Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered

This review is based exclusively on Last Revelation. If you've played the first remaster (for which I left a glowing review), you know more or less what to expect, but understand that this one takes it even further in terms of graphic upgrades. In many places, the walls, floors, and ceilings have extra 3D geometry added—for example, cave walls are now irregularly shaped instead of perfectly flat, and rough rock edges are no longer perfect straight lines. Of course, this is merely cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay. This is in comparison to the first remaster, where they only ("only") upgraded the texture resolution and added extra fluff (e.g., foliage) to the levels. In TLR, caves look like caves, buildings look like buildings, wall reliefs are actually 3D instead of all being the same flat grid geometry with different textures. This is on top of more added effects than before, with the train level and Giza particularly standing out. The first time I experienced those levels, I just stopped and stared at the graphics for a while. If we had gotten the (proper) PS2 Tomb Raider I always wanted as a kid, I think it would have looked like this. The one caveat is that this new level of detail isn't everywhere; some areas are like the previous remasters, with only texture upgrades on walls, floors, and ceilings. Aside from that, all the good stuff from the previous remasters is there. Wait for a non-sale and buy at full price.

4 and 5 have been beautifully remstered with all the new and improved controls and movesets. AOD on the otherhand still controls poorly, ends abruptly with no finishing scene and in all honestly cannot tell the difference between remastered and regular graphics besides some character models. they didnt even bother to give one of the main villians a new model! wont be playing again unless i hear it actually has some work done to it. couldnt even reassign modern control inputs because changing action made it so that button would no longer function as the grab button. expected better than this but honestly the game was a disaster which only a remake could save. aside from aod its still worth getting just for last revlation alone. If AOD gets improved upon ill make this a 5 star.... til then its 4 stars from me.

Just like the Remasters of the first games, now Aspyr brings the sequel IV-V-VI. Lara Croft's best phase. The guys' work was incredible. Great games.

Great game revive my childhood Excelent remastered of the original game especialy the last revelation and chronicles. I just love this game period.

Reliving The Last Revelation, the best game of the Tomb Raider series now with better graphics: just as emerging as ever!
