There’s something so magical about the old-school Tomb Raider games and I love that feeling of that I have explore all by my own as well as the platforming which felt later games from Tomb Raider Legend streamlined it where I missed that that platforming from A to B was a puzzle to execute.
I tried Tomb Raider 2013 but just felt underwhelm by it and dislike how it where it take/district the controls to make the game “cinematic”. Surprised I didn’t like as I thought cause I’m a Zoomer, I would like newer games much more compare to the older one.
Any 3D games like Core Design’s Tomb Raider that has heavily emphasis on Platforming would be nice to hear as I find it difficult to find game that is identical to Tomb Raider instead of Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. Both great games but completely different to Tomb Raider
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time felt very close, and was an excellent game. IIRC there was a remaster not long ago.
The Uncharted games are quite similar as well.
Think I got Sand of Time somewhere in my bedroom when I got that Ubisoft 25 Years bundle which will see if I can install it on Linux (or find somewhere else that where I don’t need that disc).
I know newer Tomb Raider (2013, Rise & Shadow) gets compared to Uncharted but might give that a try? Vaguely remember playing the remaster of 1st game on PS4 and liked the gunplay despite I am rubbish at it lol
The NEW Tomb Raider has a lot of imitators that are very good, notably the Horizon Zero Dawn games.
