First of all, ignore 2-5 hour reviewers, they haven't played even half of the first level and complain just to make you feel in doubt!
By the time I am writing this review, I am finishing Tomb Raider I, and I am in love with it! Memories from PS1 tomb raider came back, and MANY DETAILS I imagined they would be like in a better definition, they ACTUALLY MADE IT! When you press F1 to compare switching between old and modern graphics, you definetely see that it's not one more remaster out there, IT'S THE REMASTER! They redrew many details, they remade and added so many things! Eg: Natla's Mines Level, they added some lights in the ceiling so we can see the new light system and feel more immersive, the lava parts they remade some parts making them move. Egypt is amazing! The work and love they put. The level design of the game itself follows the original of course.

ABOUT THE CONTROLS: We know that the game is supposed to be played using the TANK controls, but the devs know that so many people would struggle with them, so thankfully they added the MODERN ones. Are they perfect? No! Should they be? No! Why not? It would simply spoil the fun besides the difficulty, the game would be so much easier if the modern controls were 100% wonderful. It's true that some of the moves aren't done with them such as the backflip, unless you're with a gun. So, if the controls were easier and nicer, the levels would be easier and faster to beat. It's supposed to be the way it is so we can have a bit of a challenge. REMEMBER: our worst enemy in this game is the PUZZLE, the level design aiming for a good jump between platforms, trial and error, going around like crazy not knowing what to do because there is no tip or map to follow.

NEW GAMERS: If you don't like not knowing what to do, nothing on the screen indicating where to go or what to do, having to die and try again multiple times (you can save the game as many times as you want, there is no checkpoint), having to think and go places to figure out what to do? Yoi don't like any of those? This game isn't for you.

There are MANY collectables, and most importantly? Ammunation for stronger guns and medipacks. It's a game that requires patience and thinking. I think it's totally unfair to give a negative comment since your complaints are about a game for PS1 which was modernized so old gamers and new ones could enjoy it. Just try to adapt to the controls, feel the game, just go for it instead of complaining about controls and keys.

Thank you, can't wait for the new remasters!

Back to Tomb Raiding just like the good old days as it was suppose to be

The first three TR games and their expansions in their best form. Absolutely worth every penny.
