“Super good game, Lara is at her peak / prime in this. It really does needs some bug patches to play more smooth though because it glitches a lot, freezes/cuts some of the cutscenes, & gameplay. I wish & pray Crystal…”

“Good game but controls sucks”
“The platforming is definitely the biggest letdown for me personally. Lara’s jumps often feel hit-or-miss, turning what should be straightforward navigation into a risky endeavor. There are so many instances where she…”

Even if I do get it working, the fact is I shouldn't have to go through this to get a game I paid for to simply work. Steam needs to get its act together with older games, this isn't the first time I've had this…”
