About

This is an emulation of the classic PS2 action-adventure title, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, playable on PS4 and PS5 for the first time and enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a third-person action-adventure game that revisits Lara Croft’s original journey to recover the Scion artifact. It reimagines the 1996 title with updated environments, refined controls, and expanded narrative elements while maintaining the exploration, platforming, and combat of the original game.

    The PlayStation 2 version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary came out over the summer, and it’s pretty obvious that the game wasn’t developed for the 360 from the ground up. Sure, the textures are now hi-res and there are new lighting effects, but ultimately the game doesn’t look much better.

    Even with its technical shortcomings, annoying camera angles, and slightly underdeveloped storyline, the original Tomb Raider adventure remains fun in this new iteration. There’s still a solid feeling of accomplishment when you complete one of the expansive puzzle rooms, it’s just too bad that they never stop coming.

    Tomb Raider: Legend did a lot to make Lara Croft feel relevant again, and Tomb Raider: Anniversary is another step in the right direction. The acrobatic action is consistently exciting and challenging throughout. Yet despite being a remake, the experience feels new and fresh. This is the best Tomb Raider game in years, and for the first time in a long time, that actually means something.

    These issues aside, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is everything a remake should be. It brings a classic game world up to date, throws in simple but intuitive controls and doesn't rely on constant fire-fights to bring excitement. Tomb Raider was always more of a platformer than an action game, and this is exactly what the guys at Crystal Dynamics have delivered.

    Tomb Raider: Anniversary is definitely an experience. For most of us, it hearkens back to the days when the PlayStation was the console to have, and Tomb Raider was the best game ever. Playing the original Tomb Raider game through this new lens also reminded me that sometimes less is more. There's such a simple premise to the game, yet it has lasted ten years.

    Everything is good about this game except the graphics; the developers really didn’t put any effort into making this game look good at all. It looks like a straight port from the PS2 version. The $40 price point is appropriate for Anniversary, but ultimately I can’t recommend a purchase unless you’re a hardcore fan, or at least willing to look past the awful presentation.

    Tomb Raider: Anniversary

    Very good remake. What was good stayed and graphic was hugely improved. The game had two big problems for me, whoever made the automatic camera rotations and their effects on controlling directions should be severally punished. The second thing is the game has a bug where I was not able to jump from slopes most of the time unless I turned on V-sync. Otherwise I enjoyed this game a lot and the score could have been higher if the camera was at least half decent.
