Tomb Raider I-III Remastered

Just found out this was released on Valentine's Day, and I'm so excited! Tomb Raiders I-III were my jam in the late '90s. Best 3D adventure experience in a video game EVER. They remade the first one 17 years ago (for the tenth anniversary), and although the then-modern graphics looked spectacular, they gutted the gameplay and even the fundamental architecture of the levels, which is what made the original so much fun to play through - like you were climbing around a sandbox, but the sandbox was all the most exciting and mysterious places you used to research at the library when you were a curious kid.

Cannot wait to revisit such thrilling locations as: a lost Incan city, Greco-Roman structures dripping with mythology, the ancient Egyptian pyramids, an underwater shipwreck, a Tibetan monastery in the Himalayan foothills, a sprawling undergound Chinese temple, the dense jungles of India, a tropical island in the South Pacific, Area 51, Antarctica, and more! Looks like my spring calendar's completely booked.
