Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

The original version is great, but this remake is second to none! And it works on Linux as well! The original version didn't work on Linux at all, but all three parts seem to work perfectly in this system.

I never liked Tank-controls. i found them extremely awkward and clunky, just not, what I like. So I bought this game thinking, that the modern controls will help me. I was wrong. They suck. Really hard. What adds insult to injury is, that the tutorial refers to console-controls, like "Use the D-Pad!" and stuff like that. Even thoughj I was never a fan of tank-controls, I know Laras move-set. I tried to replicate all the moves via the modern controls and...I just can't. This is a game, that requires rather precise movement at certain points and the modern controls kinda make it even harder, than before. For me, this game is unplayable.

Buying them on sale and playing them for a while: The old trilogy has been masterly restored with a lot of passion. The good and the bad aspects of the original games are all still here in full glory. They even added an option for updated controls, which was a good idea on paper, but with these you can't even get the first secret of the first game because you can't do a backwards jump anymore. So I played with the old tank controls, like back in the day. But then they nullified every good will and intention and censored it for modern audiences, what is always unforgivable, especially for gamers like me, who nowadays can't buy half of all steam games in their country anymore, the censorship of old games has to stop hard and fast. I won't support the ME 1-3 and the SH2 remakes for the same reason. For TR 1-3, only the Mods are the real heroes of the story. Furthermore, it's April 2025 now and some of the achievements are still broken.

Nach gefühlt hundert Jahren immernoch ein Spiel das hundert mal besser ist als der ganze neue Kram. Spannen, tolle Story, herausfordernd. Remastert dürfte noch etwas besser sein von der Auflösung. Ansonsten Daumen hoch.

Der schmale Grat zwischen moderner Optik und Retrofeeling wurde ganz klar getroffen. Die Spiele sprechen sowieso für sich selbst und sind auch heute noch absolut spielenswert. Eine klare Empfehlung für Leute, die Abenteuerspiele mit einer Prise Action zu schätzen wissen.
