Retro remakes are a funny old kettle of fish. While there's an undeniable nostalgic pleasure of re-treading old ground (albeit after it's had a healthy dose of next-gen spit and polish), there's always the danger that with the sheer pace of development in games over the intervening years, what you're left with somehow doesn't quite cut the mustard any longer. This uneasy balance is more than evident with Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
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.
The Tomb Raider Collection is on sale for $50.50 as part of the Humble Store’s Tomb Raider Week. The collection normally retails for over $200.
The Tomb Raider Collection includes every Tomb Raider game ever released for PC prior to Shadow of the Tomb Raider, including the award-winning Rise of the Tomb Raider and the top-down shooter Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris.
Two of Lara Croft's Xbox 360 adventures, Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary, are now playable on Xbox One.
New games are always welcome but still waiting, for reasons unknown, on the Microsoft published Ninja Gaiden 2.
I would rather they released 4K patches for Unpatched Xbox One games rather than last gen games
still no dantes inferno or ninja gaiden 2???????
I'm starting to get impatient
