"Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition runs far better than expected, the narrative remains gripping, and despite visual compromises, the overall experience still shines. Even at $20 or less on some platforms, some fans may wish more effort had gone into this …"

"This is hardly a definitive version of Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. It struggles to capture the rather distinct art direction of the original and is missing details of the later definitive release. The visual cutbacks are too large for the …"

"A good third-person shooter but a bad Tomb Raider game; that’s what Crystal Dynamics’ reboot for Lara Croft boils down to. When you ignore the inconsistencies between the story and gameplay, as well as the annoying characters and poor writing, …"

"Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is another bare minimum remaster from Aspyr, which doesn&a;#039;t give Lara or the Switch 2 the attention they deserve."

"Overall, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on the Switch is an important port, full of significance for the franchise&s;s history, and despite some stumbles, playing this adventure on the handheld is still worthwhile."

"The Switch 2 version of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition isn&s;t the prettiest or most visually stunning. But it&s;s a pleasant, fluid, portable, and modern version that respects the original experience and makes it accessible in a different way."
