Tomb Raider, insert whatever number or inane subtitle here, is a terrible series of games. The original Tomb Raider is a fantastic example of just how terrible 3D controls were during that wild time when we thought using a d-pad to control in a three-dimensional world was a bloody fantastic idea. When the main character of your series is only memorable because an overzealous programmer hit the enlarge boob button you have a problem.
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
Not terrible, more like mediocre.
I think the author is exaggerating for humor.
Yes the controls were bad, but that's because there was no analogue stick. Yes people enjoyed her angular breasts, but that's because, boys.
But once you look past that, people really enjoyed the acrobatics and the puzzles, and the varied enemies. And playing a badass female in a medium dominated by machismo was a breath of fresh air.
Says you. But millions of players would disagree with you. These games were fun back then and they still are. They are meant to be played on PC. I beat them on PC and then tried them on consoles and the controls just don't work with a pad. If you think these games are bad, I'm curious to see what you think a good game is? Tomb Raider 1,2, and 4 were classics that can't be touched and the music in them is incredible.
