Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

Remakes, remasters, such a hige difference of how a remaster should be made, and what to include. Well This Tomb Raider Remastered is the exact way of how a remasters should be as a minimum. Thanks for awakening my inner tomb raider again :D

Achievements Glitchy, overlay not even setup for this game. Otherwise, its tomb raider with updated graphics.

It's really good. Having put many hours into both the originals and the remasters, I can confidently say the remasters are the best way to experience these games today and I think they did a pitch-perfect job of staying true to the originals while upgrading the graphics and adding some quality of life features. The new modern controls do work well, but there are limitations. I think my one complaint would be that a slightly less-faithful but more modern control scheme with new animations for strafing added would have been preferable for combat because the modern controls I found to be less than idea for fighting. Usually I just ran from things, then used the roll button to flip back around and get off a few shots. Jump Flipping around was more reliable, I found, with tank controls. However, the modern controls work really well for exploring and adventuring and I love that you have the option to switch whenever (and switch graphics to the old style as well with a press of a button). All three games look great and are still very fun to play, though they are a time sink because one slight mistake will send Lara falling to her death in many areas and, true to the original, the designers liked to teach you by surprise killing you with traps and the like. But you can't beat the satisfaction of solving a puzzle or pulling off a perfect platforming sequence that these games give. The newer entries just don't make you feel as skilled and as in peril as these games do. If you don't mind Saving a lot and enjoy old games for nostalgia or historic significance then you can't go wrong. Support developers who restore old games and stay mostly faithful so that more old games will get similar treatment!

I was doing the tutorial practicing jumping and the controls are terrible. I can live with the tank walking but having to do certain jumps are a too much of a pain.

If you want to use modern controls with a joystick, aiming becomes difficult and movements are more tedious. If you touch a stick, you easily fall and have to start the game over again or die. It would be nice to have 60fps in original mode too. I played it when I was a kid but, at least TR1 has these problems, over the years you get used to a different game mechanic
