The thing is, anyone who bought a PS4 or Xbox One near launch is the sort of person who also owns a PS3, Xbox 360 or gaming PC. They could just get the Game of the Year Edition on one of those platforms for $30 instead of spending $60 on the "Definitive Edition." I mean, what are you getting for the extra $30? Reassurance that your new console isn't just a glorified Netflix machine? Slightly better foliage? More detailed character hair? It's not like they improved the crappy multiplayer at all.
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
its worth $20 IMO
I think it may sell well just because there are not a lot of games for ps4 and xbox one. But to pay full price for basically 8 hours of single player story again isn't worth it to me atleast. I would like to replay it again on ps4 but not for $60
Of course not, drop that price, Square Enix.
if you hadn't played the game on the last gen systems (or PC) already, it's definitely worth the $60.
If you haven't played it, it's well worth it.
If you have like me, I think I'll wait but I definitely want it.
I don't know why there isn't a Ps3 to Ps4 upgrade deal going on, that's pretty slack.
I'm fine with it, didn't play it before, and yeah I'm aware I could get it for cheap, but I want to play it on the next system. Although, I feel for you guys who have played it already, and want to play again on next gen, not wanting to pay full price to double dip (it's a bit of a raw deal, but like others have said just wait for the price to drop).
