Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered

“These remasters maintain all the extra features from the previous collection – the visual imnprovements, 60fps + mode, photo mode and other tweaks – and ultimately are the best way to play these games, it's just the quality of games on offer here aren't quite as consistently good as the first collection.”

“For anyone with reverence for these games, this is a solid collection. For anyone curious about the franchise, but the first collection and avoid this one.”

“Whilst these remakes bring the second Tomb Raider trilogy to modern systems, but they simply can't match up to the original trilogy – Chronicles and Angel of Darkness in particular were let downs when they released originally. I can't see this remaster gaining these games any new fans, especially since they control like some kind of device that exists to torture game developers that specialise in traversal mechanics.”

“The second round of Tomb Raider remasters does a great job in translating the original games to modern hardware.”

“Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered will appeal to hardcore fans, but it won’t grab anyone new.”

“Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered excavates the back half of Lara Croft's first era, but how do they hold up today?”

“Tomb 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.”

“Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is an odd release in that only one of its three games can be considered a genuine classic. Yet despite this, it's still a collection we'd tentatively recommend checking out if only to appreciate how such an iconic video game series was almost completely derailed. The remastered visual upgrades – particularly in the fourth and fifth entries – don't always work, but the addition of 60fps performance alongside the retro aesthetics is very welcome indeed. If you're a fan of Tomb Raider or enjoy revisiting flawed curios from days gone by, this might be worth looking into, but this isn't essential like Aspyr's previous Tomb Raider collection.”

“Tomb 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.”

“With another generous set of remasters, we finally have the complete inaugural generation of a Playstation icon. The ports aren't perfect, but a generous selection of modern options balance out the imperfections of Tomb Raider: Last Revelation and its sequel Chronicles. Having The Angel Of Darkness in a good enough state to revisit might be worth the price alone.”

“Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is the classic Aspyr remaster: respectful in terms of visuals (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 most brilliant Lara Croft games, but they are a treasure that deserves to be “plundered”.”

“Aspyr's renovation project tackles the three lesser Crofts, with intriguing results.”

“Tomb 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.”

“Our first order of business, with regard to Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered, is to note that no such games existed. Those contained in this collection...”

“Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is just about everything fans could have wanted. All the great quality of life features from I-III return here in addition to new restored content for Tomb Raider VI. While this remaster doesn't completely fix the problems with the black sheep of the series, Tomb Raider VI, it does make the experience much better. Like the first collection, IV-VI Remastered is a huge value for what you get and is a must-buy for fans of the series or classic games.”
