Simple, TR 1/2/3 were much better games for its time than laters TR games were for its time. Things like exploration, platforming, atmosphere, puzzles, level design, huge focus of game was on exploration and finding right path...all that was all much better in original games. But offcourse with badly aged controls and movement, camera, graphics...those games aged poorly, but same thing could be said for huge majority of game from 5. generation.

Cool. And, that's where I disagree. I found the exploration to be more entertaining in the second series. The atmosphere was stronger in the original series, but the second one had refined gameplay and I preferred the puzzles. 

That's interesting - remember how original games had a lot of things being in dark, invisible, you had to go close to the area do see what's there - and potentially find your way up or something. For me at least, exploration felt much, much more exciting and mysterious in originals than in any game later.

It is what defined TR - exploration, puzzles and acrobatic platforming, with occasional combat. It's sad to see to what TR devolved with reboot.
