Developer Crystal Dynamics hints on the new Tomb Raider blog a playable demo for its upcoming action adventure. Very first demo image inside the news!
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.
I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂
Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

“Hating”
No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies
But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.
Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.
I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?
I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy
That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)
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
Tomb Raider is an 8 million dollar franchise, the problem is these developers don't know that...
They have no idea what made the first Tomb Raiders so popular... and therefore the games being made now are no where as interesting or as much fun...
They should be taking a hard look at Uncharted 1 & 2 -God Of War III & even Assassin's Creed.
The early Tomb Raider's had awesome graphics for their time, but now Tomb Raider has been really lame, the games of today are eating their lunch..
They need to go big or go home.. Step up your Graphics, Step up your Rendered Cut Scenes.. Bring back the awesome story told through amazing CGI Rendered scenes..
Back in the day, God Of War 2 used some amazing CGI to tell the story, it just looked awesome..
They also have to step up Gameplay the whole thing just needs to feel more real.. Better detail, better movement, better feel..
I don't have high expectation for this one, because the less a game sells the less they tend to put into the next version... So I won't be surprised if they make the same mistakes and make another half way good Version, instead of set the bar..
(Which is what they need to do to get back on top.) Either way I wish them Luck. -But My prediction on this one is it will just be another half-ass attempt.

One of my very favourite games, heck one of my favourite things of all time is the original Tomb Raider. I absolutely love it. And I understand exactly where you are coming from Crazyglues but I am actually very excited for this reboot. It's looking promising so far, and at the end of the day, I will still keep playing the original Tomb Raider (sad ain't I!).
I still want a proper remake of the first game though, that would complete my life. If they could capture the atmosphere it would be rather awesome.
Oh and also, Tomb Raider was not really about the cut scenes at all dude, the in game stuff was solid and as yet unmatched in my opinion.
