Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

The best and most beautiful way to play the classic Tomb Raider games :) Lara Croft and the environments never looked so good! These games also have a lot of quality of life improvements and bugs fixes etc. The remasters stay true to the original games, keeping all the original voicelines and cutscenes. 11/10 Would play as Lara Croft anyday, HOT

The best tomb raider games with advanced graphics and controls.

After completing the Tomb Raider I for the second time, I can confirm that this is the best game series that ever exist.

Decent remaster; however, there is no brightness or gamma adjustment. To exclude the most basic of display adjustments is either lazy or negligent. I'm not adjusting my monitor settings every time before playing this game, so I doubt I'll be spending much time with it.

If you are a fan of the original Tomb Raider games, you will absolutely love this remastering of the first 3 games! The remastering of the graphics is out of this world, yet it still feels true to the original games. The original sounds are also kept with each game as well. I do have mixed feelings about them adding the health bar to bosses in boss fights, but I don't think it detracts from the original games too much.

I will recommend TR 1 and TR2 because they are one of those 3D revolutionary games back PS1 days. TR3 onwards - the level design, stories and puzzles that rely on visual cues is downright dumb. If I was project manager of Core Design, I will fire the developers for not thinking it through. Good thing, TR was revived by Underworld, Anniversary, Rise of TR, Shadow of TR. I wish Aspyr when they remastered the TR, it is not only the graphics, they also revised the puzzles and level design.

It is a great throwback, if you are a fan of the originals. There is a new graphic, but you can always switch to old by pressing F1. New players can also enjoy if they like advenure games with a lot of puzzles. I have found the new controls on the controller a little awkward, so I am playing on the keyboard. Old style. It is the best, I think.

This is the true adventure game! non-negotiable puzzles and understated hints. These factors make the satisfaction of game clear even greater. 1, 2, 3, still my best part of all of the TR endeavours. It's still a fun game even if you clear it many times. Tank control, which is implemented so that you can feel the thrill of jumping IRL with just using keyboard, is a unique weapon this game has.

The Tomb Raider Trilogy Collection brings back that classic mix of atmosphere, adventure, and frustration—in the best way possible. The tank controls might throw off new players, but for longtime fans, they feel oddly intuitive. Some puzzles are brutally tough, and the game refuses to hold your hand. You’ll get lost, stuck, and confused more times than you can count… but when you finally figure things out? That feeling is unbeatable. A true throwback worth every minute.

One of the greatest projects ever. It allowed to dive in again into the classics of adventure puzzle games. When I was a teenager, I only beat TR3 (with cheats). The first one seems the best among all three. The second seems OP in several missions. Still, I enjoyed all of them. The graphics seem better, the mechanics are fixed, there are some minor non-critical issues. Nevertheless, worth your time.

Really well done remaster with a nice set of achievements that lead you into finding all the best and interesting ways to play the game.

These are my favorite games over the years. The remasters are great. I have been playing these with emulators for years but that doesn't compare to the improved graphics. It's cool to be able to toggle back and forth between the old and new. I love the remasters and look forward to spending hours playing them.

When this release was announced back in mid 2023, I was absolutely crazed and could not wait for this to be released. Promises of modern controls, updated visuals, quality of life enhancements to my favorite game series of all time was all I could ask for. Fast forward to launch, I had pre-purchased this on my switch. Though the games were visually awesome, I hated the modern controls. Fast forward to post patch 4 or whatever, modern controls are much improved, quality of life enhancements are much improved across all games and visuals are much smoother across all 3 games and dlc. I have sunk hundreds of hours into my switch version across all 3 games, but I finally have it on steam and have enjoyed all 3 games quite a bit. Tomb Raider (1996) - Easily my favorite across the first 3, the original Tomb Raider is an iconic game and needs no introduction. You play as Lara Croft on her first major adventure, traveling the globe to exotic places such as Peru, Greece, Egypt and the lost city of Atlantis to obtain all pieces of the scion. You are hired to find the first piece by Natla, who soon turns out to be the main antagonist of the game. Lara must then collect the remaining pieces of the scion and defeat Natla and her group of thugs and terrifying atlantean army. The story, though very minimalist, is enough to keep you interested and captivated for your next location or objective. The gameplay is addictive, you must solve puzzles to progress, collect keys and key items, defeat enemies, and platform. On tank controls you have precision, but lack full fluid motion. Modern controls change that, adding full 360 motion, but lacks precision until you master it. I did not play with modern controls on my first play through, but on my second play through I did (after the first patch) and found them to be easy to use once you get the hang of it. You will be twirling alot to make jumps, or drawing your weapon to jump back on platforms. It's silly, but I enjoy the modern controls more than tank controls now, but can easily do both. Graphics are very good across all three games. They aren't striking in the modern sense, but for remasters being faithful to the original games, I think they look awesome. Lara's model in particular needs special praise, as Sabyr effectively made her model look cartoonish in a heroic style, it fits the art style of the remastered graphics well. You can also toggle to original graphics with one button which is awesome. That also helps you with my main grip across all 3 games, the lighting. There is no brightness adjustment so switching to original graphics is a must sometimes to find key items. Either way, my favorite game across the trilogy and possibly my favorite game of all time. Tomb Raider 2 (1997) Follows where Tomb Raider 1 left off, but with more style and combat. Lara is trotting the globe to obtain the Dagger of Xian, when she encounters Marco Bartollis gang of thugs after the same thing. Then she must follow these brutes around the globe, stop Marco from becoming a crazy dragon and effectively saving the world in doing so. This game is bigger, but certainly not better than the first. I think this game received the least amount of love as far as remastering goes. Visually the least striking out of the three, not as must foliage added and less edges rounded off. Since this game features alot of larger areas, alot of textures are stretched and repeated in an obvious fashion, which they did a great job masking in Tomb Raider 3 but not this one. The gameplay is more combat focused, and the traps (particually the Great Wall of China and The Temple of Xian) are wild and frustrating, especially if you had not played the first game. This game is more challenging than the first, but can be as equally as rewarding. Not my favorite of the trilogy but the first Tomb Raider I played and has a major dose of nostalgia. Tomb Raider 3 (1998) - In Tomb Raider 3, Lara is searching for ancient meteorite pieces that a fell from the sky hundreds of years ago. You are asked for help finding these pieces by Dr. Willard, after you obtained your first piece. Must like the first game, he turns out to be the antagonist near the end of the game. He turns into this crazy spider alien that you have to kill at the end of the game. It's kind of a fever dream of a story, just like the first 2. Tomb Raider 3 goes back to heavy exploration, but this one is much less linear and more open ended. Lots of places to get lost, lots of frustrating puzzles and sections to get through. And this is a LONG Tomb Raider game. Could take you 20+ hours to get through, let alone with every secret and pick up. The remastered makes the visuals stunning, they put the most love into this and the first one. The foliage, the textures, look awesome for a remaster. The gameplay is complex in Tomb Raider 3, with sprinting, crouching and rolling added which is a nice feature. Tomb Raider 3 requires patience but is objectively the most rewarding to complete. But once your done, theres less replayabilty than the first 2 because of how taxing it is to complete. If you couldn't tell, I absolutely love these games. The atmosphere, the sound, the graphics, all of that was lovingly cared for in these remasters, they are very faithful to the originals and they offer a great experience to anyone looking to get into classic Tomb Raider or people who already love classic Tomb Raider. The dlcs included are all a fun riot too, added much needed replayability to these games. Now that doesn't mean that they are not without faults. Most bugs from the original games are still present, which isn't really a big deal. After all, everyone wants go on top of Croft Manor, right? The main problem I have is with the brightness. The original games are already kind of dark, the remasters can really emphasize on that darkness in certain areas. Flares sometimes don't help, and there is no way to change the brightness in the settings. You are at the mercy of your display. The devs have stated that this game is not dead though, so there is a chance that they could potentially add it in a final patch, they added it to the newest 4-6 remasters so it's not that out of pocket to think or hope for. Also, some of the textures look kind of janky in modern graphics. Particularly Tomb Raider 2 has a lot of stretched and warped textures in some of the larger areas. As many people have noted, there is a pretty hefty censorship that the devs implemented after the official release of the game. While I do believe it's ridiculous and shows how little respect Crystal Dynamics actually has for classic Lara Croft, I will not be taking it into overall consideration of the game because I think that it's best moments outshine those shortcomings. Crystal Dynamics is not great for that, lying stating that you are playing an unaltered, artistically speaking, game and then giving you an artistically altered game. For shame. I would still recommend the product because they are my favorite games of all time, and I can live with these shortcomings when playing. Not everyone can though, and I can understand that. Still an awesome trilogy that (mostly) upholds the classic era of Tomb Raider. Graphics - 8/10 Story - (TR1) 8.5/10 (TR2) 7/10 (TR3) 8/10 Sound - (TR1) 10/10 (TR2) 8.5/10 (TR3) 9.5/10 Replayability - 10/10 TR1 - 9.9/10 TR2 - 8.9/10 TR3 - 9.2/10 Overall - 9.5/10

This is a run-shoot-jump game which is thrilling enough for elders like myself (not to elderly, though). The game is alot of fun with the walkthroughs.

Anyone who has played TR in the 90's, would definitely enjoy the remastered series.. Brings the whole thing to life, just as you imagined it to be when you weren't in game.

it's remastered, it also has a quick swap option if you'd prefer the old graphics, everything so far feels like it should, game runs good, haven't noticed any bugs that weren't there in old games, great remaster so far!!

It's like playing the original game but with improved textures so can see exactly what the textures are. The lighting seems really nice. The tank controls feel exactly the same as the original. Sometimes it gives the impression that normal map is used but i noticed the models have had detail added possibly that makes sense for the texture, a bit like a height map would do. Its like playing the original game but the detail is much more clearly defined.

Great games and a good remaster! They dont make them this way anymore. Newer Tomb Raiders are shit.

I don't remember the controls and mechanics in the originals being this clunky and spotty. Like I played all the originals to completion and I don't remember it being this annoying trying to play. I was super excited for this and it feels to me almost unplayable.

Its.. not a good game. The legacy shows through the brilliant graphics. Controls are laggy, as if there's actual input lag, and it results in an absolutely FRUSTRATING experience, even with PS5 controller and classic tank controls (just like the original PlayStation series). Its janky. Especially in the Francis Folly levels. Do yourself a favour, play Anniversary if you can, for the remake of the first game, or watch a walk through of the original games on YouTube. Don't buy this jank if you value your sanity. It sucks.

So spent an hour playing Tomb Raider and now I remember why stopped playing it back in 1997ish. The controls demonstrate why Ubisoft had to reinvent third person movement and jumping for Assassin's Creed. It's awful and most the time spent on this game is going to be repeating jumps over and over until get lucky. At least I bought it on sale.

This game has some of the worst controls I have ever encountered, even playing the internet archive doom dos game is easier, whoever remastered this game should be ashamed especially since you cant even beat the second level of the second game with modern controls due to not being able to boost with modern controls. Do not buy.

Three absolute classics of the PS1 era beautifully remastered in faithful ways. You can toggle between old graphics and controls vs new. I'd say it's even more faithful than master chief collection because they even retained the menu style. If you've never played these games, this is the way to play them. If you have played these games before, this is the way to replay them.

Again like bounty hunter you give it again for free in prime ... really after less than one year its so useless to buy your game .... just wait and click on prime to get it no point at all to buy them

NO! Graphics are great, but the controles are a nightmare. Feels like driving a truck with the handbreak applied!! Menu is not very intuitive. I couldn't even find the option to quit the game.

I've never played the original games, so I gave a chance to the remastered, the controls made me uninstall the game and get a refund, they are AWFUL. I tested both of them, tank and modern.

"innovative" if you can call it that in 1996, utter garbage by today's standards if you're aiming to 100% the achievements on this version. Stay away from this trash.

Why include a modern controls option if you need to switch to classic controls to pull off various moves? You cannot back/side flip, nor back/side step without cumbersome workarounds, and it didn't take much playtime to realize that these are pretty essential moves. If you're good with the classic tank controls, this bundle is an easy sell. The graphics toggle is very nice. But if you're hoping to play these classics with modern controls I have to recommend against.

TR I still the best but all fun games if you like the style.

Just finished TR1, and I strongly recommend this collection based on its first title alone. I started playing games in 2016. I knew almost nothing about Tomb Raider before finding the Steam page for Remastered last year. A chance to play a classic was interesting to me, but I put it off because of the negative reviews citing poor controls. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. I love the way TR1 controls! I tried both classic and modern controls and found them both enjoyable, but ultimately settled with modern for most of my playthrough. The point is precision: Lara has many different moves based on careful inputs. Many levels are designed with her full moveset in mind, and the puzzles ask for attention and skill mostly based on your comfort with those inputs. The focus on platforming puzzles was a relief, since I am not typically a puzzle fan, but the execution here is diverse and fun. Tomb Raider reminds me of the first Dark Souls. Not the combat, although flipping around and dual-wielding pistols is fun. Both games are about mastery over precise inputs within spaces you come to know well. The better you get to know your surroundings and your moveset, the more fun you have thanks to your mastery over the game. The save system is generous (just turn the page in your passport to save at any moment), the cutscenes are hilariously over the top, the story is bonkers and just lets Lara be a badass, the ability to switch between original and modern graphics at the touch of a button is amazing, and the sheer variety and inventiveness is very compelling. I was consistently surprised and impressed with the game's escalations. I see why Tomb Raider is regarded as an all-time classic. I enjoyed it immensely, and I recommend it highly to those who have never played it and enjoy precise gameplay that demands mastery. I may come back and add to this review when I've played through the other games, but like I said, even the first Tomb Raider alone is likely worth your time.

Great remaster. Tank controls are very easy to learn on keyboard.

A great classic and a very well done remaster!

Amazing!! As a long time fan, I love this so much

It's a classic that is well remastered.

She might not move like a tank anymore, but she still got them tanks ;)

still great games

Yes

sure
