Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

Support Aspyr by getting this game so the rights get taken from Crystal Dynamics so they can go to a group like Aspyr who will do justice to these games. Nothing is worse than a company that hates their own fans especially when the fans want to support devs when they make great games. The original 3 Tomb Raider games are great and I am very glad to be able to play them in a working order as compared to the broken mess the first set of TR games 1-3 are. Just started this morning and it was so much fun to have this caliber of exploration game in working order. And also getting an expansion for each game that frankly unless they are a die hard fan they knew nothing about it this is such a great price for the content. So glad I got this.

Back to the old times... TR2 was my first 3d 1st Person game! Be aware that these are remastered but carefully preserved games - not modern remakes! If you love retro games they are perfect, if you are young you can find out how games were played a quarter century ago. They now run smoothly in Win 10/11 with xbox one controller - no need of workarounds and buggy gamepad emulators. Graphic resolution is much improved to look good on a large screen resolution - but everything else is pretty much exactly original - motion control, move behavior, camera. If you never played the old games: Holster the gun before jump+grab, keep button pressed as long as you grab a ledge. Motion is still 4-way only like in the old times, so use D-pad for precise motion control instead of the stick, the stick control feels odd. The camera bumps into walls, so for a better view stop moving and press the view button to look around. No autosave points, so save frequently. For real retro feeling, difficult jumps and sometimes brighter lighting you can toggle between old and remastered graphic anytime with a button. Always a wow effect if you go back to new. However, if you expect a really modern game for your money, you will be disappointed.

Very faithful remaster of the original games, highly recommend getting and playing. The music on the main menu gets you in the feels the moment you hear it for the first time in years and all the memories come back. Such a classic game series.

Great to be back playing these games all running excellently on both windows linux.

These remasters are a dream come true for us 90s fans of the original Core Design games.
