My first impressions of the Tomb Raider 4-6 Remasters are an overall positive but with some complaints.

Last Revelation (4) is the shining star here, there was the most effort put into making it look great. However, they could have refined the rope swinging mechanic. It just takes a lot of patience and I recommend Stella's guide to rope swing properly. There's a few new animations, like dropping off a ledge or sliding down a slope. The color changes to some puzzles and interaction icons are most welcome. However, some areas of 4 are way too dark in updated graphics, but I guess that's why we have glow sticks.

Chronicles (5) was a mediocre game even before it was remastered. Even with the graphical overhaul, you can tell the original devs were serious when they said years later that they didn't even want to make it. Lots of uninspired areas and weird design choices that come from being rushed and an unenthusiastic original development team. There is... Some fun and intrigue to be gleamed from 5, but it just doesn't scratch my itch. At least Saber patched the glitch that happens in the last section of the game.

Angel Of Darkness (6) is satisfactory. Switch to modern controls for it though and swap the layout to what you'd prefer. The game doesn't tell you this (or I wasn't listening), but if you want to grab a ledge when you jump, you have to press SECONDARY action and not the primary. The graphical upgrade isn't as as impressive as I thought it would be, but the added clarity is good. Some of the character models are unchanged, but most of them are. Lara talks more to herself and gives you hints more than the original game. New additions like dual pistols, stealth mode, and restored cut content are welcome. AoD is actually playable and enjoyable now. There is still a little jank, but it is a decent experience.

They got rid of all the bugs in AoD?

I hadn't encountered any bugs in AoD, but even with better controls you have to be careful not to over jump or hit something you don't intend.

I did encounter two bugs in 4, but those aren't exactly fixable due to the engine. I got soft locked in a crawlspace when a skeleton hit me and another on a cornered slope in water.
 
Why am I posting this here?

Because in the middle of his review (and this guy is a bit autist for Indiana Jones), the guy starts going into this comparison between that series and the 2 Jolie Tomb Raider movies.
(watch at least to the 35 min mark)

Funnily enough he compares TR2 to Indy1 and TR1 to Indy5.

And yes I find it... sadly hilarious that "Dial of Destiny" apparently ripped off the first Tomb Raider movie.

The TR store is oddly active and very fashion-based. I'm such a fucking simp for that turqoise/brown palette of OG Lara.

This model looks underage and/or like all those aussie actors they barred from porn cause they looked underage.

And now even real companies are selling Switch handles? Nuts how that console is only made playable by third parties.

It's strange to me Tomb Raider has such staying power where you still see old style cosplays all the time

The themes about powerful groups looking for ancient artifacts reminds me of the Clinton email leaks. Perhaps they are trying to tell us something

I imagine the game as something akin to the sawmill setpiece in Days Gone, only instead of a zombie horde it's a tidal wave of horny jeets chasing after Lara as she desperately tries to keep her distance and whittle the numbers down.
 
Face on the new Lara looks okay but is kind of round for someone who's supposed to look like a supermodel. Also B cups again, because big tits are toxic and troubling.

She is half-Indian now?

She was briefly named Laura Cruz so for the past several years Crystal Dynamics has been slowly turning her Latina. In the last game her mom looked like a Guatemalan pigmy.
