4 Big Reasons to Play Tomb Raider on NVIDIA SHIELD TV
As if you need 4 reasons!
Throughout the 90s, you would be hard pressed to talk about video games and entertainment without the conversation turning to Lara Croft. Her combination of beauty and daring proved irresistible to many, and her exploits even inspired a couple of Hollywood blockbusters. The series has since come back white hot with the new Tomb Raider, a fresh take on the beloved treasure hunter’s saga that’s now available to play on NVIDIA SHIELD TV.
Tomb Raider offers numerous reasons to drop whatever else you might be doing and embark on one of the most riveting adventures in gaming. Here are just a few of the key reasons you won’t want to miss Tomb Raider on SHIELD TV.
From day one, there was no shortage of reasons to pay attention to Lara Croft. Lara has always possessed an interesting backstory and that is brought to life here thanks to the efforts of her talented voice actor, Camilla Luddington.
In Tomb Raider, Lara doesn't back away from danger that would leave most of us quaking in our boots. If there is treasure on the line or an opportunity to uncover a long-buried mystery, she'll hop the next plane to whatever destination demands it. Grit and determination only count for so much, though. What's more important is how capable Lara is, armed with the training that will see her through to the end.
That’s partly why Tomb Raider that is now available on SHIELD TV is so compelling: it serves as an origin story, so the game opens with a more innocent Lara who has yet to become the hardened warrior that returning fans remember from her earlier adventures. During the course of the game, she’ll slowly grow stronger both physically and emotionally, and that character arc makes every challenge she conquers all the more remarkable.
Careful Exploration
In her old adventures, Lara famously battled against all sorts of hazards. There wasn't much that she couldn't do, provided she ran in with both guns blazing. Lara didn't live in the environments—she rampaged through them.
The new adventure evolves this dynamic. More emphasis is placed on Lara's skills as a seeker of fortune. She'll need to set up a camp, hunt for food, and save combat for those moments where it is unavoidable. Moving stealthily has never been more important. If she makes too much noise, she could draw unwanted attention from predators. One thing hasn't changed, though: there are still plenty of ancient ruins.
A Beautiful World
The Tomb Raider series has taken Lara Croft to some amazing locales and this installment is no different. Gamers who embark on this adventure will witness spectacular vistas and majestic sights that absolutely shine on SHIELD TV.
You'll work your way through various environments such as picturesque mountainsides, ancient temples, monasteries and dank caverns. Each environment is brought to life in painstaking detail, so that you can practically feel the moisture in the air or the sting of a chill breeze on your cheek.

Looks and Plays Great on Shield TV
Tomb Raider loses nothing on the journey to SHIELD TV. Everything that makes the adventure such a joy to experience, from its fully realized heroine to the living, breathing world is represented in full force. The visuals are stunning and the framerates are incredibly smooth thanks to the Tegra X1 processor under the hood. Not only does this make for a technically superior experience, but it lets you immerse yourself in the game world and focus on elements like the engrossing story and the wonderfully nuanced voice acting.
There has never been a better time to own a SHIELD TV. The library of available games is one of the best around, and it’s only getting better thanks to the addition of hits like Tomb Raider.
