This has got to be the buggiest and the most unoptimized PC port I have ever experienced in my video gaming history. If your game has numerous forum threads on alternative ways to beat a section, display setting manipulation and universal complaints from users facing identical issues, it's not good. I can forgive Lara's hair glitching out to the point where it extends to her grappling hook's length or some choppy …

In my mind this is the best Tomb Raider game. (though I haven't tried the more recent remake) The first series of six games is too clunky to play these days. The later games switched format to care more about scripted sequences and a little bit of open world gameplay, and are less about tight linear level design. This game has possibly the best exploration puzzles I have seen in any game. They're much more grounded …

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is at times SOOOOO fun, and at other times SOOOOO frustrating. I feel conflicted because the gameplay is amazing, all the acrobatics and puzzles. It's honestly really fun... but when the highs are highs... the lows are low. There are moments in this game where things feel "unfair" rather than difficult, and that is the biggest issue I have. Things should feel challenging, not unfair. …

Its the original games with better gameplay and graphics

Critics, per Wikipedia
Anniversary received positive reviews following its initial release on PC and PS2, with many calling it a worthy remake of the original game. 1UP.com's Joe Rybicki called the game a homage in its own right. Eurogamer's Kristan Reed said that Anniversary merited a higher score than Legend due to its less linear structure and lower frequency of tutorials. GameSpy's Patrick Joynt praised the recreation and expansion of the original game's locations and gameplay, but faulted the camera control and some "unforgiving" puzzles. Ryan Davis of GameSpot greatly enjoyed Anniversary, calling it a further step in fixing the franchise following the success of Legend, though he faulted its unwillingness…

60 of 508 · most liked firstI bought the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy today and was so stoked, but was disappointed when I only saw the first game pop up. Contacted the seller, got automated responses. Was big mad. Y’all. The thing about Steam is the Library is in alphabetical order. 🙃 And I was just looking at the first game.
