Lara Croft is back: the Tomb Raider 1-3 remaster sparks nostalgia and criticism

One gamer admits he has never finished a Tomb Raider and that this summer he will dive into the remaster of the first three. The confession triggers reactions: encouragement, recommendations and the odd cheeky comment. The remasters of Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3, recently released on Steam, have brought back to life the archaeologist with the controversial attributes. The community is split between those celebrating the return to the classic levels and those pointing out that the controls have aged worse than Resident Evil's, which is saying something.

The discussion also produces a clear hierarchy: Tomb Raider 2 comes out as the most entertaining, trinc by the original, The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider 3 and Chronicles. A ranking that contradicts the idea that the first one is the best. And all of it with a surprising twist: the remasters were recently given away for free on the Epic Games Store, so latecomers can catch up at no cost.

Between criticism of the triangular boobs and calls for absurd objectives, one thing is clear: Lara Croft still inspires passion. The question now is whether the pull of nostalgia is enough to overcome controls that, according to the harshest critics, have not stood the test of time.
