broken, the game is just broken
they're two options, give the people who purchase this collection their refund back, or try to have some backbone to even fix this game. It's just plain unplayable

Nostalgia even if you never played it
I have never played the classic Tomb Raider games before, but already the first one just feels like nostalgia. The first one is a must-play to experience a back to the roots Lara Croft. The game is packed with DOSBox to run it on modern systems, which is definitely playable, but not as smooth of an experience as being native. The second game draws the series into a more action focussed game, which I did not really enjoy. This has been done by mostly placing enemies behind doors, that might have the potential to be very lethal. I hope you saved just before, because if not, you are replaying quite a bit, and that happens quite some times. But no worries, the third game reduces the amount of humans being between Lara and her goal. You even have the choice in which order you want to visit the three locations (Nevada first!). But all have in common: Vehicles might behave clunky, but o gosh, the soundtracks when Lara mounts a vehicles are just epic!

I miss the 90's
I played this PS1 classic as a kid but never quite got around to finishing it. As I got older I played other iterations but never went back and finished what I had started all those years ago whether due to time restrictions or life getting in the way. I finally sat down and decided not to move until I finished the first one. After 25 years I finally did. About the AI: First of all let me say whoever coded the AI is a f*cking genius. The enemy actually get out of the line of fire. They dont just stand there while you shoot them and they actually wait for the advantage and can often surprise you. Sound: The soundtrack was there in bits and peices but some of the levels had this weird feneric sound to them. It really became quite jarring especially in some of the later levels. (Honestly I'd rather have just had silence) If you are thinking of buying this game buy it from GOG. It comes patched and ready to go whereas Steam does not you have to download and install the patch yourself. I am so glad I spent the time sitting down to actually finish this one.

A relic of video game control schemes
Though best remembered as being the debut of perhaps the most controversial protagonist in video gaming, it was also an early foray into 3D platforming. Unlike it's more arcade-like cousins, Tomb Raider focuses on more realistic character movement, perhaps most comparable to the early Prince of Persia. It's strange coming back to this game and forgetting, just how hard it was to actually control Lara. She can only really move fluidly forward and turning left and right, rather like a car- to make tight turns she has to be stationary, and must roll to face another direction quickly. Croft moves with a now long-abandoned character-relative model, where platformers arguably less realistic but far more maneuverable (Soul Reaver of the same period) opt for camera relative, where no such turning measures are appropriate. While some of the jumping puzzles will feel a bit clunky it's manageable: it's only when forced to battle creatures far more maneuverable than her like wolves and bears that it's clear why we've moved on. Take away this glaring flaw in the game play and the experience is polished but unexceptional, with some nice environments but the game play coming to feel a bit samey over the trilogy and combat leaving the player feeling out of control, particularly against armed opponents. But in 1996 it gave us open 3D environments, natural platforming, approachable 3rd person gunplay and a massive step for games in the journey of finding an identity.
