If you told me these gems were going to get remastered I wouldve laughed at your face and told you to consider comedism but nope they are real and stunning like the day I met them

Remastered Stuff
The collection offers all 3 games a gianormous facelift and makes everything shine and keep the aesthatic the original games were going for with a lot of improvments, movement is now global across titles allowing all of the QoL changes each title introduced to be intrgrated into the game, the game is now 60 fps which give the tank controls better reaction time and speaking of controls there is now option to play the game on modern controls and they feel pretty damn good, I beat all 3 titles with them and honestly prefer them at certain points so huge props to devs for making them work

There is also NG+ for all these games -minus the expansions- but I find them more artifical than fun, just give the players option to use save crystals without all the extra ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that borderline ruins these games, I personally hate save crystals but I know a good deal of people would like to play with them but unless you are planning to %100 these games, NG+ is just a artifical chore

Tomb Raider
The game everything began and frankly the simpliest and easiest one to beat for the very reason, don't get yourself fooled couse Tomb Raider can still be a harsh game but out of all 3 this one has the most natural diffuculty curve and with remasters also including expansions packs you can test what you learned in Unfinished Business, overall a balanced title with a tiny pacing issue in Greece

Tomb Raider 2
One of my all time favorites, the game is just as beatiful and fun to play as I remember but compare to the first game this is more of an action flick, there is lot more focus on human enemies and modern tombs, while Maria Doria absouletly OBLITIRITES the pacing once you get past it its improvment after improvment even at times they feel quite rushed

Tomb Raider 3
I don't think I ever died this much in my virgin runs of soulslike games, this is easily one of the most brutal games I ever played, sometimes for good sometimes for horrible reasons unlike previous games that gently ups the challange, the SECOND you enter your first big area the game opens up to well EVERYWHERE, you can go to wrong way...die, finally find the right place to go then die again. It's an incredibly ambitious title that feels fullfilling when its done right but feels horrendous when done poorly, its a mixed bag with many great ideas and while fun its easily the weakest out of the 3 here
Also pick Nevada first...pick the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Nevada first

Overall this is a collection that is absoluetly worth its price, games are fun and remastered beatfiully with many QoL upgrades and a brand new control scheme If you are long time Tomb Raider fan or you are looking for a decent action adventure title this is a bang for your buck
