As a remake of the original TR1, Tomb Raider 1 is infinitely better, sorry if the truth hurts but it is what it is. If you want to play any Tomb Raider from the Xbox 360/PS2 era just get Tomb Raider Legend or Tomb Raider Underworld instead of this. But if you want to learn more about the story of TR1 you may want to get Tomb Raider 1 itself. As a matter of fact, with the release of the Tomb Raider Trilogy Remaster, the story and gameplay are much more enjoyable, but you do you.

My feelings regarding this game are very mixed: I love the Franchise which makes criticizing it very hard, but "Anniversary" is just in a pretty weird state.

The stuff thats definitively good about it are the graphics (they hold up very well, especially if you consider the games age) and the amosphere, wich is also incredible. Additionally, the Level Designs are great and some of them are just stunning.

However it feels like this game was never play tested - at least not for PC. A lot of the sections are just very clunky, the camera keeps focusing the wrong things and some stuff is just very buggy. You need a lot of patience for most sections towards the end of the game because your actions just dont register or the game just ignores your input (e.g. falling through Ledges you clearly should´ve grabbed),

Having to do the same segments over and over (eventhough you cant do anything about it because it´s the games fault) will be very frustraiting and annoying, so if you are somebody that gets tilted very easily you should probably not play this game.

Also, keep an online guide ready, you´re gonna need it because some of the puzzles are just so absurd and unintuitive that its almost ridicoulus and sometimes its incredible hard to get them on your own.

All in All: If you like the Franchise and action/adventure games give it a try but you should be tilt-resistant and bring lots of patience.

The controls are buggy like grabbing ledges and ladders, can't progress if you don't access triggers the way the game wants you to. OG controls were stiff but at least you were able to successfully grab on to ledges and ladders

A relic of distant times that will never return to gaming. As a re-imagination of TR1, the spirit of this game is based in making the player think . A skill that is demanded by games only in certain niches, but was the norm back in the 90s.

That being said, this is not the kind of game you relax with - unless of course you are very used to puzzles and similar cognitive challenges. Especially if you feel like your job/studying is mentally taxing enough.

While the game has some bugs, which I dont remember the CD version of the game being THAT buggy, none are game breaking.Just make sure to have your FPS limited at below 60, and force Vsync it.
I didn't experience any game-breaking bugs, just visually frustrating ones with the aforementioned settings.

IMHO most of the negative reviews are by people that this game was not made for . So I do recommend keeping that in mind whilst reading the other reviews.

Very fun. This game has that old school feel with a smooth easily playable engine (I'm using an XBOX controller.) Graphics hold up well and its less complex then the next-gen Tomb Raider (which is, by the way certainly also awesome.) Got this and a few others for pennies during the 25th Anniversary Sale. I'm set for Tomb Raider for a long time!!!

Alot of puzzle, with 2 bugs that I found and need to youtube to pass to next level
