In the top three of the series. Only nostalgia puts 2 and 4 above this one. Having a blast!

Overall great game. Can be challenging at times, but well worth it.

New maps to explore, new enemies, new bosses (some old) - Worth it. It just make the Elden Ring experience complete.

[Update] I switched this to recommended since they've made a couple of updates. A few improvements on the camera angle and also some updates to the modern controls. Enough that the game is enjoyable with the modern controls settings. It is not perfect as I still can't backstep and grab a ledge, but that is ok.

I want this to be a thumb's up as there is a lot of good nostalgia in the game.

Let's start with the good.
The updated graphics/models are pretty good for a 25 year old game. The original Lara is the real Lara with twin pistols and side/back flips. It brings back a heap of nostalgia from exploring and solving puzzles.

I've replayed and completed the original steam version again in 2014, but there is now something about the controls that is just simply outdated. Since 2014 I've been playing a lot of FromSoft titles and the controls of this game is just poorly done. I was excited to find the modern controls, but there are issues. During combat, you can't lock on a target, and you don't face one directions either when holding your guns. Then you end up running in circles just to get line of sight of the target. There is no way to backstep off an edge and grab it. Lastly the camera gets confused in smaller spaces such as narrow passages with angles in. When the camera gets off, you can "reset" the camera by entering look mode and back out again, but if you don't do that, then pressing forward does not move the character forward or even in the direction of your camera.

These might be small issues, but it affects the gameplay so heavily, I got this to play on the steam deck and prefer to use a comtroller instead a keyboard and mouse, but the controller is not fun to play with in this current configuration.

Replaying the RE series and this one is the best one so far. Has unique item/gear system with merchants throughout the game and the combat is engaging with new mechanics added. The story is great. Fully enjoyed it.

What a nostalgic journey. If they do a total remake of this game, I will buy it again. Or Shadowman 2. For now I enjoy the remastered version of the original.

Enjoyed the overall story. It is not extremely long, but yet to try it on Hard. It is worth it when it is on special.

Good remake of the original. Will recommend.

It won't be for everyone, but I enjoyed the story and puzzles. Worth 33 hours of casual gaming on the Steam Deck.

Not for everyone, but I really enjoyed the layback exploration and puzzles in this game. Takes me back. I had fun with it.
