Bugs Bugs and Tits...and bit of a Game

im only writing this for Players who don't want to fiddle with a Game in Order to be able to Play it and being able to Play it to the End without preparing for Bugs.
This Gama is NOT for you!
If you want a Game with nice Gamepad Controls. this Game is NOT for You.
If you want to play a game without Texture Flickering or more than 60fps, this Game is NOT for you.

To be able To Play this Game (in 2024) with "Next-Gen" options enabled you need to set the affinity for this game for max 2 CPUs (better not with SMT enabled..) and i think there are Situations where you have to set it to one Core.
you should save well lets say every 10 Minutes just to be...Save.
There is at least one "well documented" Bug that does not let you progress if you triggered it and if you dont have a Save which is like 10Minutes before that Situation, you either have to start that Level again or worse..(at least thats what 15min of "Research" tells me) Well its nice to see that the Manufacturer documents Stuff and basically tells you "We know exactly why and how it haooens, thats why we tell you what you have to avoid to trigger it. What fixing it, are you crazy? do you know how much Money an Apprentice can make while creating a senseless fetch Quest for our Ass Ass in Creed Game?"
Since im in my 40s and nearing my Gaming deathbed, my Time is way more worth than the Cost of that Game or the Nostalgia from Playing a Game like in the old days.
I mean ♥♥♥♥ writing this took probably long enough to be able to afford this even when working a minimum Wage Job.

Man Eidos/Crystal Dynamics Games were good back then, at least thats what i remember bug this one showed me either my Memory is ♥♥♥♥ or im getting old.

Only buy this if you're a horny Teenager who wants to execute unsafe stuff to be able to watch a 15+ year old Model in Bikini or wanna see half an old lazy Story (unless you save at the right times then maybe you can see more)

i*m too old for this ♥♥♥♥.

Not recommended unless Steam users are willing to tolerate a few technical flaws:

Technical Issues:

Bugs:

The game has a known issue where it crashes upon startup.

During cutscenes, game character positioning often contradicts their last known location during gameplay. This issue occasionally impacts other game characters as well.

Artefacts:

In certain areas, visual artefacts disrupt the game's graphics, breaking the immersion and overall visual consistency.

Mechanics:

While the gameplay mechanics function adequately, they lack the refinement seen in later Tomb Raider titles. These issues, particularly related to game "vehicle" handling, have been either partially or fully addressed in more recent entries in the series.

Overall Impression:

For its time, Tomb Raider: Legend was considered a decent to good game. However, by 2024, its flaws are far more noticeable and can detract from the gaming experience.

Final Thoughts:

Fans of the Tomb Raider franchise will likely be more forgiving of the game's technical shortcomings and may still appreciate its nostalgic value.

In general, it is recommended that Steam users consider playing later Tomb Raider games that offer more polished mechanics and visuals, in line with modern expectations and gaming trends.

I just really like Tomb Raider
