"Lara Croft is the face of a generation. When the first Tomb Raider launched in 1996, the w**k-fantasy aimed at pre-pubescent male gamers, became an icon for females the world over. Here was a main character who wasn’t a trophy for plumbers and turtles to battle over. She was an independent woman who kicked ass and didn’t need a supporting male character to tell her what to do. She stood on her own two feet and defied the usual tropes that came with being a lead character in an action game. The 90s were an era of ‘Girl Power,’ and Miss Croft was gaming’s answer to the Spice Girls."
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
I agree. I've only played about an hour and a half of the game so far, but I've been seriously blown away by this game. So far, it is in no way the best game ever made. And in fact, everything Tomb Raider tries to do, another game seems to do better. For that reason, I would never give it a perfect mark.
But the fact is that no other developer managed to combine into a single game so much of what has made this last generation so good! It might not be the most innovative title out there, but it's certainly an early, very strong competitor for some Game of the Year awards!
Faults? Excuse me sir, I've been playing this game on a 670 and I still see no faults (not optimized on nvidia yet)
thank you. i agree 100%
CoD casuals should love it. It's not a Tomb Raider game so to me it's not worth playing.
Anyone with a ps3/360 should give this game a chance. Just because its not like the old games doesn't mean it sucks. If you liked Uncharted you will like this. I don't own a 360 so I can't say what game on Xbox would be similar to this.
