin story. The 2022 game is Tomb Raider Legends 2, but I think there's confusion here. Maybe the user meant comparing the 2013 game with the 2021 version called Tomb Raider (2021) or the 2022 sequel. Or perhaps the user wants to compare different versions of the same game? The term "20" might refer to year 2020, but the latest Tomb Raider games are 2021 and 2022. The user might have a typo. Alternatively, "20 better" could be a mistake for "2021 better".
