"The 2024 remastering of Lara's original '90s adventures managed to somehow make the games' control schemes even worse than they already were, while just slapping crude new textures over the top of the originals instead of actually remastering the game itself. It has received plenty of updates since, but still not the better upgrades applied to the second trilogy."
"The patch, released on March 12, added a new Challenge mode to the game, letting you adjust the minutiae of your health, damage, enemy numbers and so on, and completing certain challenges will reward you with the new outfits included in the update, which themselves bestow passive bonuses when used."
"From shades that look like they're fire-damaged to hilariously wiggly lines on clothing, it all looks incredibly slapdash and unfinished. Redditors are also suggesting that genAI could have been involved in the clothing's creation, given the sloppy look of symbols and designs."
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered received criticism for worsening controls and applying crude textures rather than genuine remastering. A March 12 update introduced Challenge mode allowing customizable difficulty settings and new outfits as rewards with passive bonuses. However, the new costumes display extremely poor quality, featuring fire-damaged shades and distorted clothing designs that appear slapdash and unfinished. Players suspect generative AI involvement due to sloppy symbols and designs. The update still lacks quality-of-life improvements that the second trilogy remaster received. The outfit quality is so poor that original remastering developers have publicly disowned them, sparking significant player backlash on Reddit and YouTube.
