Feb 14, 2025Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered features a faithfully remastered take on three classic Tomb Raider games, with improved controls, graphics, and quality-of-life features, all of which can be disabled, creating the perfect package for faithful fans wanting a modern update on a nostalgic title, or die-hard fans who want to experience the games as they originally were.

Feb 26, 2025There’s a certain amount of jank present in Tomb Raider IV V VI Remastered. Much of this stems from the games being over twenty years old at this point and is just inherently a part of many games from this era. They all run perfectly, including on the Steam Deck, which is how I spent most of my time with them. This remaster of the later entries into the series, like the previous game, serves as an excellent way to experience these old games.

Feb 18, 2025Beyond the challenge and gameplay depth, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered continues to shine in its atmosphere and world-building. The sound design and music create an immersive experience, heightening tension, especially when playing with headphones—footsteps echo through tombs, distant growls send chills down your spine, and enemies often catch me off guard, making me jump in my seat more than once. Each level is expertly crafted, filled with hidden secrets and environmental storytelling that make exploration feel rewarding.

Feb 14, 2025This collection successfully updates the visuals and controls of three classic Tomb Raider titles while preserving their original level design, adding features like quick saves and restored content for The Angel of Darkness. The Last Revelation and Chronicles remain highly enjoyable, but The Angel of Darkness, despite its improvements, still suffers from deep-rooted design issues.

Feb 14, 2025Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is an extremely valid title that continues the idea carried out by the previous collector: to recall memories and introduce the first Lara Croft games to very young people. Accessible just enough, the aesthetic modernization is well done and pleasant to look at, apart from some small problems with the lighting. The rest of the package is about taking measures with the type of games and their release period. For everyone, but even more so, for incurable romantics it is something to absolutely have.

Feb 14, 2025Aspyr's renovation project tackles the three lesser Crofts, with intriguing results.

Feb 14, 2025Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is the usual Aspyr remaster: visually respectful (although without major changes), with small adjustments that improve the experience and with incalculable value as an exercise in preservation. They may not be the best Lara Croft games, but they are a treasure that deserves to be “looted”.

Feb 23, 2025Two top-tier, nostalgic adventure games that will delight both old and new Tomb Raider fans…and a third game that won’t do any of that.

Feb 18, 2025Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is a collection that does justice to a complex era of the series. These are imperfect but fascinating games, which now shine more than ever thanks to the work of Aspyr.

Feb 18, 2025Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Feb 14, 2025Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered continues the high quality treatment that Aspyr have previously set with Tomb Raider I-III Remstered. Despite some heavy visual overhauls and some nice additional inclusions, the truth of the matter is that these games are just not as strong as the original trilogy. Still, regardless of how you feel, it's hard to deny that Aspyr have done good work here, and these are easily the easiest and most accessible way to play some games that many ardent fans would call underappreciated or misunderstood. Just don't come out expecting them to match the heights of the original trilogy.

Feb 14, 2025Probably the biggest benefit of playing Tomb Raider via these remasters is that they'll allow you to quicksave anywhere, and there's a way to map that quicksave to a multi-button shortcut. But from a purely aesthetic perspective, there is something needless and gestalt about it all. Lara Croft has not aged gracefully, which is fine - in the long run none of us will. But putting her through this TikTok filter and dismantling her tank treads has not made her knees any healthier, her stories more memorable, or her past any more playable. Only the most feverish crypt botherer should follow her into this ominously high-definition temple.
