Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft

This is not only an insult to fans, but an insult to a gaming icon. Stop pimping out Lara Croft and give us a WORKING update. Any future Tomb Raider titles are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you can't give respect to customers or the title.

I was able to forgive the horrible AI-upscaled textures because you are able to play with the original graphics, which is all I wanted anyway. However the new update takes things to a new level of deranged. Challenge mode and level select are welcome features but the whole thing is built around this new set of outfits that are aesthetically horrific mobile game sludge. The outfits are AI generated and it shows with weird melty lines and incomprehensible details. Outfit texture resolution is strangely low - did they use the preview provided by the image generator instead of the full-resolution to save money? Or did they lower the resolution on purpose to hide the poor details? New bugs were introduced as well, somehow. It all feels so cheap. Degrading to everyone involved.

AMD/Intel users need not apply, there's a persistent stuttering issue caused by something weird in the rendering pipeline. Might be better under Proton on Linux, but I lack an appropriate card to test with. Nvidia users (so most of the Steam userbase) can fix this in the Nvidia Control Panel by setting "Vulkan/OpenGL present method" to "Prefer Layered on DXGI Swapchain." If you want to play with original graphics at an unlocked framerate, you need to make a one-byte change to the executable. I have no idea why this isn't just how the game works, but alas. Those two issues aside (and they really are issues that really should be addressed), the presentation here is solid. The remastered graphics are tasteful if modest, and as a first-time player I've quite enjoyed myself with the game content. Admittedly, "modern controls" make little sense to me here as they seem to destroy a lot of the challenge. So much of the gameplay is about careful navigation that it doesn't feel right playing with them, but I'm sure others will have a different opinion, and I'm glad they're here. This is a much better package than buying the games individually in DOSBox wrappers as they're otherwise offered on Steam, and I'd recommend it.

When the only room you know how to read is the boardroom.

Comprei esse jogo em pré-venda em 2024 e foi a realização de um sonho o cuidado com que foi feito. Algumas imperfeições foram polidas com patches posteriores. Mas esse último patch de março de 2026 foi uma das piores coisas que vi na indústria de games. Destruíram o jogo com uma atualização com conteúdo não original e simplesmente não deram a mínima. Introduziram dezenas de bugs novos. A qualidade das novas skins destoa das skins originais, dentre outros mil problemas. Voltei aqui só pra ter o prazer de negativar. As práticas dessas corporações não podem passar impunes. Não é só o nosso dinheiro e boa fé como consumidores que eles desprezam, é com o trabalho dos devs originais desses remaster, que eram fãs que não estão mais contratados. Quem fez essa lambança de patch provavelmente não tem familiaridade com o código original e nem desconfiava que tanta coisa poderia quebrar dentro do jogo. Tem gente até desconfiando que usaram IA pra fazer essa atualização. Agora imagina o trabalho que vai ser corrigir esse monte de bug no jogo principal causado por um modo puramente opcional. Eles não vão corrigir nem tão cedo, se corrigirem. Tudo isso pra introduzir conteúdo novo num jogo remasterizado de 30 anos de idade. Cara, isso não é um remake pra introduzir conteúdo novo. Você tem noção do trabalho que deve ter sido pra os devs que fizeram o remaster restaurarem uma engine de 30 anos de idade? O problema não é o conteúdo em si, embora eu tenha detestado, mas sim o amadorismo. A falta de cuidado. A falta de controle de qualidade. A falta de respeito com quem ama a franquia e com o trabalho original da equipe que fez esses remasters. É como se uma equipe de arqueólogos tivesse passado anos escavando um esqueleto de dinossauro pra expor num museu, e aí a prefeitura mandasse pintar os ossos com canetinha hidrocor pra chamar mais atenção e vender ingresso.

Thank you, AI slop was definitely needed in this otherwise lacking remaster

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered was something I'd been wanting since I was a child. The initial release was insane, I literally booked the day off work for it. For the longest time, bug fixes came and fixed the few minor issues, it just felt so good. Recently, a new mode was added and it completely broke the entire thing. Nobody asked for this, nobody wanted this, nobody wants it now and you've pretty much broken the best thing that happened for Tomb Raider in over a decade. AI textures, lazy costumes, and challenge mode, at the cost of breaking everything else.
