Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

I know this remaster has its issues, but I was willing to ignore them in hopes that they would eventually get fixed. Things like 60 FPS for old graphics mode, 3D environmental improvements, a brightness slider, faster quicksave/quickload and improved character models & textures. Instead, with this new Challenge Mode update, we just get bugs & AI slop all around. Thank god I was able to get these remasters through a bundle on Green Man Gaming and send most of the money to charity, otherwise I'd be very upset, instead of just fatigued & pessimistic about the future of Tomb Raider.

The game was almost perfect to me. Yes, they could have fixed some minor bugs and implemented some of the improvements from 4–6, but it was fine until yesterday, when they released a cheap update full of AI slop. It brought a bunch of horrible, out-of-character outfits with disgusting, Nintendo 64 looking textures, more bugs, and none of the fixes or features fans have been asking for. It’s nothing short of a mess. It’s disrespectful, and they should be sued for this. Don’t buy it until they fix it, if they ever do.

Busted new patch implemented more bugs than improvements, while new content ended up being some lazy slapped on outfits with incredibly low texture resolution (they look pretty bad). Would recommend if this patch would be fixed or just taken down. If Aspyr ever plan to do anything with these remasters, just hire the original developers that worked on this remaster to fix it up instead.

As someone who has logged 179 hours in this game, I am utterly disappointed by this update. What an insult to this legendary franchise; it totally ruined the almost perfect remaster we had. No one asked for these nonsense, low quality outfits that look like they are straight out of 2004. Did they do any QA, or did they look at the blurry AI generated outfits and say, "Yes, let's ship this"? Not to mention the plethora of bugs this update brought. I am going to revert the game by restoring a cloud backup from my PC. That’s how bad it is.

The Garbage Update

Aspyr Media really dropped the ball with this Tomb Raider I-II–III Remastered update. It feels like it was pushed out far too early, with no proper quality control behind it. Instead of improving the experience and fixing bugs, this update introduced a ton of new bugs that actively make the game worse to play. That alone is frustrating enough, but the added outfits somehow make it even worse. The quality is genuinely awful... sloppy, inconsistent, and nowhere near the standard fans should be expected to accept. For a franchise as iconic as Tomb Raider, releasing an update in this state is just embarrassing.

they patched in a bunch of ai slop garbage, introduced a ton of bugs and basically ruined the game retroactively. avoid at all costs, do not pick up anything by Aspyr or Crystal Dynamics at all.

I would have recommended the game if they didn't destroy it with the newest patch and used generative AI for the new outfits they are advertising or used AI for their new achievements.
