Are there any really big issues with the game?
I played this back on the PS3 and I dont remember there being any problems. I have been replaying Final Fantasy 13-2 on pc and although I enjoy the game. I have run into technical issues with the saving. Sometimes when I load into a new area it would save and it would cut to desktop. Making the experience irritating at times. Especially after I clear a hard boss and I have to redo it all over again.

I saw this game was on sale with the new publisher weekend sale. Only 97 cents. I would love to replay the old Lara Croft that I grew up with the somersaults and back flips and dual wielding dame I miss playing. The new Tomb Raiders are good but not the same.

Any major issues? I dont mean falling off the map in a blue moon but something that would stop me from wanting to playing all together?

I had no problems on my playthrough... but that was on Win7. Win10 may be different.

Keep in mind that this "sort of" continues Legend.

I played all the old games on PS2 and PS3. I might get all 3. Anniversary, Legend and Underworld. I do have Win10 but not sure if that would be a problem. I think if there was an issue, they would state otherwise on the store page.

But thanks. I dont mind the occassional hiccup or glitch. But something that breaks the game.

I always keep mixing things up a bit, but there are two problems that keep creeping up.

First -- at least some of the trilogy games have a "Next gen" graphics setting, which is... bugged. Don't use it.

Second -- Windows has a system that prevents "data" from being executed as "code" (called "Data Execution Prevention", IIRC). This breaks some old programs that used to put small segments of code into the data segment to be able to manipulate it on the fly. I seem to remember that at least one of the trilogy games required me to disable DEP for the game (I tend to fix these things "per game", not by disabling this stuff system-wide).

It has some annoyances, like funny physics stuff happening above a certain framerate, random framedrops to really low digits...

I had no issues completing the game though last time I played.
