The series has generally been met with critical acclaim, and Lara Croft has become one of the most recognisable video game protagonists, winning accolades and earning places on the Walk of Game and Guinness World Records. Tomb Raider games have sold over 88 million copies worldwide by 2022. Other developers have contributed to spin-off titles and ports of mainline entries.
