[h1] Overall peak of the series. [/h1]

Let me preface by saying that I do absolutely adore this game and have loads of nostalgia for this game, but I cannot in good faith recommend this game how it is being currently sold. The game itself is a fun mid 2000's platformer that continues on where Tomb Raider: Legend left off, reworking the original story into this iteration of Lara's background. The game itself takes an interesting twist on the original work, with artistic liberties being taken in story and in landscape. Some of which work out well, like the lost valley area in particular is done pretty well, and some of which don't, with areas like the colosseum being a bit of a slouch to get through with tedious back and forth. The areas themselves usually present themselves in a more grand manner than the original, given the hardware limitations of yesteryear. Many areas in Greece particularly have a pompous and elegant entrance, giving nice ambiance. The corridors are heavy in this game, with a lot of halls with traps just for the hell of it that were not in the original. Most of this was done to show off the new moves that Lara has learned since 1996, but most of these areas come off as repetitive, especially since Legend utilized corridors as well. Graphics for the time are pretty sharp. Though there is no next gen option like in the previous game, I think that is a blessing since it is so unstable in the previous title. The reason I cannot recommend this game is due to the state of unplayability it is in currently being sold on steam. From crashing upon start up, the game not recognizing controllers, and the game not recognizing saves, it really has any and all issues you could possibly think of with this version of the game. It really is a shame, I have fond memories of playing this game as a teenager and being one of the games that really got me into Tomb Raider and gaming in general. It is nearly impossible to figure out what this game wants. I have figured out the issue with crashes (mostly) and the game not recognizing the controller, but not being able to save and not finding a simple solution like the previous two issues is infuriating, especially with the game being sold in this current state. It is not feasible for a player buying this game for the first time to have to jump through fire to be able to solve all the issues that this game has in its current state. I would highly recommend buying this game for your PS2, Xbox360, PS3, whatever else, or emulating it over buying it here because of all the aforementioned issues. The rating I am leaving below is for how I feel about the game itself, not for the issues it has on this platform. I still highly not recommend buying it here and using the other methods above. Story - 7/10 Graphics -7..5/10 Gameplay - 8.9/10 Sound - 8/10 Overall - 7.9/10+

Its a great game but probably one of my least favs from the series. as much as i do still love this game its alot of lara not grabbing onto ledges, jumping into holes instead of jumping onto pillars, falling on literally nothing or jumping to her death just cause she wants to and no clear pathing or where to go on most parts. The puzzles are very long and can be very confusing, so you will defo have to search up tutorials for it. Still would recommend tbh cause tomb raider is just peak overall, but instead id say play Legend cause that game is 10x better. its truly peak

本作品为《古墓丽影十周年纪念版》2007年推出，改作是重置了于1996年推出的《古墓丽影1》作品。即《古墓丽影1》的高清重制版。且更换了引擎和添加了一些操作系统。 此游戏核心是跳跃解密，机关推理，山洞探索，古遗迹探险，boss战，虽说是老游戏不过劳拉身材很顶，主角就劳拉一个人玩起来比较孤独，场景比较复杂建议看攻略游玩。视角转向和一些bug会影响游戏体验，总体来说是一个值得体验的经典作品

Where it all started. The year was 1995. And while I can't confirm having a normal childhood, I owned a Playstation at one point either through secondhand/record shops and the like. It came with a Demo disc, and the demo had the first level of a little known pixelated game called Tomb Raider. Details were scarce, all that we knew that the tomb raider was a real tough cookie who was seeking to join the great archaeologists such as Dr. Indiana Jones, Dr. Alan Grant, and Gina Diggers. Eventually more details came out as the game was hyped. Lara was going to be an orphan, but with lots of money at her disposal. And she wasn't needing just her looks to get by, her games required problem-solving, grit, and ruthlessness. And there were times for that. But Lara was not a cold calculating operator, not completely. She had empathy, showing the appropriate grief of the loss of friends from their deaths. We were teenagers, we didn't think about that, we thought about bad triangular polygons made to look like female anatomy. Still, EIDOS was here to tell us a story about adventure in a way no one ever could. The IP expanded, with sequels, several comic books including a crossover with Witchblade, and movies, which, I have never seen. It sparked controversy and beyond, urban legends of a secret code that would let you see a more mature-rated version of her outfit, which never came to pass. Which even so much as inspired an amusing "joke" published by a video game industry magazine featuring a completely seperate fiery redhead parallel character drawn by manga artist Adam Warren. It was the 90s. It was a "Wylde" time. Lara didn't just succeed, she endured. beyond the Trilogy, more versions released, remakes, but no less important. Lara wasn't just satisfied with joining the greats like Indiana Jones. She was going to fight for her spot as one of the toughest female leads in gaming history. And games are still releasing. While these days, Lara's looking much different, being slightly different, she's being adapted to a new audience. And while the two versions are different, I find neither of them in the shadow of the other. This version, while not being the most recent remake planned, is still rather good. It plays exactly as it used to, tank controls toned down, and adapted to modern control schemes. Graphics cleaned up and redefined. polygons rounded so Lara looks like an actual 3D model, instead of a "Child of Valheim." Traps are much more well-defined too, making dodging darts much easier. Combat is enhanced, so reacting quickly will reward you with cool bullet-time sequences as you dodge animal bites as you dispatch your enemies with your .45 ACP Pistols. I can't stress enough how much dumping the PS1 graphics really changes the game for the better. But like LeVar Burton has said, "You don't have to take my word for it."

Personalmente yo entre a la franquicia con la trilogía reboot de 2013, asi que visitar estos juegos "viejos" me hacen ver de como se retrataba a Lara en el pasado, pero en general no creo que ese aspecto sesgue demasiado mi reseña sobre este juego. 1. Como remake del juego original, pues realmente no puedo juzgar demasiado más allá de las propias imágenes de comparación que proporciona el juego, pero incluso tomando esas imágenes de comparación la verdad creo que se hizo un excelente trabajo al momento de rediseñar los niveles del juego original, tanto a nivel grafico, enemigos, jefes y puzzles, además siento que algunos niveles son cortos, demasiado cortos mientras que otros niveles son bastante más extensos y más complejos. 2. En temas de gameplay el juego es muy "arcade" en mi opinión, como lo jugué con mando pues los controles se me hicieron muy cómodos, el auto apuntado casi nunca resulto molesto a excepción del penúltimo capitulo del juego, además hay ciertas cinemáticas que poseen "QTE", son muy pocas entonces siento que son irrelevantes o no merece la pena quejarse de ellas. 3. En temas de parkour y desplazamiento siento que Lara es lenta o los controles tardan mucho en transmitir lo que uno quiere que realmente Lara haga, desde saltar menor distancia dependiendo de cuanto tiempo mantuvieras oprimido el botón de salto, la cámara sigue siendo un problema para ciertos saltos, a veces no enfoca bien a donde tienes que ir o te oculta puntos claves para lanzar el gancho, también hay que ubicar muy bien a Lara para saltar, en ese aspecto el juego es inconcino porque te ayuda a llegar a lugares que seguramente no llegarías o simplemente te deja caer para que tengas que empezar todo el recorrido de nuevo (si es que directamente no te mataste en el proceso). 4. No tiene logros a nivel de plataforma de Steam, pero el juego si tiene sus coleccionables en forma de artefactos y reliquias, los cuales te desbloquean trajes, artes conceptuales, trucos, bibliografías de personajes, etc. Personalmente yo me pase el juego mirando guías para encontrar los coleccionables y puedo decir que son muy pocos los que son un desafío, simplemente hay que tener cuidado con coleccionables a los cuales no son posibles de regresar sin tener que reiniciar todo el nivel. Conclusión: Personalmente disfrute mucho de este juego, la verdad me voy satisfecho con mi tiempo invertido, siempre es bueno ver los origines de la franquicia y no siento que este juego reemplaza la experiencia original, pero no creo que vaya a probar el juego original, con haber experimentado la historia del primer Tomb Raider de una de las maneras más modernas de aquel entonces me es suficiente, 8/10.

我是第一次接触古墓类游戏的小白，但这并不妨碍我对该游戏的青眼、揄扬。从开局的氛围渲染，到剧情的层层推进，无论是作者宏大的背景布局，还是微小却不失细节的机关设计，都深深吸引着我，身临其境莫过于此。但有些解密难度偏难（对于我这样的小白），手残党慎思而行。另外小tip：对于想要收集满神器的朋友，在圣方济各堂让瀑布断流前一定要先拿神器啊
