Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Nintendo Switch Review – Is It Worth It?

This is how graphics should have been done for the MGS vol1 collection.

It can’t just be me right? It’s just so hard!
I’m happy playing hard games resident evil remakes on hard
Cod on veteran
Witcher on hard
Bloodborne
Dark souls
Crash 4 and the remaster etc

I would have been 10-11 when these games out. Honestly, I remember watching my friend playing TR1 after school on the PS1. I remember giving Tomb Raider 1 a shot on a Friday night after school myself. But got bored of it. Played TR3 demo a few years later in 99 and remember it really well. Fast forward to today and I have completed TR1 in 2022. I would say original Tomb raider was something best enjoyed as a matured gamer. Though remembering it way back in 1997 it was the water and music which I remember the most. Fact missed by many of us – you will as you get older remember things which are bright, vivid and musical over dull games.

It's not worth it if you can't save this game. 

Why am I having such a difficult time trying to save my game in Tomb Raider One for Nintendo Switch? I've spent hours trying to solve this mystery. I finished The Caves then Lara drowned in the next level. My only choice was to choose New Game or Unfinished Business. The save of The Caves then disappears from the compass. And why is it in the compass?

This is mind boggling and I've wasted many hours trying to figure this out and three calls to Nintendo Support. Deleted save data on my Switch and then the software, then downloaded again. Did that twice. Studied many walkthroughs on Youtube and the internet but to no avail.

Please help. Thank you so much!!

I wish we could play the game with save crystals as an option from the beginning, thats how I remember the game as a playstation player. It changes the game totally. In every way. The accomplishment, how I think, the happiness, the tension, everything. The tears, of course, frustration yes, but thats part of the game 😂

I'm sure it will get patched 🤞
Because this game is absolutely brilliant 10/10

Strange that they chose to remaster the original instead of bringing Tomb Raider Anniversary to Switch. Anniversary was such an awesome game. But I’d get this for TR2 and TR3.

Non, no quick saving. Part of the charm is the manual saving. If you can't be patient enough to see what you're selecting on the passport menu then that's on you. Be more attentive.

I think I'd more than welcome the manual save system even if it is the only way to save your progress on that note I feel like a map system should have been implemented though you can easily get lost in those levels

Nice to know they're remastering my childhood games I had the most fun with 1 on the PS1

Why didn't they let you revisit levels as you complete them??

I only tried these games briefly during their time, so I'm not sure if I'll enjoy them without much nostalgia for them. I love the Indiana Jones/Uncharted style, but I don't think I was too impressed with the TR gameplay even during the 90s.

Im so glad they redone the controlls ive always hated the tank controls even when playing on the ps1

Ah, the old ageing controls…that most people who have played it have reverted to the original 3d controls …because its not all like the other 99% of games with scripted jumping. 4:05

Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 is a classic. I am glad they kept it the way it is with just a touch of remastering.

I never thought that manually saving would be a problem for most people… but maybe that's because I play a lot of RPGs and saving manually is basically a core mechanic.

I never own a PlayStation 1 or 2. The PS3 was my first PS console. So I missed out on these games. I’ll pick this up when, if ever it is released physically.

Now bring the PS2 games and I'll be happy

Future patch updates wanted:
-The classic TR style should been in 60fps (the classic versions looks to blocky and upscaled)
-The game should had light and gamma settings included. The old style is looking way to bright,, and many of the dark areas (light) are too dark in the remastered style.
-The water & mud effects could have been better. (just have a look on «Openlara»)
-The blue original crystal save-boxes should have been a option in the menu settings for TR1.
-The control scheme for modern style is not yet perfect.
-Some of the the game characters looks to slick and pretty, (could had a more rougher villain look.)
-Still the best updated way to play the original TR1 is Xproger`s version of «Openlara» (better controls, updated 60fps framerate,watereffects, etc, etc,etc)

Love you guys thank you for keeping us up to date with new releases & game news ( would love updates about the amiibo release dates when they come up
