# **Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered: A Nostalgic Trip with Contemporary Enhancements**
On **February 14, 2025**, the highly awaited **Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered** compilation debuted for **PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch**. Following the triumph of the remastered initial trilogy, this fresh package revitalizes the subsequent three classic escapades of **Lara Croft**, upgrading them to contemporary standards with enhanced visuals and controls.
While each game in the set receives upgrades, particular focus has been placed on **Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness**—a title that, upon its initial launch in **2003**, suffered from technical glitches and negative feedback, ultimately contributing to the collapse of its developer, **Core Design**. Now, with the skill of **Aspyr**, the game has been revamped with new features and enhancements, aiming to rectify its troubled history.
## **An Upgrade in Visuals and Gameplay**
One of the most prominent alterations in **Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered** is the **graphic revamp**.

Moreover, the remasters introduce **modernized controls**, making movement and combat feel more fluid and responsive. The original tank controls, which were a hallmark of early Tomb Raider titles, have been supplemented with an **optional modern control scheme**, facilitating easier navigation and combat. However, traditionalists can still choose the classic controls if they wish to keep the original experience intact.
## **The Comeback of Angel of Darkness**
The most substantial modifications in the compilation are present in **Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness**.

– **Enhanced AI and combat systems**
– **Smoother movement and platforming mechanics**
– **Bug fixes and stability enhancements**
– **Restored and expanded content** that was initially removed due to time pressures

## **Is the Remastered Collection Worth the Investment?**
Even with the enhancements, **Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered** still possesses some of the quirks and limitations found in the original titles. The level design and puzzles remain mostly intact, meaning certain segments may still appear dated by contemporary gaming criteria. However, for fans of classic **Tomb Raider**, this compilation is a **fantastic opportunity to revisit Lara Croft’s adventures** with a refreshed appearance.
