Uncharted Vs Tomb Raider Franchise 

Do you prefer the seasoned “Tomb Raider” or the still relatively new “Uncharted?” Let us know in the comments below.

Lara Croft: I'm the best! Nathan Drake: No, I am! Indiana Jones: Amateurs...

Gotta love how they gave Lara croft the character point, because Nathan Drake isn't perfect and makes bad decisions, yet I'm pretty sure Nathan never almost brought about the end of the world like Lara did in shadow of the tomb raider

I love both games but I’m gonna have to go with uncharted. The story is just way better.

I think Lara Croft and by extension, the Tomb Raider video game franchise, is what everyone wished they'd be if we were to become a treasure hunter. Famous, successful, etc. But in reality, we'd all be Nathan Drake, just flying by the seat of our pants, seeking greatness from small beginnings, in lands Uncharted.

I love Tomb Raider’s darker tone but Uncharted has more memorable characters.

Uncharted was heavily inspired by tomb raider then tomb raider became uncharted

Wouldn't be awesome if they make a game where Lara Croft meets Nathan Drake

I played both Uncharted & Tomb Raider, but Uncharted is definitely my favorite and it’s my childhood game that I love playing most of the time on my PlayStation.

Tomb Raider sometimes feel like a classic, but Uncharted felt more like experiences.

Nathan Drake is more relatable. He makes mistakes and he accepts them. And while it's not like anyone is about to be attacked by Indonesian pirates while looking at Sr Francis Drake's coffin, Nate has loads of relatable things. He has awkward moments, outright downfalls, and some of his decisions stick with him forever. For example, not pulling Sam up in time haunted him with his 'death' for 15 years. Meanwhile Lara is always doing things right, never interested in anything except treasure-hunting, whereas Nate has a love interest, and now a kid.

Jonah: “You’re not Lara Croft.” Classic Lara Croft: “I am Lara Croft, just not your Lara Croft.” Doctor Strange: “You knew who Nathan Drake is.” Lazaravic: “That treasure hunter who’s my enemy.” Doctor Strange: “And do you think this is him?” Lazaravic: “No.”

Uncharted is clearly the winner here. Uncharted 2 was probably the best experience I've ever had in a video game

Nate also had quite a few very underrated allies. Tenzin, Salim, Charlie Cutter, Marissa Chase

I'm predicting this comment section will be a war between fans of Tomb Raider and Uncharted. I was wrong

The Tomb Raider (2018) movie is one of the better video game adaptations in recent years. The original Angelina Jolie movies are iconic, but I feel like we don’t talk about how good Alicia Vikander was as reboot Lara Croft.

Absolutely love Tomb Raider but I’ve played Uncharted and it’s a cool series as well.

I love both..but there's no way Uncharted could even stand a chance. Tomb Raider has a quarter century of a legacy. She's a video game icon. Drake may be one day..but we wouldn't have drake if we didn't have Lara

It never actually feels like a competition, it feels like you pick the winner and work backwards

Haven't played Uncharted yet, but it seriously looks bloody amazing. The Tomb Raider reboot are amongst my favorite games, Shadow of the Tomb raider being my favorite. I think I've replayed it almost 10 times. I'm sure Uncharted will scratch the same itch and be just as awesome can't wait for it to come to pc!!!

As a fan of both franchises I gotta go with uncharted

i love the tomb raider franchise......the latest movie was pretty good. i just didnt like the direction the new games went. i didnt like how they did croft's personality and the fact that for some unknown reason they seem to love to put her through pain and make her moan a lot....also didnt like the heavy emphasis on making her a bow girl....like i get it a bow and arrow is cool, but i like her iconic duel pistols more.

Seriously, if Sony doesn't get rid of AVI ARAD Their new cinematic universe won't last long

You chose wisely. Even if I were to add more rounds, the results would be the same: Platforming: Tomb Raider Art Direction: Uncharted Level Design: Tomb Raider Villains: Uncharted Ancient lore and mythology: Tomb Raider

It's tomb raider for me though I like uncharted as well

I've always found tomb raider to be clunky as hell with meh stories. Ive always loved Uncharted. I prefer the gameplay, better stories, and a graphical showcase of Uncharted. The series has always been a major system seller. The cast is far more memorable than Lara and her butler.

Personally I love tomb raider . Me personally I love tomb raider since I’ve first played anniversary on ps2 then legends on Xbox 360. Tomb raider tho has been an wonderful adventure, the older games were good and overall fun to play. However with uncharted, the characters I like is the brotherly relationship between Nathan and Samuel Morgan/ drake. The uncharted series was good not masterpiece like last of us 1 but good. Tomb raider reboot trilogy series was air grounded, darker which intrigued me by the start, I love Lara Croft. I like Nathan drake.I don’t care who likes who or what’s better or what whatever… I love Lara Croft and I like Nathan drake.There’s no good and bad truths. Y’all opinions have zero affects on how I love these characters. Though I like uncharted, the watchdojo is true to his research, uncharted has been inspired by Indiana jones and tomb raider was created way back in 1996, I miss the OG Lara Croft, but I love the newly rebooted soon unified Lara Croft. She’s like the female version of Bruce Wayne/Batman mixed with Indiana jones and being a archaeologist and tomb assassin, and she’s very beautiful. I’m more invested in the tomb raider reboot trilogy series because Lara Croft has more deep affection of her character development. She’s like playing a female Batman/ Indiana jones like character. Uncharted is a good franchise but sometimes I do often get bored or uninterested in the games. The games have excellent storytelling, but it’s doesn’t interests me at all. It’s bland, boring and it’s like the pirates of the Caribbean. And this is someone whom played all 4 uncharted games. It’s too realism and grounded with no supernatural elements that feels more entertaining than watching people looking for treasure. I don’t understand why people like uncharted? It’s all pirates and treasure. Tomb raider is tomb raiding with cool military organizations and supernatural elements like creatures demons etc. overall this rivalry between the two is stupid, they’re just video games. I don’t fuck with uncharted what much as a lot of video games. I don’t give a fuck about other peoples opinions. I love tomb raider. Though I believe uncharted has better graphics and gameplay, the tomb raider reboot trilogy is superior when it comes to narrative character development and open world with beautiful cultures and religious elements in a globetrotting adventures. I like both but 100% Tomb Raider is superior. It’s an OG everlasting pop culture.

Love the early Tomb Raider games! Please bring this back.

Tomb Raider ❤️

ive always found tomb raider to be more fun but uncharted is simply a better franchise in terms of quality

I grew up with the Uncharted but the Tomb Raider series is just unparalleled. There are times that Uncharted are just blazing guns with side treasure hunting with story but there is just depth when exploring tombs and Lara’s personality and story makes it stand out.

Finally watched the Uncharted film. I like that it goes by its own direction, and I also like the different references to the games. I have one nitpick, though. Chloe's character change, I'm not a fan of it.

Gotta give Uncharted Credit if it wasn’t for the Uncharted Trilogy Tomb Raider wouldn’t have stepped up there game and release the 2013 Reboot which bought Lara Back.

The new tomb raiders are not even what tomb raider was about, original tomb raider used to be constant puzzles and adventure, having to use brain power at every turn. Now it’s just uncharted raider. Don’t like it. Doesn’t make me wanna come back to play it.

I've always found it kind of funny how uncharted's protagonists seem to never have any qualms about murdering thousands of mercenaries throughout the franchise.

I prefer the older Tomb Raider games (specifically the first reboot starting with Tomb Raider Legend) as opposed to the new ones. Lara Croft has become melodramatic like nearly every video game character these days. I rather just play with a cool character and learn about them through their actions, not through painfully long cutscenes. The classic Lara was cool, unique and left an impression, while the modern Lara is just as bland as most modern vg protagonists. Plus there's barely any raiding tombs in the latest games because they try so desperately to be a "character driven" game.

Tomb Raider paved the way for graphics, gameplay and female characters. Lara was also the first 'celebrity' video game character and kind of changed the public's perception of video games being not only for kids. Uncharted didn't do anything new (that doesn't mean it's bad). But without Tomb Raider, there would be a big butterfly effect of how the game industry developed. Without Uncharted? Nothing would really change

Tom as Nathan is the biggest miscast I can remember in a long time 😐

I started the year with replaying the new Tomb Raider games (with finishing Shadow of the Tomb Raider a few days ago) and gosh has the most recent title a great story! I basically kept stalling my story progression to not re-experience the saddest moment in the game. Can't wait for the new series, the new game (and hopefully second movie...). I am so glad that Tomb Raider won this battle.

Chloe Frazier: "Victor Sullivan doesn't have any friends. I should know. I'm one of them." Ron Burgundy: "That doesn't make any sense."

I will always love both of these treasure-seeking, action-packed franchises, but it was obvious that "Tomb Raider" would triumph over "Uncharted".

Sully is the best goddamn character in the franchise.

Some ppl in these comments are throwing tantrums geez everyone’s in titled to their own opinions. Personally I have played both tomb raider games and uncharted. I played tomb raider since it was on ps1. I personally like tomb raider more however uncharted ain’t bad. Uncharted was inspired by tomb raider however they made it different . I also really love the fact that tomb raider is a female character.

the ps1 tomb raider games alone eat up the entire uncharted series. LARA CROFT IS ICONIC AF

I love both franchises but I still give the edge to Tomb Raider. TR 3 x 2 Uncharted sounds just right in my book

I like both franchises and I for me I will stick with both. To me they both are good.

Incharted takes the win for me played both series enjoyed uncharted series more .

I fucking love uncharted and the character of Nathan drake I’m so glad we finally got an uncharted movie hope we get many more

I personally think Tomb Raider is superior. The characters are much more memorable and iconic,the settings are more creatively thought out and crafted,and the franchise is so much more.... Odder,for lack of a better word. Uncharted doesn't have "here's a gargantuan hole under the Great Wall Of China,oh looks,there comes a dinosaur!" moments. And i think that specific nonsensical strangeness is charming. That doesn't mean I don't like Uncharted (quite the opposite,in fact) but i prefer Tomb Raider in most aspects.

Played the both. Enjoyed Tomb Raider much more.

I have an easier way of making this list, Tomb Raider came out first and therefore Uncharted copied off of Tomb Raider and almost every single kind of way therefore Tomb Raider is better the end it's the original nothing can beat Tomb Raider

They both rock. Done and done.

Tomb Raider all the way !!!

I didn’t like the uncharted story in the first game but as a whole franchise they are fun I liked the Tomb Raider franchise more Both feel like action adventure movies

should have mentioned the fact that Uncharted has some of the most memorable Villains/BadGuys in gaming, definitely adds to why uncharted is better❤

Uncharted gameplay is way more fun with the set pieces etc.

Which one of these two movies do you think is exciting and worth watching?

I’ve only played the new tomb raider games but all the uncharted games

What happens if you combined Tomb Raider's Gameplay, hero, and legacy mixed with Uncharted's Storytelling and Supporting characters?

Tomb raider is great, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the Uncharted series. Uncharted is just so much better. I would love to see a crossover though.

Old school Tomb Raider > Uncharted in terms of fun Uncharted > Reboot Tomb Raider in terms of story

I grew up with Tomb Raider so i'll always have a soft spot for the series and the recent reboot was amazing with a lot more depth to the gameplay. Uncharted has great story telling, acting and action set pieces and is amazing in its own right for its immersion into its world. Theres probably a tad too many put your controller down and watch moments in Uncharted though and not as much depth to the gameplay as Tomb Raider. Both are awesome series though and I hope they keep making them.

I feel like the legacy category was in there just to give tomb raider the win

For me uncharted is the best because it’s a memorable franchise. Tomb raider is really good but after the final game in the franchise is completed… It was left with some potential for being a memorable franchise.

The story & gameplay was better in Tomb Raider Legend than the 2013 prequel not "reboot", and yes her character was weaker in those.

You forgot Soundtrack , uncharted theme come always in my mind and start humming the tune

this was unfair to uncharted lol. we all know tomb raider is better in every way

My friend was like fan of Uncharted, until when a movie trailer came up, he completely shook his head and just kept saying "no, forget it"

Personally, I prefer the Uncharted franchise

As a 90s baby I really grew up with tomb raider and loved the games, never completed them but was always fun to play, uncharted on the other hand is cool. And basically I saw as a male version of tomb raider but . looking forward to seeing uncharted soon

they forget an important fact, uncharte with nathan has already died, the saga was closed in the last game, instead tomb raider can continue for many more stories, a tomb raider game with an open world to horizon zero dawn would be epic .

Uncharted 2 (the best for me) 9/10 TR 2013 (the only one from the trilogy i've played so far) 9.1/10

Uncharted, Nathan Drake is a much more compelling character with a great set of supporting characters with Elena & Sully

You asked if I agree with your picks. I do not. Nathan is a far more interesting character than Lara.

I'm an Xbox player so I could only choose Tomb Raider

Idk if I agree here. When I played uncharted, it left an impression on me. I liked the story, the characters, the cinematic gameplay, the mechanics. But tomb Raider felt like it had no personality and was forgettable.

I love both so much, but for me Tomb Raider the W here. I actually think in terms of story telling Tomg Raider is better. I was hooked from the start at every game of the trilogy, where's the first 3 uncharted games are hard to enjoy from the start at least for me, not to mention the rest of those games. Uncharted 4 and 5 are so f******* good tho. It's hard man, but Tomb Raider is better at least for me. Heard a new one is on the way so i cant wait. Hopefully one day we get a Uncharted 6.

Are you guys doing this because of the new Random Encounters video?

Tomb raider started this era but uncharted perfected it

Old Tomb Raider > Uncharted > New Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is my favorite adventure game series. I finished Rise of Tomb Raider now I wanna play the 1st game and Shadow of Tomb Raider.

Tomb raider is greater than uncharted in every aspect for me

Lara croft is the female version of indiana jones while nathan drake is the male version of lara croft

and yet, Tomb Raider franchise being sold due to the fact that new trilogy created whinning baby Lara, who learned nothing till the end of Shadow

That Uncharted movie is an embarrassment 😆 I just hope that Holland was joking when he said he was gonna play Jak in a Jak and Daxter movie next

We all know the real winner Indiana jones

1. Classic Tomb Raider 2. Uncharted 3. New Tomb Raider 4. Tomb Raider Legends

Not in a million years is Lara more interesting a character than Nathan.

Its not uncharted 2 but uncharted 1 at 1:41 folks

Grew up playing TR; big fan of both franchises. Uncharted is significantly better. It’s not even close.

The fact you didn't use Angelina Jolie for Tomb Raider has me disgusted.

if I had to choose one uncharted would win because the characters are so likable and you’re just rooting for Nathan to win although you’re the person that’s playing Nathan

i think if anything they should do a crossover between tomb raider and uncharted

After playing all 3 Tomb Raider (reboot) games and Uncharted. I have to say, I prefer the gameplay of *Tomb Raider* over *Uncharted* any day of the week. Namely because the enemies of the Uncharted games are so f^ck*ng annoying to k*ll. They make sudden, weird, highly unnecessary moves making them annoying to kill and more of a chore to kill them than an obstacle or challenge to over come. I NEVER had that problem in Tomb Raider. Example, they would run right past me about a good 5 feet away, stop, turn around, and shoot a few times then run for cover somewhere else. It’s happened way too many times. OH! And landing clear headshots that should’ve killed them, didn’t register in the game. Wasting more of my bullets and breaking consistency in the game. This happened way more in U3 than any of their other ones. And that right there has taken the fun and replayability of the games for me. That and TR has better weapons to play with. Thats not up for debate. You can even customize them to fit your playstyle. Though admittedly, from TR2 - TR3 did drop in quality, story wise. The 1st being the best. And I probably played it from start to finish at least 5 times. PS3 and Definitive versions. Rise of The Tomb Raider was almost if not just as good as the 1st. Especially in gameplay. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was very…meh. Didn’t enjoy no where near as the 1st two in the trilogy. That being said though, I enjoy the characters from Uncharted over the characters from TR. I love Nathan Drake more than Lara Croft. Though I care more about Lara, of that makes sense. His charisma and wit, makes him so fun to spend time with and makes the Uncharted worth playing Despite the frustrating gameplay. Especially in 3. Elina Fisher, Sully, Chloe Frazer, Charlie Cutter are all brilliant characters and made more of an impact than any of those in TR. And I enjoy the Uncharted story overall over TR.

Everyone arguing whos better when I know that Indiana Jones is the best

I prefer Tomb Raider

Uncharted as a franchise and Nathan Drake is LIGHT-YEARS ahead of Tomb Raider. There's a reason no one talks about Tomb Raider these days like they do Uncharted.

Loved both of these

The fact that tomb raider dev couldnt believe that uncharted 4’s animations were not cgi just shows how far ahead uncharted is. That saying.. i am a fan of both series.. however the tomb raider reboot trilogy is something i really like. While uncharted 4 is still my go to happy game.
