Get ready to relive your childhood in better quality. Tomb Raider I-III have been remastered and re-released, alongside all the expansions and secret levels. Lara Croft is back in all her glory to (re)explore ancient ruins in search for artifacts, armed to the teeth with infinite ammo — naturally.

In case you grew up without Lara: You play as the archaeologist-adventurer, Indiana-Jones-in-hot-shorts-esque Lara Croft, who loots tombs, fights off goons (and occasionally lions), and shoots dinosaurs in search of ancient artifacts with supernatural powers.

Remastered doesn’t necessarily mean better graphics. While the graphics from the games, which were originally released from 1996-1998, have been polished, they haven’t been updated. The style of the original trilogy remains in all its 90s glory, and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Some of the textures and details have been tweaked to make for better visuals, but the core of the graphics remain the same. And if you prefer to play Tomb Raider as you remember it, you can toggle back and forth between the new upscaled textures and the old-school PS graphics. Our favorite fix? The lighting.

Some players have logged control issue complaints. Despite its update, it seems that the developer didn’t invest too much time into fine-tuning the clunky old-school movements, which is an issue we also experienced with the Crash Bandicoot remaster. Another issue being logged is an occasionally disobedient camera, but if that isn’t the authentic 90s video game experience, what is?
