Only London can hold a candle to TR1 in terms of something new and interesting (Exploring a city, the cult, the train scare [>.<], Sophia herself [^.^]...)

What I adore in TRC the most is that it has a consistent narrative (Lara’s presumed dead and we get to see her four never-heard-before adventures) supported with cutscenes and 2 more games (TLR, AoD)... It all felt tie together and wasn’t a chore to understand/finish (Looking at you TR2 and TR3). It was the most polished Classic, no matter what people say...
I definitely would've been fine with TR2 being replaced with TR3.

In terms of the game with the most consistent narrative, that goes to TR1 for me. It's surprising the easiest to follow. The cutscenes are very limited but they all serve a purpose and are straight to the point.

TR3's one of my favorites but it has to have the worst story out of all the classics. TR2's isn't great either, but it at least has a good ending.

Wow, this sounds like an awesome idea :0

Let's hope some higher-up at Square, Crystal or Eidos thinks so too!

Default Unpopular Opinions (TR Anniversary Edition)

• I like the adrenaline dodge

• I find Lara quite easy to control

• The game is not buggy and unpolished

• I like the chemistry between Larson and Lara

• I like Larson being Lara’s first kill (Oops ^), and I have to say: LAU first kill > Reboot first kill.

• Anniversary Manor > Legend Manor >>> TR1 Manor

• TRA Legend attire > TRL Legend attire

• I find Anniversary Lara’s personality the perfect balance. Not too cocky nor fragile...

• I like TRA’s ending, which some people find odd bcoz: Why is Lara looking at her hand and smiling?!

• Anniversary wall-run > Shadow wall-run >>> Underworld wall-run.
If LAU Lara knew how to wall-run, why didn’t she perform it in Legend? And why does the gold grapple rings follow her around again after 10 years? (Anniversary -> Legend, Underworld = 10 years)

• I would have loved an Anniversary II-type game with Anni Lara. Maybe it would have helped me like TR2

how can you have opinions of TRAE, if it never even been released?

There is Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition, made by Core Desing.
There is a Tomb Raider - Anniversary, made by Crystal Dynamics.

Then you should check out the TR2 remake demo by Nicobass. It plays a lot like Anniversary.

Unpopular Opinions (TR Anniversary Edition), just like the threads title. I also did it with another post: Unpopular Editions (TR Chronicles Edition). And the opinions are unpopular...

It was too Underworld-ish for my taste...

They're different? Never noticed. Other than the braid of course.

Speaking of braids and Legend.

I prefer Legend's braid over all other braids she's ever had, except maybe AoD's. AoD and Legend Lara also have the best fringes ever. I don't like any other Lara's "front" hair styling except I think Osiris' fringe. Not sure if any of these are unpopular opinions though.

One that is definitely an unpopular opinion though is Legend Lara's makeup. I LOVE it!

AoD and Legend Lara remind me of Daria and Quinn Morgendorffer

I agree with you on both of these...

Both AoD and Legend Laras’ fringes were just OK. Not too messy or distracting, but giving her a more distinguishable look. I slightly lean towards the AoD fringe becoz it has physics...

I have no idea about why people had problems with Legend Lara’s makeup. AoD Lara had a gothic one too...

I remember thinking that one strand of her of AoD Lara's hair always reminded me of a dangling noodle 😂 I think that's literally my only issue with AoD Lara's hair 😅 Legend Lara's fringe moves too by the way. In the scene where she's talking with Winston before going to Nepal at least, that's literally the only time I remember it moving lol

I think Lara gets away with her Goth mascara because it was super 2003 and also because her eyes are more "cartoons" than Legend Lara's.
