* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: After the enthusiastic reception of [[VideoGame/TombRaiderII the second game]] and the divisive nature of [[VideoGame/TombRaiderIII the third game]], ''The Last Revelation'' is often regarded as the pinnacle of quality in regards to the games made under Core Design. Just about everything was fine-tuned and improved upon from the previous three games: some of the best graphics and textures seen in the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation PlayStation]] era of the franchise, an improved engine, absolutely ''massive'' and complex levels, a far more immersive and engaging plot and giving the NarmCharm aspects of the series a darker spin - essentially reinventing the franchise without resorting to a ContinuityReboot. This is what ultimately lead to [[VideoGame/TombRaiderChronicles the following entry]] [[ToughActToFollow being far less regarded by both fans and critics alike]].

* CameraScrew: Like its predecessor, this game sometimes shifts the camera to a fixed angle which provides a panoramic view of the area, but due to the controls of the game (which are based not on camera direction but Lara's), this can make getting around more difficult than it should. Some insistent pressing of the Look button or drawing your weapons usually fixes this, though.

* FanNickname: "Ninjas" for mercenaries hired by Von Croy, even if they are implied to be locals and both script and game files name them as "desert warriors". Just [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130525110535/laracroft/images/d/d0/Assassin_%28Red%29.jpg check]] [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130525105217/laracroft/images/4/40/Desertwarrior.jpg yourself]] to understand why. This comes from limited capabilities of graphics and game engine - their [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110614165958/laracroft/images/3/39/Atlasassassin.jpg concept art]] is far from stereotypical ninja.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Seth]] is a Egyptian GodOfEvil and GodOfChaos, who swore vengeance upon the world when he was [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned]] by his nephew Horus. Upon getting released, Seth uses his powers to release various monsters across the land and possesses the body of Lara Croft's former mentor, Werner Von Croy. Leading his monsters to attack the city of Cairo, resulting in it turning into a [[CrapsackWorld lifeless warzone]] and its military getting slaughtered, Seth tries to stop Lara Croft from thwarting his plans to "violate the Earth" and intends to spread his plagues across the world.

Very soon they'll discover it is impossible to get back on the ladder no matter what you try. Woe betide you if you don't have a conveniently saved game availiable.
