Thanks!

However, the remaster allows you to seamlessly switch between modern and original graphics by hitting F1 on your keyboard.

That's excellent, I love it when remasters do this. The Double Fine remasters of the old Tim Schafer Lucasarts games have this feature as well, and it's the number one reason I feel I can recommend them even to a first-time player.

There are some negative reviews for the remaster complaining that the modern control scheme sucks and isn't as versatile as the original, but it can be safely ignored.
The original control scheme is perfectly implemented, and I'd recommend playing with the original keyboard-only controls anyway. It might feel clunky initially but once you get used to it, it's just the perfect way to control Lara.

Right hand on arrow keys, left hand on ctrl, alt, space.

The mindset of professional Diablo 2 players is scary.

Kabas Have you ever heard of or played VietDoom, mate?

Nope, not on my list yet.
Still not finished with Halo: CE.

Keep in mind, however, that the view distance is larger than in the original

Ok that no longer seems to be the case since the latest patch.

Look at this shot I just took in TR Remastered:

Clearly the original graphics now have a shorter view distance, just like the original TR1, where distant terrain fades into black.
Yep, I guess that removes my only caveat - the remaster is the best and easiest way to play classic Tomb Raider today.

And honestly, sometimes the visual changes are kinda cool.
This is supposed to be an aqueduct. In the original, there was just the pool of water, with no outside source to feed it.
In the remaster, they added a little thingie above that feeds it with water. Nice little detail and stays true to the original vision.

I just wish these visual changes were more consistent. Right now it's about 30% good ones vs 70% bad ones.

What's this game?

Less talking, more (tomb) raiding!

Excellent placement of the yellow skull key. A nod to Conan and the Atlantean tomb perhaps?

Still looking for Lara.

I've been beset by a pack of wild JarlFranks, they wanted to inspect my feet. I declined.

Nazi zombies, because of course there'd be Nazi zombies.

The bosses look amazing but they are rather easy to dispatch.

Oi, oi, it's them Ahnenerbe fellers!

Museum is one of the smallest levels but it's also unique. Shattering glass cases to pilfer weapons and ammo was a great idea. And shootouts with glass flying everywhere are always fun.

Good doggod.

This mod has an honest to God artstyle. I am extremely impressed.

Still prefer the fade to blackness in og, and the illusion of scale and foreboding it evokes, but this is ok. Far better than Anniversary which completely killed both characteristics, among other things.

Welcome to sniper mode, otherwise known as Oswald vision... if you believe some people.

This game is a gem. Sadly I can't run it after some windows update...

I got the "Could not create command buffer: out of host memory" error.

Neat idea for a boss in a game about platforming. Deadly laser swipes from one side to the other, and you have to outrun it.

Or this...

Steam reviews all praise the story. It's okay. Way too kitschy in some moments. And it needs to stfu more often.

Fun little action platformer. Goes for £1 on sale.

He was a gud boi ;_;

Scraped by with 1hp on the final boss, and on the last amount of deaths required to get the good ending.

More Tomb Raider Remastered comparison shots.

The Cistern is the first level where I can say, yeah, they did a good job capturing the original vibe with the new graphics. It looks a little different but definitely captures the same vibe.

The pool room in Lara's home also looks quite good, but... again there's a questionable texture choice here.
The original had something along the wall that looked like a mosaic or a fresco.
The new texture is just a marble relief, lacking the original's color and looking out of place.

Man, classic TR and SoT...they really don't make them like they used to.

Two small itch.io games by the same dude : Shakedown, a mini rally game in a custom engine with good looking sights :

And Interminal, where you wander aimlessly in an infinite airport terminal, which makes for a surprisingly nice experience :
