Some of the changes int🐟roduced in Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered are proving problematic for players.

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered modernizes Lara Croft's earliest adventures, and developer Aspyr has gone far beyond just adding a fresh coat of paint. The collection includes all expansions for the first three games, as well as moderniz꧃ed controls, a fully rotatable camera, hundreds of trophies, a photo mode, and more. The modernized graphics, complete with new textures and lighting effects, are an absolute triumph, though fans have been more than a little puzzled by some of the changes to the gameplay.

, it does the opposite. The big issue is that actions such as back steps and backflips can only be performed when Lara's weapons are drawn - which now also requires a button to be held down rather than being toggled on and off - making navigating obstacles and crossing gaps a much trickier process.

"The modern controls are garbage," says Chose_UserName217. "Pretty disappointing. I thought they'd be good like in Anniversary." LichQueenBarbie, meanwhile, writes, "I tried the modern scheme and couldn't get over a lot of choices they made there... I implore newcomers to not be scared by the term 'tank controls' and ಞgive them a good go."

Players have also pointed out that when using modern controls, the camera has a habit of colliding wi🐠th surfaces and getting stuck in narrow spaces, so getting Lara from where she is to where she needs to be is even more difficult. In a , user Jepruio says, "It's incredibly hard to do any jumps when in a tight corner, as the camera just won't budge, which then causes all the directional movements while running to a ledge to suddenly switch mid-run leading to a jump in the wrong direct꧃ion."

Ano♑ther change giving players trouble, albeit only those familiar with the old games, is th🌠at the menus for load and saving have swapped places, leading many to accidentally reload their game when they meant to save their progress.

That being said, it's clear a lot of love has been put into these remasters and with the wonderous modern invention💫 that is the ꦛinternet Aspyr could potentially address these issues in a future update. 

Alongside the questionable changes, players have found a number of neat little features that Aspyr has added, including the ability to have Lara don her signature sungla𒆙sses while holding down the 'look' and 'walk' buttons while loading a save.

What's more, if you have the same buttons pressed while loading into Lara's home in the first game, you'll see an adorable painting of the T-Rex displayed in th🍌e main haꦰll.
