The Worst Tomb Raider Game Should Play a Bit Better in PS5, PS4 Remaster

Generally regarded as the worst Tomb Raider game ever, PS5 and PS4 players will soon be able to subject themselves to Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness by way of a second Lara Croft remastered collection. It’s out next month, but as a new blog post on the Tomb Raider website shares, the updated experience shouldn’t be quite as bad as it was on PS2.

Aspyr is working to update and enhance the game, and restore some cut content. For starters, the modern control scheme used in the first set of Tomb Raider remasters is back (alongside tank controls as an option) which makes Lara Croft “more responsive and intuitive to handle”. You can now fully rotate the camera, jump in the direction the camera is pointing, shoot in mid-air, perform consecutive jumps, and shoot around corners in stealth mode.

As for the times you play as Kurtis, he can now use his Chirugai and tap into his psychic powers to protect himself in a shield. He can also now sprint like Lara Croft and also shoot around corners in stealth mode. Further, an unfinished area of the PS2 game, the training area of the Parisian Back Streets, has been fully restored to help you learn the commando crawl ability without having to glitch your way into the place.

Finally, cut voice lines for Lara and Kurtis have been restored, Von Croy’s cane will now appear in your inventory for a secret, and the pawnshop operated by Daniel Rennes will sell guns and weapon accessories. You can learn even more on the website.

Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered releases for PS5, PS4 on 14th February 2025, restoring The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and The Angel of Darkness for modern hardware. Will you be picking up the collection? Let us know in the comments below.
