considering all you've got left is last revelation (which I do remember liking but I think was largely just considered more of the same), chronicles (terrible), and angel of darkness (worse than cancer), maybe just play other games.

or you could play the middle trilogy, those are fun

If memory serves they wont get terribly buggy again until chronicles and then it becomes catastrophically buggy in Angel of Darkness

The Longest Journey has incredible music. I never played the sequel games, tempted to though since I'm sure my laptop can actually run them now as they're like a decade old at this point.
Dreamfall is really great and Chapters, while the weakest of the three, is still quite good and gives the series the ending it needed.

TLJ is absolutely fantastic, I love it with all my heart.

i mean, nobody needed to tell me about angel of darkness, i think it'd be hard not to know how poo poo it was

though that makes it tempting to try just from a "just how bad was it?" angle.

Its really bad, my dad who loved the series and wasn't shy of playing games he liked that might not be for everyone couldn't be bothered past the first level.

Wasn't there a tie-in game for Tron Legacy that people liked a lot?

There was Tron 2.0 which came out in about 2003 I think, that was good. Not sure about the movie tie-in though

Tron 2.0: Killer App was quite well liked but has no relation to Tron Legacy as that came out in 2010 and Tron 2.0 came out in 2003. Ok, well I guess the story has some relation because they're both based on the same rough idea that was probably percolating in different forms for years at Disney.

Tron Arcade is also... interesting and who remembers the mod for Half-Life called Ricochet that was just Tron disc combat but not copyright infringing that valve pushed the poo poo out of until everyone played Counter-Strike.

Looked it up and yeah, I merged two separate games there. There was a tie-in game for Legacy (Tron Evolution) but it wasn't very good. Tron 2.0 was the one people liked but it had nothing to do with the movie.

I'm disgusted no one posted the correct answer to this question though which is Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Mix* which features everything Disney is known for; pulse pounding club beats, dancing, and Mickey Mouse loving attacking the turntable.

*Also known as Dancing Stage featuring Disney's Rave which is a loving amazing name I can't believe Disney approved

Who told you that? They get worse until the upgraded versions of the first few games then they get bad again then they get good in the reboot for one game then bad again.

Basically if the tomb raider you are playing isnt the first or second in its respective line its probably garbage.

TR1 is good, 2 is ok, 3 is kinda interestingly bad imo, 4 is good because it's basically just "hey the mummy was real popular so let's ape that" and it did a good job of it, dunno poo poo about chronicles other than hearing it is bad, the one on the gameboy was a decent prince of persia clone from what I've heard, I played a tiny tiny bit of angel of darkness and lmao at them deciding to make it so that you needed to have rpg progression in how you do your acrobatics in a game series that is very centered around knowing exactly what you can and can't do in order to navigate platforming puzzles, and also lol at them just killing off von croy for basically no reason other than "hey he's a character that exists" when he's arguably one of the more interesting TR characters from the series (although that may be because of him showing up in more than 1 game and seeming to have some form of character development), then the Legend -> Anniversary -> Underworld series was good, the co-op game was good (guardian of light, idk how the other one was though since I never hear anyone talk about it), there's some arcade game I saw once and the most I could say was "huh, I didn't know tomb raider had an arcade game" and it is probably just a rail shooter or something, and lara croft go is a neat puzzle game that distills some of the tomb raider experience down into a puzzle game format.
