Hub Level

A Hub Level is a level or area the player (sometimes or always) returns to after finishing a specific task, like completing a regular level. Here the player can choose to go on to the next level or stay and finish other tasks like Challenges in Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris - or Optional Tombs, Missions, or Hunting in Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
