Worth It?

[thatoks]

I have played all three of these TR games back in the day,
For anyone who has bought the TR 1,2,3 collection is it worth the buy?

What are the pros and cons?

[FhqwhTODD]

Absolutely worth it:

Pros: It's the old games but they look stunning.
Cons: New controls are trash, but the old ones still work flawlessly
Cons: a few bugs here & there nothing gamebreaking for me so far

Yes worth it, I mean you get all 3 games + DLCs and if you never played them it is way more than 55 hours of total play time if you dont look into guides or YT videos.
The only annoying and negative thing is the camera for modern control systems, but you can get used to it after some time.

you say worth it? who will want to play with the stupid and soulless plastic doll of the first 3 games after the new trilogy with a human and credible lara? no thanks, you can keep the old tr ones...

[shonasof]

Absolutely! The gameplay is the same as you remember and you get widescreen support right out of the box.
The only real change that still messes with my muscle memory is that they changed how sidestepping works to the TR3 controls across all three games. But you get the mid-air roll in TR1 now to make up for it.

game is trash save your money.

It is worth it, i am playing mostly the Expansion Packs, as i replayed the first two before they announced the Remaster.

The Pros are clearly the very well handled new Graphics and the Games themself run very good.

Cons are the lack of Graphical Options Menu, Frame Pacing in the original Graphic Mode and that some Keys are hard to see.
But nothing Gamebreaking, it is very much Fun!

Who wants to play a soul-less linear loop shooter full of QTEs?
I want a Tomb Raider game, would pay 3x the price for this one but I would not pay 1/3 of the remaster price for TR 2013, that thing is not a Tomb Raider game and only one of the trilogy "really worth" some money is Shadow.

[KrZ]

Not worth it in its current state and asking price.

[shadowgravy]

Yes, it is worth it.

I completed the Tomb Raider 1 remastered version last night. Honestly, if I never play anything else in this collection, I'll still feel that I've gotten my money's worth. If you love the original games, this collection is a fantastic overhaul that stays faithful to the original level design and characters. Having controller support added to the PC version as a default plug-and-play option made this a joy to experience with my Logitech F310 gamepad.

I've played the original Tomb Raider (1996) on multiple platforms including Sega Saturn, Playstation, PC CD-ROM, and Steam. I've modded the Steam version with enhanced HD textures and QoL mods. This collection is the best looking and best playing version I've experienced, even with its few minor glitches like the paintings in some underwater areas. (I did not experience any bugs with sound or gates not opening.)

I also did not experience any of the sounds or gates not opening but I had a smile once I glitched myself through "in-between corner of block and wall" meaning the good and old "skip glitches" work the same here.

I'd say it's alone worth it to be able to play all add ons. But beside from that for 30 Dollars you can't do much wrong. TR1 is still an excellent game and the graphical and fps upgrade is really nice.

[Feorun]

As I played only TR1 some 26 years ago and never experienced TR2,3 before, its a steal!

New Lara is not Lara, but the Model you use in certain SFM Videos. Reboot franchise is neither classic nor worth playing. I think i can say that without even playing the 2 sequels. I will play them someday BUT i will say the same. It is a different game franchise.
