Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

La nostalgie de mon enfance est bien présente, accompagnée de bons souvenirs en repensant aux années 90. (fin plutôt; coupe du monde de foot 98', l'arrivée de Pokemon, regarder en cachette X-Files, les mercredi entier car pas d'école à jouer sur la playstation à divers titres comme TR1, Tekken2, Dino Crisis, Resident Evil 3, Toca, Gran Turismo et bien entendu des coupures pour lire et faire les devoirs, les Minikeums, Power Rangers, le Mcdo du dimanche midi, la vieille sortie le dimanche après-midi au magasin de bricolage type Leroy Merlin et Mac Lesggy le soir, souvenirs souvenirs!). Merci de me redonner l'occasion de rejouer dans de bonnes conditions à TR1, TR2 et TR3. Par contre, je joue avec les contrôles de l'époque, peut-être est-ce une question d'habitude même si c'est moins ergonomique avec les nouvelles manettes; car c'est une horreur de jouer avec les modernes. J'aurais aussi aimé un travail plus poussé sur le premier, car si Lara et les décors sont dans l'ensemble bien travaillés, ce n'est pas le cas de tous les ennemis, je trouve. Quel plaisir aussi de retrouver une Lara sexy et badass, la vraie Lara quoi! Et oui, il y a pas que les hommes qui veulent jouer des femmes sexy (ou juste des personnages femmes mignonnes), y en a marre d'enlaidir les persos femmes en les rendant hyper masculine, ou que sais-je, je n'ai pas envie de jouer ça! (coucou Eivor de Ac Valhalla). Pour l'instant, mon avis concerne surtout le premier TR, c'est celui que je préfère et lequel j'ai le plus joué depuis mon enfance, il a une place particulière dans mon coeur (la musique du menu!).

the latest patch added a bunch of clearly AI generated outfits that Aspyr is trying to pass off as made by humans. this patch also breaks the game for a lot of people as an added bonus :)

this was good, but then they put out an update full of AI slop then lie about it being AI slop.

EN - I think the developers simply picked the wrong day to release the latest “update.” It would have been perfect for April 1st, because everything it introduces feels exactly like a giant April Fool’s joke. Before this patch, I would have written an extremely positive review. This remaster of the first Tomb Raider games worked precisely because it respected the original material, and you could clearly see the passion of the people who worked on it — including many fans of the series. Then this update arrived. New outfits that are completely useless and, honestly, ugly: questionable ideas executed even worse, with textures that look like the result of a failed AI experiment and a quality level that sometimes makes the PS1 era look better. The new challenge mode? On paper it could have been interesting. In practice, it’s broken. And the cherry on top: an impressive amount of bugs that, at times, make the game almost unplayable. It’s hard to understand how an update of this quality can be released in 2026, and even harder to understand how it can be associated with the name Tomb Raider. A remaster that deserved to be recommended until yesterday has been ruined by a patch that feels like it was never tested. An embarrassing update and project management that to call superficial is an understatement. IT - Credo che gli sviluppatori abbiano semplicemente sbagliato giorno per pubblicare l’ultimo “aggiornamento”. Sarebbe stato perfetto per il primo aprile, perché tutto quello che introduce sembra esattamente un gigantesco pesce d’aprile. Prima di questa patch avrei scritto una recensione estremamente positiva. Questa remastered dei primi Tomb Raider funzionava proprio perché rispettava il materiale originale e perché si vedeva la passione di chi ci aveva lavorato, inclusi molti fan della saga. Poi è arrivato questo aggiornamento. Nuovi abiti completamente inutili e, francamente, brutti: idee discutibili realizzate ancora peggio, con texture che sembrano uscite da un esperimento mal riuscito di AI e una qualità che a momenti fa rimpiangere la PS1. La nuova modalità sfida? Sulla carta poteva essere interessante. Nella pratica è rotta. E la ciliegina sulla torta: una quantità impressionante di bug che, in certi momenti, rendono il gioco quasi ingiocabile. È difficile capire come nel 2026 possa uscire un aggiornamento di questo livello, e ancora più difficile capire come possa essere associato al nome di Tomb Raider. Una remastered che fino a ieri meritava di essere consigliata è stata rovinata da una patch che sembra non essere mai stata testata. Un aggiornamento imbarazzante e una gestione del progetto che definire superficiale è fin troppo generoso.

Without the help of people who actually care about the game they are working on, Aspyr shows it's true colors once again. It has always been weird how they excluded Saber Interactive, the actual devs of 1-6 Remastered, from all marketing. Now that Saber is no longer working on it, we get NEW AND EXCITING content from Aspyr or whatever sloppy new dev they hired! The outfits and art look goofy from afar, but if you look closer you will realize that they have absolute horrendous texture quality. The new title and achievement art is either quickly cobbled together in photoshop or made by silly robots with silly hats. The challenge mode is okay: It serves as a level selector at worst and some fun hours of TR gameplay at best. All of these additions could be ignored, but they did not even bother to fix any bugs or patch any features that fans have been asking for years. Aspyr cannot have been blind to the feedback they have gotten this last year, so my only conclusion is that they are incompetent. If they rather spend time and money on an entire new mode but don't even bother changing 1-2 lines of code, then I don't know what to say. Aspyr's incompetence is further supported by new glitches that have been added with this update. Glitches like subtitles not fading away, textures being garbled and music from the main menu persisting during a level (e.g. Croft Manor). I noticed these bugs literal minutes after booting up the game. Has not a single person playtested this? In typical Aspyr fashion, updates to their games either take MANY months or never happen at all. Every old Star Wars game they touched has been a disaster. I dread whatever they are gonna do to Deus Ex at this point...

It was an almost perfect remaster that gave me back the joy of being able to play the classic tomb raider from my childhood! but with the new update it ruined everything!! the game is full of bugs and now they dare to put in AI slop? I am done! My trust is ruined. Dont buy this game. Get the originals elsewhere.

Recent update broke the game completely with so many bugs. What was once a good remaster, Aspyr ruined by AI slop and bugs. Newly introduced "outfits" look terrible, they're blurry and very poor quality. Challenge mode is a good idea that's terribly implemented as well. Next the update breaks things like music, FMVs and even some game mechanics, not only in the challenge mode but also normal game as well. Localization went completely out of window as there's a lot of mistakes in texts. Can't stress enough how much fans were against AI voice lines, and we get low quality AI game breaking content.
