Played the original TR on the first PlayStation Christmas 1996. To this day it is the most extraordinary game to hit any market at any time. Every jump had to be pixel perfect, save crystals had to be employed with wisdom - even if it meant having to spend a whole day dying over and over because you didn't know how next to impossible the next room would be compared to the one you were currently struggling in. The puzzles were often fiendish and there was no internet to help you. Woven throughout this immersive experience was the best music ever to hit a video game - cinematic, emotional, memorable and fitting to whatever environment you entered for the first time. This game was the foundation and cornerstone for all that would follow; including the magnificent Unchartered series.

I love these games! My favorites are : Tomb Raider : Underworld (even though I'm terrified of spiders and sharks), Tomb Raider Anniversary, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider 3. I was disappointed with the first game of the reboot because it was too different from the original games, and there were no decent tombs! But Shadow of the Tomb Raider has amazing tombs and the environmement is really cool.

@heckyeah8292 2 года назад

Shadow's tombs are some of the best, and the Aztec backgrounds are fantastic. I think they could've improved the story telling though, it was never a strong point of the trilogy

@charliefen Год назад

I find it difficult to rate the older games as I was too young to do anything in them other than Croft Manor. I do think the Legend trilogy was the best in my opinion, each instalment (even Anniversary, liked how they tied it in with Underworld) added something. Legend also had a lot of pressure put on it after Angel of Darkness.

@princessejulie6107 Год назад

@@charliefen When I was young, I played to Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3, but never finished any of them. I played to 2 and 3 again in the last years (bought them on Steam), and really enjoyed them! Tomb Raider 3 is a great games, with various environmements.

A new game is being made in Unreal Engine 5 but from the sounds of more recent articles Crystal Dynamics is just trying to rush through the development of this game so that they can focus all of their efforts into the Perfect Dark game which is being worked in collaboration with Microsoft. Also the script leak that happened in August really has a bunch of people worried as if this game fails then it could be years before Lara Croft resurfaces hopefully with a new developer working on the series.

@danijspakuls1004 2 года назад

Not gonna lie, the 2013 rebooted series barely feels like Tomb Raider anymore. They feel more like amalgamations of popular video game trends, with watered down aspects that defined Tomb Raider previously. Also i think the sales numbers for TR Legend and Underworld are wrong, former has sold around 6 million copies, and latter over 3 million.

@mr.sinjin-smyth 2 года назад

Does not matter... the Legend Trilogy just sold very weak, period. Hence, the Survival Reboot trilogy, which outsold the entire original 6 games by a mile (35.2 million vs. 28.9 million).

@danijspakuls1004 2 года назад

@@mr.sinjin-smyth Well yeah, if you gonna water it down for more mass appeal, masses are likely to buy it more. That said, sales =/= quality.

@mr.sinjin-smyth 2 года назад

@@danijspakuls1004 It's hard to maintain the "niche appealing quality" when you don't have the sales to back it up. I actually enjoyed the Legend Tomb Raider trilogy, with Lara Croft looking at her absolute best in those games. But it always amazes me how they sold so poorly, which is the reason why we ended up getting the more streamlined Uncharted-style Survival Tomb raider trilogy, which unfortunately also has Lara looking less appealing and the story & presentation infested with lots of modern "woke" feminist flavor.

Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld were the last games in the franchise that really stole my heart. The newest trilogy are too much the same as all the other single player story driven adventure games for me, with less of what made Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider over the years. I want the games that are more puzzle solving focused with the combat being there but not taking most of the gameplay time. Yes you can adjust the difficulty to reduce the number of enemies at the start of the game, but that doesn't change the tombs and puzzles to be bigger, more intricate and interesting.

@Wawajohns Год назад

Yes!! I was so disappointed at the reduction of tomb exploring and puzzles. When I want to play an Indiana Jones-like shooter, I play Uncharted. When I play Tomb Raider, I want to explore tombs.

@Rawzix Год назад

Nah too much puzzles gets tedious, I think Shadow of the tomb raider had a good balance between everything. For example I didn’t like Anniversary because it was basically puzzle after puzzle, it should have some variety like Legend and Underworld had exploring and bike levels etc mixed with the tombs. Anniversary ONLY had the tombs with some complex puzzles, nothing else… Idk it’s just my opinion and I never played the PS1 games but I heard Anniversary was a remake of the 2nd Tomb Raider and that’s the one game I didn’t like so I guess I wouldn’t be a fan of the PS1 games
