in the past


De todos esse é o melhor TR que zerei até agora, ele é um remake muito sólido que melhora tudo original, isso fica mais claro com eu tendo zerado ele recentemente, talvez ele só perca no level designe, mas em combate, exploração, level designe e gameplay de plataforma esse é muito superior.

Nice little remake of the original Tomb Raider game.

Good enough reimagining of a classic. Still holds up.


O melhor REMAKE do classico Tomb raider 1 de PS1/Saturn!!

Played this before the original. Does a lovely job of modernising the controls and paying homage to the original levels.

So they remade Tomb Raider, pretty big responsibility huh.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is an awesome remake and love letter to the Tomb Raider series. This was my first playthrough since after playing the original Tomb Raider, and I can confidently say that the developers achieved their ambitions:

“The old and the new; the familiar and the undiscovered; the mix of the past and the present that is at the core of every Tomb Raider experience was at the core of our effort for this game as well. A game that holds true to it's predecessor yet still stands out as a thrilling adventure all on its own.”

Excuse me for blatantly ripping off that paragraph from a heartfelt note for the fans found in the games extras, but I really think there's no better way to describe the vision than how the developers have done so.

Coming off the back of Legend, Anniversary manages to improve on it doubly from a gameplay perspective. The core level design here is just so damn engaging and honestly quite difficult to put down. It has a good difficulty curve, is very replayable, and going for 100% is a blast as it encourages two playstyles that result in distinctly different experiences.

The first is exploration based à la the search for artifacts and relics. Outside of a small few these are very well hidden and I had plenty of fun searching for them throughout every level, something I couldn't really say personally for most Tomb Raider games. The second is speed based throughout the time trials which I admit I haven't tried yet. If I revisit the game then I'm giving it a go for sure, the level design is too damn good for it to not be incredibly fun and potentially more challenging as well.

The most impressive part is how all of the above was implemented while simultaneously preserving the spirit of the original, and shaking things up to feel like a more contemporary experience. The amount of “I remember this part!” pointing at the screen moments I had while playing was pretty extraordinary for how different these sections actually end up playing (alright MAYBE I didn't point at the screen like a child but I definitely said it out loud to myself a lot!). I like to imagine if I could have been an older, more experienced Tomb Raider fan when this was released, those moments would have hit even harder.

Even though the story has been altered and expanded slightly, adding in some nice extra characterisation, they made the great decision of leaving that expansion to purely the cutscenes. This helped retain some of the original identity. It must have been difficult to resist throwing snarky dialogue in the levels like in Legend, considering just how FUN that was, but I'm glad they didn't in the end. It meant that various atmospheres are still present throughout: isolation, adventure, discovery, tension. Of course though, they aren’t exactly the same feeling. I'm being kind of repetitive so I hope you're sensing the theme I’m getting at here: The same, but different. The same,,, but different…

Anniversary does by no means replace Tomb Raider 1, it stands alongside it as a modern reimagining of, and alternative to, a great gaming classic, that anyone can enjoy. If someone was to only play a single Tomb Raider game, I would definitely point them in the direction of this one.




OH AND AND AND huge shout-out to Croft Manor. They turned her mansion into a freaking metroidvania bro. That's just frickin rad!! Sick. Awesome. Wonderful. Lovely.

It's flawed and not perfect but I love it and will die on this hill

não lembro de nada mas eu sei que joguei isso

Those who played the original Tomb Raider 1, will notice some similarities with this one, although lots of things changed and it comes with new mechanics and a more developed story. I still prefer the original over this one, though it has its perks as well. It is still a great game with beautiful scenarios.

Listen, I will absolutely believe you if you say to me the Tomb Raider games are great games. I will believe there is valid reason if you say that the very first Tomb Raider is your favourite game of all time. But specifically the Steam port (which is the version I played) of the Anniversary edition is so broken it makes a shattered plate look like it was just bought brand new at IKEA. I won't be playing this game again anytime soon and it low key soured my taste for the whole series.

Beaucoup aimé cette trilogie, comment elle réexploite la mythologie du premier volet pour créer une histoire familiale touchante.

this one is MUCH, MUCH better than Legend
truly enjoy this game, i know its a remake but i love the level design, the graphics are charming, i love the playability

Un buen juego, pero que con respecto a Legend fue un paso atrás. Eso sí, visualmente era un verdadero prodigio incluso para su época.

Tem a melhor fase de mansão Croft de toda a saga. A trilha sonora dela é algo de outro nível. Agora falando do jogo em geral: ele tinha tudo para superar o original, mas pecou em forçar demais uma Lara boazinha, ter QTEs e alguns probleminhas na jogabilidade. Apesar disso tudo, ele tem uma jogabilidade muito gostosa e é um excelente jogo.

The PC port is terrible. Is a great game, butt if you play it, you must to play de original in original hardware.

It was at this moment when little Johnny found out he didn't wanna play with beyblades anymore.

Crazy how they remade the same game TWICE

Capitalism breeds innovation 6 Uncharted/Tomb Raider games in 5 years

Eu não sei se voltarei algum dia para esse jogo, mas foram umas 10 horinhas divertidas.

I liked this quite a bit. It's a quiet and contemplative experience chock full of decent puzzle elements to keep you intrigued and a few non-human enemies to dispatch in a sparing way now and again.

Some puzzles and checkpoints are quite infuriating, however, and the camera angling does you few favours. The 'rage' mechanic is extremely hit-and-miss right up to the end and on top of that - there's some very buggy areas.

I played this on the PSP and it looked incredible for that system. It's well-lit and has very crisp details despite the graphical downgrade. perhaps some of the control issues I had are due to that system, but looking at video walkthroughs (which were a godsend), it seems those playing on the PS3 had similar issues.

Fun overall but I doubt I'll replay this one.


It's really good! This remake of the original captures a lot of what made Tomb Raider so good in the first place. A lot of the changes made to the original feel very thoughtful, like some of the changed level design and story structure. The climbing can feel very automated at times, which leads to inconsistencies the original didn't have, and some deaths that feel undeserved. overall though, this is a fine entry in the series, and an easy recommendation!

My father watched me play this game and even he was invested in me solving the puzzles.
I missed a lot of the golden age games and I always say to myself that I need to play them and this game is a perfect example why I should give them a chance.
Even tho this one is a remake.

This game truly is a TOMB RAIDER experience! I loved all of this game even the difficult parts which sometimes would be frustrating. The movement of Lara in these games feels so good to play! Onto Underworld!
