Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered Offers Nostalgic Updates With Mixed Results

The collection modernizes three classic titles but highlights both their strengths and enduring flaws, including the divisive Angel of Darkness.

  • Aspyr's remaster includes updated graphics, customizable controls, and added features like photo mode and a Flyby Camera Maker for dynamic action shots.
  • Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider V: Chronicles retain their classic gameplay but show signs of formula fatigue, with Chronicles offering more varied settings and a lighter tone.
  • Tomb Raider VI: The Angel of Darkness receives the most enhancements, including restored content, improved controls, and technical fixes, but its core design issues persist.
  • The remastered visuals improve textures, lighting, and environmental details, but some changes clash with the original art direction and gameplay design.
  • While the collection appeals to dedicated fans, the dated mechanics and repetitive gameplay may limit its appeal to newcomers or casual players.
