I have already posted several articles about the remastered version of ‘Tomb Raider’ that was released last year – and I have not held back with my glowing reviews of this game.

Most of my admiration has been based upon the improved visuals and graphics, and having now played through into the Egypt stages I can safely say that the game designers continue to exceed all expectations.

As usual, I will place screenshots from both the original 1996 game and the 2024 upgrade together, and the differences should become apparent immediately. The greatest example of this would be the Sphinx Room (below), where the improvement is immeasurable.

And look how the hieroglyphs have been sharpened and improved in the following shots.

The next two comparisons are interesting, as the designers have added a skylight or opening in both ceilings to justify the well-lit chambers. I think it’s a great touch.

The scope and imagination of this title continues to blow me away, and I am looking forward to powering through to the end and then continuing on with ‘Tomb Raider II’.

However, before I start the next Lara Croft adventure, I will post a report on the final Atlantis levels, and will definitely be looking at the ‘Unfinished Business’ expansion that is included in the PS5 version of the game.

But until then, here are a few more 1996/2024 captures from the Khamoon stages.

All screenshots were taken from ‘Tomb Raider Trilogy – Remastered’ on PlayStation 5.
