This thesis explores how the character of Lara Croft has evolved from her first appearance in the 1996 Tomb Raider game to the modern editions of the series, and how we can study these changes through the prism of feminist video game media criticism. The goal was to analyze the changes in the portrayal of Lara Croft in relation to feminist values using a feminist theoretical apparatus, including the work of Laura Mulvey and her concept of the male gaze, as well as various theories of the heritage of cultural studies, including Stuart Hall. The paper includes an analysis of the visual and narrative dimensions of the Lara Croft character in the 2013 Tomb Raider game, which is reputed to be a reboot of the original game from 1996, which was revitalized and retold. The results of the analysis showed that Lara Croft became a more complex and less sexualized character in the new edition, which can be interpreted as a result of feminist aspirations.The results of a survey conducted with the aim of determining the attitudes of players of the Tomb Raider series resulted in answers that mostly confirm that Lara can be seen as a feminist icon. The purpose of the paper contributes to the understanding of changes in the representation of female characters in video games and points out how these trends are related to feminist ideas.
