I’ve been digging into something super cool lately and just had to share it with you all. It’s about the “Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered” physical copy, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey getting my hands on it!
So, first off, I scoured the internet for any news about this release. I remembered seeing something about it on a Nintendo Direct back on September 14, 2023. That’s where I got the confirmation that it was coming out for multiple platforms, not just Switch. I saw that it is also available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox One. I’m a PlayStation guy, so that’s the version I was after.
Then, the hunt for the pre-order began. I checked all the usual online stores. Luckily, I stumbled upon a deal where pre-orders got a ten percent discount on select platforms. Score! I immediately locked in my pre-order to secure that sweet deal.
I also found out there’s a Deluxe Edition. It comes with the physical game, obviously, but also includes an exclusive exploration map book with all the levels. I mean that thing is perfect for us collectors. I am a sucker for extra goodies, so you bet I grabbed that Deluxe Edition. It is totally worth the extra price!
The waiting game after pre-ordering was tough. Every day I was checking my email for that shipping notification. Finally, the day arrived! I got the email, and a few days later, the package was in my hands. Unboxing it felt like Christmas morning. Holding that physical copy, seeing the remastered graphics on the box, it was just amazing.
Playing the game took me right back. It’s the same classic Tomb Raider I grew up with, but everything looks so much sharper and more detailed. They really did an amazing job with this remaster. Playing the original three Tomb Raider Adventures again is so great! For the first time, I feel like I could experience the old games just like how they looked like when I was a kid!
I also noticed that there are some subtle changes in the gameplay. They’ve streamlined some things, making it a bit more modern, but without losing that classic Tomb Raider feel.
The map book in the Deluxe Edition is a fantastic addition. It’s not just a regular map, it’s packed with details and artwork. It really adds to the whole experience and makes you appreciate the work that went into these games.
