Those games always played horrible.
Even back then when we were playing Resident Evil with tank controls, Tomb Raider trilogy was excessively bad because it required platforming.
I have tried to play them a few times but ever single time it was awful.
One of the most overrated stuff ever.

It's a puzzle platformer, exploration, treasure hunting game... Combat is quarternary. Don't confuse it with modern TR games which have strayed so far from the original formula they're nothing but a tps with some distractions and silly light rpg mechanics.

@Leynos The new games are terrible but get defended cause of boobs / helpless little girl, graphics! Old Lara was bad ass without resorting to graphic nonsense. She didn't even have boobs in the first games, a triangular uni boob lol. Early TR games were not graphical power houses, the level design was the king.

I still prefer the tank controls in the remastered Grim Fandango as well. To me it simply makes more sense and is more immersive to control the character from the character's point of view, instead of by screen orientation. I never got confused which way to press with 'tank' controls, yet when Spider man is hanging upside down facing the camera, he always goes the wrong effing way lol.
