Aspyr Media·Released Feb 14, 2024·Single player
A remaster of the original Tomb Raider, including The Unfinished Business expansion as well as the ability to toggle between original and remastered graphics.
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is sadly not as Definitive as the title might imply. While Aspyr has done the work to make a title from 2013 run at a solid 60fps on a handheld, and with 1440p resolution, it seems the cost was graphical fidelity at almost every turn. Not to mention the bizarre implementation (or lack thereof) of motion controls, and unwieldy mouse options.Thankfully, this entry in the Tomb Raider mythos remains one of the very best, and clever visual design means that your trip through Yamatai is far from ugly, as long as you don't inspect too closely. Crystal Dynamics' 2013 reinvention of Lara Croft just might be the best entry in this decades-old franchise, and for the asking price, you're getting a thrilling action romp that'll keep you hooked until the credits.
