What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 191 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (5,404 of 6,171 positive).
Many note that the Next Gen Visuals setting causes crashes and should be turned off. [1][2][3] Some reviewers mention bugs and glitches, particularly in platforming and boss fights. [4][5][6]

When it works, it's awesome. Unfortunately, The Next Gen Content setting (which enhances visuals) is broken and crashes my game at a certain level. This is a common issue that many players have and still hasn't been fixed.

Very fun game. PEAK Tomb Raider experience. Full of action and fun, good parkour/puzzles and Lara just looks amazing.

Absolute classic, best TR game in my book. Captures her unhuman athleticism, the gun-fu play, her arsenal of gadgets and support network, her intelligence and creativity, the mystic of discovering ancient puzzles that happen to be working and reset for just her moment in time. It's got those classic Hollywood adventure moments in the interactive cutscenes, the clothing gets wet and dries (this was 2006 so impressive …

THE best tomb raider game of all time!! The story was immaculate, there's decently easy puzzles but also alot of action and fun missions! Lara in this game is just so cool and the ending was actually kind of sad but its honestly a 10/10 i love it so much. would defo recommend!!!

Do NOT use next generation graphics, It will crash, It will eat your fps and it does NOT look better, It just flattens the textures and changes the lighting a bit. Otherwise very enjoyable game, cool story, full of action, great music and very 2000s humor.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Tomb Raider: Legend met with positive reviews. Multiple websites called Legend a return to form for the Tomb Raider series following a string of below-average sequels after the original game. Comments focused on its modern redesign. Edge praised the game's art direction and distinct environments, saying it delivers "more drama than ... many games twice Legend's size". The magazine also highlighted Lara's reliable controls and acrobatic movements, comparing them favourably to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003), but criticized the superficial combat system. Overall, the magazine concluded that Legend "established a rock solid foundation for inevitable, now justified successors".…

60 of 514 · 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.

One of those games where they thought carefully about what they could realistically achieve on a GBC - and then did an excellent job of doing so. Tomb Raider on Game Boy Colour shifts the action to 2D, but still captures the Tomb Raider spirit superbly.
