The first details on Tomb Raider's multiplayer - including modes and more - have emerged from the latest OXM.
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
I was moderately interested in this game before...but now, not so much. MP in a TR game is 100% unnecessary and just plain dumb. The inclusion of MP means $$ and time was sacrificed on the SP portion...which is beyond stupid when you're attempting to reboot a franchise. Some franchises just need to stick to SP, for the good of the final product. It's ridiculous to think anyone is going to give this MP more than a casual glance, with all of the FPS juggernauts monopolizing that space.
something tells me this game is going to have a online pass crap like that really makes me hate this gen and have no hope for the next
So now they can have crappy multiplayer in their already crappy single player. This game looks nothing like Tomb Raider and that's already obvious especially with the regenerating health, lack of swimming, and solving puzzles with magic vision. Someone should've told them that it's pointless to reboot a franchise if you're going to make it just as bad (if not worse) than the recent games.
Why must multiplayer pollute every modern game? I don't mind if it's done properly, but mostly multiplayer nowadays is just imitating other games and doing a poor job at it. There is no innovation in multiplayer anymore. Just doing what other developers do.
"survivors have to collect a certain amount of med-packs"
Why...they don't eve use then anyway
Regenerating Health remember...even despite it being a survival game where med packs would of been a great edition.
"But of course comes back to say that after playing it feels the “creation and execution are coming from the right place.”"
A reviewer defending something he's writting for....wow I'm so shocked /s
"different stats and loadouts"
and they've killed it....why can't we find our own weapons on the map. I hate loadouts they are so cheap, they ruin online games. Let me guess it's going to have every other online multiplayer gimmicks. Uncharted 2 was great then they added them in U3 and it sucked.
