Tomb Raider I-III Remastered's Challenge Mode update has fixed NOTHING from previous patches and even introduced new bugs. The audio (music/sounds) now stutters, while subtitles aren't timed correctly now. Jesus Christ, Aspyr. No one needed new outfits and challenge mode. We wanted bug fixes, brightness slider, 60FPS in classic mode and custom level support. Yet you did nothing of that and wasted money on AI and …

This was a great remaster. Improved graphics, no changes to the controls/level layout, all the TR content in one place... then everything changed when the latest patch nation attacked. You broke a perfectly functional game is what you did. Look at it, it's got AI. And new bugs fresh out of the oven. And none of the QOL improvements we would have welcomed.

🎀Playing the Tomb Raider remasters is completely different compared to the more recent reboots. In the original games, now remastered, the focus was entirely on exploration, solving puzzles and the sense of mystery that each tomb held. The game itself made players feel curious and think about how to move and what to discover. Everything's fascinating, music included. The reboots like Tomb Raider (2013), Rise of the …

As a huge fan of this originals, this was a beautifully executed nostalgia trip - they did it perfectly. Clearly a lot of love has gone into this, with many little details and upgrades I really appreciated, like being able to switch between old and new graphics was such a nice touch. It was like being 8 and playing this game with my dad again!

The perfect way any remaster should ever be done. Enhance it, fix it, but still keep the old charm.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Tomb Raider I–III Remastered received "generally favourable reviews" for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, while the Nintendo Switch and Windows versions received "mixed or average reviews", according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Critics praised the updated visuals, new gameplay features, and overall faithfulness to the original games. Christian Donlan of Eurogamer wrote that the games had undergone remodelling with updated textures, models, and objects while retaining the original geometry; the modern elements blend well, resembling the classic Tomb Raider aesthetic, with Lara Croft reminiscent of her appearance in the first Crystal Dynamics games, upgraded yet…

This was once a proud remaster in the hands of Saber Interactive, but the license holders at Aspyr decided to cheap out, hire a bunch of idiots called "Magic Media" to add content that no one wanted and those idiots magically introduced a bunch of bugs because play testing their code is, apparently, OUR job. If you're going to buy this use the Steam console command…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Uninstalled after the "challenge mode" patch. Where to begin? This went from an industry standard for what classic remasters should look like into an ugly slopfest full of new bugs & crashes. On paper the idea of a free patch with a new game mode and new unlockable outfits is LOVELY. If it'd been done by the same dev team that made the remasters everyone would've cheered, but nope. A near perfect product was handed off to a random unqualified dev team that littered the entire collection with…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They are making this game less and less cozy by the day with cheap new game mode additions, instead of adding more levels? "Ignore the new game modes then". Can't do because in the process of adding them they ARE BREAKING the game. Like coming from the Maria Doria levels and when starting Tibet Lara still has the wetsuit. It's an immersion killer. It's been 2/3 months and still no fixes. HelloGames would have solved something like this few hours after releasing the patch that broke the game.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AI Sloppa Remaster now since Aspyr didn't continue a contract with Saber Interactive who did A LOT of Tender Loving Care to the series with these remasters, only for a change in developers to vibe-code slop and replace CLASSIC OUTFITS (Nevada Lara, South Pacific Lara, TR2 Bathrobe Lara, etc. etc.) and choosing to use Lara's Sunglasses (round glasses) with new "challenge mode" outfits. The challenge mode outfits give benefits the classic outfits don't give, which would be fine... IF THEY DIDN'T…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics, you should be ashamed of what Patch 5 has done to this game. How is it possible that, on the 30th anniversary of the franchise, this is the level of care given to the games that started it all? The game is now completely broken, and for what? To add a Challenge Mode that nobody asked for? With outfits that look cheap and out of place? What people actually asked for were basic, reasonable improvements: retro FPS controls, improved modern controls, proper brightness…

The game was great prior to the challenge mode update, but this latest patch introduced a number of bugs, including save games getting deleted, broken subtitles, and music tracks that play when they aren't supposed to. And the new costumes are appallingly low-quality with blurry textures full of AI generated slop. It's a disgrace and this patch destroys the hard work done by the original, competent developers. Fix the issues or allow us to roll back the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So the remaster was amazing. The new graphics were well done and respectful of the original art. The games all played great. Unfortunately they threw it all away with the anniversary update aka patch 9. They cheaped out on the developers switching from Saber to some bunch of amateurs with chatgpt. They added at least 48 new bugs, some game breaking, and some horrible AI art. No one should support this with their money anymore.

neutral · AI labelView post →Negative review is *only* because the challenge mode updates bugged the game horribly and for not introducing long wanted features (like porting all the improvements from 4&5 Remastered to 1-3). The Challenge Mode itself is pointless because NG+ was already a much better implemented challenge than these 1-hit death levels. All the achievements can be done over 4 different stages and earning the costumes is not fun at all imo. Said costumes are all ugly and lack the polish that Lara's other…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It pains me to write this review, because this remastered collection got to a really great point after a rocky start, but Aspyr removed the original development team and hired a cheaper outfit to add unnecessary additions which are breaking the game more and more with each patch. As a massive fan of the original classics (which I still played yearly), I bought this on day one as I was excited to experience games I knew well with a fresh look and a different (modern) control scheme. This is how…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →These games were near perfection up until 2 weeks ago. This latest update completely ruined these games. Instead of them hiring play testers, they want US to test and report bugs. Plus, they used AI for some of the Artwork. Absolutely disgusted by Aspyr. Don't buy these.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks like even the already released games are not safe from AI enslopification. I swear to God, I will never buy anything from Aspyr again if they don’t fix this mess. Remove or replace the AI slop, and fix the bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Welcome to the digital age, where even if a game releases in a perfectly good state, you can still count on developer incompetence to ruin it two years later with a glitch-filled, AI slop update nobody asked for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 16 months of waiting since patch 4, Aspyr finally graces us patch 5, and oh boy am I disappointed after all that waiting. What I thought would be the final patch that would port over all of the features and bug fixes from IV-VI Remastered turned out to just be a dreadful mess of new bugs and low quality AI outfits. The challenge mode is admittedly pretty cool and I welcome the addition, but not at the expense of the quality of the rest of the game or instead of vital and desperately…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PLAY IT IN TANK MODE. The ‘modern’ mode sometimes doesn’t work. Don’t try to fight it. Just accept it and imagine that you are in 1996/98. There’s no ‘yellow paint’. Just you in a temple crowded with wolves or on a boat full of henchmen. It’s ok to play along with a walkthrough, no shame. It’s amazing the feeling when you discover what you should do to go forward in the levels, the paths are insane! We don’t have this logic anymore nowadays. Great experience. A ‘must play’ game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hate to join a review bombing, especially when I haven't played this much but Aspyr breaking this remaster with GenAI slop in the latest update is a new low.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why would you do this? Why would you even bother updating the game if the update is not going to address ANY of the feedback the player base has been giving you? Fans and players have been asking for fixes and QOL features from 4-5 remastered to be ported back to this trilogy for the better part of a year. Why would you ignore ALL of that just to fart out an update that gives us nothing that we wanted and everything that we didn't want. A challenge mode that no one asked for and a bunch of ugly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: This game was provided to me for a PCGamingWiki assignment. Originally, this was an good, if clunky in interface, remaster of the first three Tomb Raider games, with phenominal modern controls making the games much less difficult to control. Now? A 'Web 3.0' company has been permitted to make an update which has utterly ruined the game. Challenge mode is utterly broken, while the main games themselves being only slightly worse off. The costumes, furthermore, feature texturing which…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad remaster, but the patch ruins everything. Lara’s outfits now don’t work, it’s a mess. Kills the story. Avoid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AIspyr ruining a game that only needed some touch-ups and fixes. We'd have absolutely welcomed costumes that were designed by actual humans, and didn't cause environmental damage to create. Rehire Saber and stop being cheap and lazy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your new "update" not only gave us low quality AI looking outfits, but broke the game with many textures, audio, subtitles and even traps. Seriously, revert to patch 4 or fix this update with the original dev team from Saber. And give us IV-V photo mode, outfits, graphics, and settings. Before this "patch", it would have been recommended from me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Patches keep introducing bugs and devs ignore fans While the latest patch did fix a few things, it (again) also introduced some new bugs, that weren't in the game. Aspyr also keeps ignoring fan feedback, not removing the AI generated textures & achievement icons, lying and telling us that they haven't used any AI with the Challenge Mode update. This game has fallen from its grace, it doesn't deserve the praises anymore, I don't recommend it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to be a decent way to play the original trilogy until they released the "Challenge Update" riddled with AI slop from promotional images to in game textures and introduced a tonne of new bugs. A shame.

There is no way to jump backwards, which you need at various points throughout the game. That is a kick in the face to dedicated fans who have waited years to see these remastered. Edit: there is a way to grab ledges that I saw others were struggling with. Holding the secondary action button (RT for example) makes her grab when running off a ledge. It helps make the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a real pain to leave this kind of review for one of my favourite brands of all time, but what Aspyr is doing with the franchise is simply unacceptable. First the AI voice lines controversy for TR6, now this update that broke an almost perfect remaster just to introduce AI slop outfits. Above of that, the 1-3 remaster still doesn't have an uncapped frame rate in original graphics mode, like the 4-6 remasters. I hope that Aspyr will fix the game asap and give to this franchise and its fans…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recent AI Update broke the game hence the mixed reviews! Personally I'm more pissed that they keep breaking third party mods but relying on AI content for this update is just an insult to the fans, franchise, original developers, and the Intellectual Property. Aspyr has NEVER been a reliable developer/publisher.

I'd be praising the game for how it was basically the best remaster anyone could buy on the market at the time! or that the new 3d texture work for the levels made the originally polygonal world…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update: As of the second patch that half-heartedly tries to fix some of the many bugs introduced with Challange Mode (pardon, 'Challenge Mode', they finally fixed the spelling), the game is still plenty broken. Stay on Patch 4. It's truly sad to see what Aspyr allowed such a stellar remaster to turn into. Good indicator for the future quality of their products. Patch 5 (Challenge Mode) spits in the face of what used to be an excellent remaster, and the devs that created it, Saber, who were not…

The unique charm this game lacks completely, instead going for the average Unreal Engine look, losing all the appeal and artistic vision from the original games. This is further worsened by the fact you are greeted with a "warning" the first time you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game in this current state is an absolute spit in the face, to both fans and the original devs for the game. Literally nobody asked for AI generated GARBAGE for outfits, that Lara herself would not be caught dead in and is an insult to Konrad's original vision. The fact that they released this, with minimal-to non-existent quality control, breaking the game completely and on Tomb Raider's 30th birthday, no less. Aspyr should never touch a game again, especially one as beloved as this. To…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a very good and faithful remaster of the original trilogy until the latest patch, which has added a bunch of AI slop costumes, new bugs + glitches and completely disregarded the requests of players for features that were actually wanted (like 60fps classic graphics). Would not recommend purchasing this game unless the patch is reverted.

I will not be giving this first trilogy of remasters a positive review until they fix the outfit swapping bug. It's unacceptable, and I'm assuming it would be so easy to correct. It's a shame that the most accessible way to play these games may have new players in the wrong outfits for a first playthrough.)

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was such a good remaster of the OG Tomb Raider games, to be able to play both the games and the DLCs with updated graphics easily on modern equipment. Was patiently awaiting patches like being able to control the brightness like in IV-VI, as well as hoping for a level editor. Instead we got an update that ruined the game, a slap in the face to all fans of this franchise. I don't mind the idea of a challenge mode, but the way this was handled and the result we got feels like a big joke.
