Tomb Raider: Legend

When it comes to 3rd-party games, he PS2/ early PS3 era seems to be aging like milk. Tomb Raider: Legend is no different in this regard. It lacks the charm of playing the clunky PS1 titles, yet falls short of the "satisfying" feeling of an Uncharted 3 or Tomb Raider (2013). I tried to replay it for nostalgia's sake, and also as part of my GOG backlog, but every session left me absolutely vexed. People are mentioning an upcoming "remaster" of this trilogy to be announced (good luck with the layoffs), but as it is, Legend is another one of those PS2 duds, that's gonna be lost to time.

I Play the game on my phone with app you can find on github called winlator . The game should Have a only puzzle mode to play online that would be interesting to see to play Lara is a 10 out of 10 in looks.

Take out the driving sections and this game is nearly perfect. Heck, even the first driving section is passable at best. The second one though. Jesus what were the developers on when they decided this was something to ship out? Enemies that one-shot you. A worthless pistol that never hits who you're aiming at unless you're right up on them; which then lets them fill you up with their shotguns or rifles with their pinpoint precision when they're in your range. Health packs so inconsistent and random they may as well be non-existent, but when you're filled up on health for 5 seconds the game rains them down on you. Everything else about the game is enjoyable, but I've never wanted to throttle my younger self for enjoying a game so that I could remember it being that 10/10 game instead of buying it a decade later and realizing there are sections of the game that were grounds for terminating the developer who designed them.

TR Legend is the only game in the LAU-trilogy which I would recommend, except for the motorcycle parts which should be played on easy difficulty. Not a classic Tomb Raider experience but at least an enjoyable one.

A great game held back by some standard pc port issues, and some sections that are just annoying in general
