Tomb Raider: Anniversary

5/10

I love this game, it's a little bit short compared to the first tomb raider game (since this is a remake), but it was fun to play. Controls were amazing, story was amazing, soundtracks are amazing; everything about this is game is perfect.

absolute hall of fame game

THE game have too bug and clitches

stalla

This is a childhood classic for me. It brings back so many memories. It taught me how fun it is to explore new places and going on adventures. Every now and then I played this game for a few a hours and finished the first two chapters but never played all the way until the end. This time I did and I tried to collect all the collectibles. It was fun in the first 2-3 hours but it got repetitive quite fast. But fully enjoying this game today is quite difficult. It has many shortcomings. First of all all you do is jump around in some interesting places. There is nothing else to keep you engaged. There is no proper storytelling and action is very out of place. So the game is very primitive which is normal for a 20 years old game. If you decide to play this game use some mods like rewind tools or you might give up halfway. The game was very fun to play 20 years ago as a kid but right now the game is very outdated and it feels this way even more because it is a remake of an even older game (1997). But this game could be a great introduction to gaming for people who havent played many games. It is a very simple and straight forward game when you figure out the controls and the game flow. Solving controls is a puzzle in itself and a much harder puzzle than most of the puzzles that are present in the game. You need to indicate your actions for a bit before acting on them or it doesnt acknowledge the input if you act too fast. For instance if you want to jump 90 degrees while swinging you should point back the joystick for 1sec then jump if you jump sooner you will fall to your death which happens quite often. About the game flow, everything in this game is scripted, there is little to none freedom to do things differently. You must do every jump, every move in the correct order and this order is not apparent at all most of the times. So you will die quite a lot for no good reason. That's why I think this game should be played with some mods like rewind tools. Some puzzles were really challenging and fun but most of them were quite easy. Trying to get all the collectibles was also a fun way to explore the game's world but if you dont have mods to ease up your journey it will be very frustrating. Very excited for the upcoming second remake, Legacy of Atlantis! Hope it becomes a very successful and well made game, because this game is absolutely fascinating and definitely deserves the second remake! ps. If you decide to play this game, never play on a higher refresh rate then 59hz. The game doesnt work properly and it makes it even more buggy and glitchy. Don't even try.
