Lara Croft has starred in 23 games across all formats since her 1996 debut on Sega Saturn and Sony’s first PlayStation. This easily identifies Lara as the most prominent action heroine, and were it not for Super Mario’s plethora of cameo appearances throughout the years, Lara arguably steals his crown for headline acts specifically since the plumber has recorded only 18. Regardless, there’s no doubting Lara’s credentials as gaming’s number-one female.
