Tomb Raider IV V VI Remastered

I’ve been on a classics kick for the past couple of months. This is largely in part due to games like Dino Crisis coming back, and Nightdive’s excellent remastering of the flawed, but charming adaptation of John Carpenter’s The Thing. So it feels appropriate that Aspyr are continuing their own trend of excellent remasters with probably one of their most exciting projects, the Tomb Raider Collection: IV to VI Remastered Collection, which includes: The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and the...

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered updates classic adventures to modern standards with improved visuals and gameplay, providing nostalgia for devotees and good action for newbies. While some issues remain from the original, it’s an excellent remaster.

All in all, I don’t blame the developers for AOD’s shortcomings. This one was just too broken to ever fix. I find the other two remasters more than enough to justify the trilogy’s asking price if you are a fan. If you aren’t, then you’re better off getting into the series via the first trilogy, or by giving the 2013 reboot a shot.

The quality of the games in Tomb Raider IV - VI is nothing short of a mixed bag, but the remastering job is top notch. Fans won't probably need convincing to plump down the cash for this latest bundle, and The Last Revelation was always one of Lara's best outings. Despite their flaws, Chronicles and Angel of Darkness are worth dipping into, and the latter is in its best shape to date, warts and all.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is just about everything fans could have wanted. All the great quality of life features from I-III return here in addition to new restored content for Tomb Raider VI. While this remaster doesn't completely fix the problems with the black sheep of the series, Tomb Raider VI, it does make the experience much better. Like the first collection, IV-VI Remastered is a huge value for what you get and is a must-buy for fans of the series or classic games.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is a history trip to a dark, odd time in Lara's history, covered in the same thin base coat of modern paint.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered delivers a welcome visual overhaul to The Last Revelation, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness with excellent character models, detailed textures and revamped lighting working together to wonderful effect. The modern control schemes across the collection are frustratingly cumbersome but some great quality-of-life improvements and the excellent photo mode features make this remaster a must for longtime fans.

No, she wasn’t created with the best intentions. No, today’s character design by committee would never give her the green light these days. But there’s still plenty of room for Lara — cheeky, uncompromising, even distasteful — to play for sport. For now, I’ll stick with cleaning Croft Manor in PowerWash Simulator.

The three worst Tomb Raider games, remastered for a modern audience but unable to overcome their archaic systems, dull action, and uninspired design.

A modern control scheme and HD textures clash awkwardly with the boxy old levels of Lara's past, in three of her least interesting adventures.
