Tomb Raider on PlayStation is what I say is way ahead of it's time which I think not many people give the game credit for.
It is one of the few early 3D games that nails the atmosphere and have tension. I always gets sense of adventure and I discovered part of the tomb by myself which I feel like modern games holds people's hand a little where it feels less fun and more I been told to do XYZ.
Also the way they did the water effect is impressive that they distort the texture UV postion I believe.
