US Steam price, checked 6 h ago
A visually impressive, exploration- and puzzle-heavy Tomb Raider with a great Lara and big levels, but a rough PC port with a bad camera, janky controls and physics bugs. Skip it if you hate jank.
Great for
Tomb Raider fans and nostalgic players who enjoy exploration, platforming and puzzles and can tolerate jank
Main risk
Broken box physics, crashes or launch failures on modern PCs, plus a fighting camera and unreliable ledge grabs
