This remake of Lara's first adventure is an upgrade on all fronts over legend. Animations are more fluid and movement is faster and Lara's design has been refined and no longer drifts into uncanny valley as it happened sometimes on Legend. Staying true to the original game, Lara doesnt change her outfit throughout the whole game although you can unlock more outfits by gathering collectibles. Combat feels weighter and more interesting as you battle animals and dinosaurs instead of generic mercs as the previous installment. All the enviroments are jaw dropping with varying levels of verticality and offer a great amount of detail in its presentation without sacrificing readibility. Do yourself a favor and turn off fullscreen effects to get rid of the horrible bloom and blur that smears the screen. Each level within an act flows into the next without loading screens conveying this idea of a long journey foward. The pacing is excellent except for the beginning of act 3 were the mines bring everything to a halt with both mindless puzzles and dull enviroments, specially considering the quality of everything that came before and after. Gladly it only lasts for a few minutes of its total 12 hour runtime.
