Some reviewers seem to have missed the hint that these are PS1 games with a fresh coat of paint. “The game is so bad,” said one such customer. “It’s so clunky. Graphics aren’t great. Lara doesn’t move very well.”

Another added: “My biggest gripe is controlling Lara with a DualSense controller, it’s a nightmare.” And yes, I’ve tried troubleshooting in the game settings but after an hour on all three games I give up on.”
