Queria ter zerado de fato, mas acho que o 1º Tomb Raider não é para mim. Meu maior problema foi o imenso dano de queda; ele acaba sendo um jogo de plataforma mais realista do que outros da época.
Nos 7 níveis que joguei, tive muita frustação pelos controles estranhos; os pulos são calculados por blocos, o que demorei para entender como realmente funcionavam. Foram incontáveis mortes.
Por outro lado, é interessante a sensação de exploração. Nadar nesse jogo é estranhamente satisfatório...
A música tema e o som dos secrets são memoráveis. E é bem divertido fazer piruetas enquanto se atira nos inimigos homens.

thrilling and satisfying more often than frustrating and clunky. the tank controls don't take long to get used to, especially once you realize this is a slow, methodical puzzle game and not a fast-paced actioner. love the eerie atmosphere, really excited to make my way thru the rest of the series
puzzles bons, por algum motivo nunca consegui zerar
slowly realizing that this game is actually just 3d prince of persia was VERY cool.
shoutouts to the remastered team for picking up on this, calling the doppelganger fight achievement "be like prince" was a nice touch.
wish all the versions kept the save crystals from the psx version, i think the game would've been more engaging that way, as opposed to being able to save whenever you want.
some levels are a bit off, the hitscan and later enemy design isn't very good, but it's still a good experience.

Played remaster version, pistols only
Pretty solid game, good platforming, good puzzles that are never too tough but satisfying, combat is OK, except in the last third which introduces really obnoxious enemies
Some secrets were a little random or cheap, sort of enforcing a guide if you want them all

Played the 2024 remastered version
I think I enjoyed this game more as a spectacle. These remastered versions did not get the attention they deserved as they did something that not many remasters do: kept as true to the source material as possible. They did this to the point that there is literally a button on the controller that instantly switches between the old and new graphics, something very fun to do every so often.
In terms of the game itself, it has it's strengths and weaknesses. What Tomb Raider set out to do in 1996 was phenomenal, an Indiana jones style 3D video game, and they achieved that. However the combat is terrible, and unfortunately common, some of the puzzles just require to look around for ages, and the camera can be really, really bad at times.
However what's left is a cinematic puzzle platformer that takes you through some cool environments with some satisfying moments. The lack of music in tomb raider could be looked at as a negative, but actually I think using the music in the moments it does gives you a sense of achievement, which is powerful in itself.
I definitely think retro game enthusiasts should give this a try if they haven't touched the original Lara Croft games due to age, especially since the saving system has been buffed to the max, allowing to to save + load wherever, whenever
