"The rare occasion that after nearly three
weeks since its release, I'm the first to
review this body of work. I always end up in
a quandary when trying to objectively review
remakes, as most of the time they are not
the builder's own work. That somewhat is the
case here, but I do want to give the builder
credit for recreating the original TR1 game
pretty much from scratch in the TR4 engine
but with the grainy TR1 aesthetics. I have
scored gameplay lower than the other
categories, as the progression is pretty
much the same all the way through (purely
through my own method of reviewing), the
builder miraculously retained all of the
original sound files plus the ones for the
Unfinished Business add-on, making this a
"Definitive Version", if you like. A couple
of minor errors crept in (a few pickups
didn't appear, the camera went through walls
at times and the AI of the enemies was
slightly wonky), but they don't impact the
overall experience. An impressive effort
indeed." - Ryan (04-Sep-2025)
