Is there a reason to play the first game?

[Mållgan]

I have played the original game and the remake Anniversary. Is there a reason to replay the the first game (besides unfinished business)? Have they done anything different?

It's now possible to do an air roll, which was originally introduced in TR2.
Also the mechanics (jumping) where improved.
There should be some bug fixes as well.

Even though you played the original games and the Remake I can suggest to play it 😉

Cheers!

Although the remastered version is built on the original Tomb Raider and it doesn't change the OG's story or level design, the remastered version feels almost as different from the OG version as Anniversary does. Also, there are the added Steam achievements, which gives the gameplay a new complexion.

By playing through TR1 you can unlock New Game +, which has all the enemies deal more damage and take more, you having all weapons from the start, all pickups being ammo, and Save crystals reintroduced (and being the only source of healing).

Achievements are also a nice way to play & replay with a bit more spice. Replayability in general is the reason why I went from disliking TR3 on first contact to borderline prefering it to TR2.

Not gonna lie, that sounds really boring.

Anyways, I'm just gonna beat the first game and unfinished business and then move on to the next one. Not gonna bother with all the other nonsense.

The graphics are good, there is no need for any mods for it to work properly (well, I could do without mods but with some workarounds using Steam Bigpicture, also the ratio was somewhat wrong too) and yes it is complete and have NG+ where you can play as intended on consoles back in the day (with functional Save Crystals not only collectibles).

I didn't even see how to skip the first game

At main menu press down, it will show TR2, press down again it shows TR3.
