The hardest Tomb Raider game of them all. A game so cruel and psychopathically uncaring that it doesn't just want to stop you from progressing through its story, but it actually wants to kill you in real life as well. If it could somehow manipulate your hands into jamming the sticks of your controller into your eyeballs, it would only be too happy to do so.

this is not a game, phsically torture which is objective kill all gamers around the world, imagine 15 yo boy with no english just try to play this game cause there is no internet and only game he has, yep its me.

Ah, the olden days, when devs put a 3 in the title and were like: "You've played the previous ones, you should have the hang of this by now. You won't mind if we decide to be a little bit sadistic, right?" - and just went balls deep with the difficulty.

The best thing about this game for me is the horror atmosphere it's developed. Something about it seems.. macabre to say the least. You got floating bodies posed like they were crucified with big gaping bloody holes in their chests, a group of deformed people hiding in the metros of London after being subjected to horrible medical tests, Area 51 with disected alien bodies, a group of wounded soldiers trying to hold back a cannibalistic tribe and dinosaurs, and last but not least the entire Antarctica chapter taking inspiration from John Carpenter's The Thing with the horribly mutated body horror scientists and end boss, and H.P. Lovecraft with a whole cursed ancient lost city in Antarctica. The lighting system and the late 90s game design and low poly graphics add on the horror even more. I love the series immensley, but I've always thought it could've used more horror elements like the Antarctica levels and the Atlantean levels of TR1, what with the walls and floors being covered in pulsing veins and organs and the sound of a heart beating in the background.

so a couple of comments, first, in the Lost city of Tannos, there's a clue for the fire pillars .. there's a small minimap on the roof, that highlights the right path if you light a flare just under it. Regarding the maze, you need to stop at every corner and see in which direcion Lara hair blows, since it's the air puzzle. Also, if you find all secrets, there's an extra level that you missed !

Facts

I managed to beat the game without any walkthroughs on ps1 as a kid. Shall I say that it has been a pain in the ass for more than a year ? On some levels you just get completely lost,looking for a path for weeks. Still my favourite TR game

This is HANDS DOWN the best and most accurate review I ever saw on YT. I sign under EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. First I played TR2 since I remember I enjoyed most in 1997 when I was 21 years old. Now at 45, with "more brains", better skill and computer I decided to go again on the memory lane. TR2 was very enjoyable - especially Venice levels ( maybe because in RL i live 2h car drive away:). Then I went to TR3 since I don't remember I played back than or at least if I played it I remember London stages was quite cool. I went through the rough way - with no help on internet and guides. I played it for fu*** 3 months. And than after 2 fuc*** weeks I gave up. In the kayak level. Where you fuc** can row upstream. REALLY. FUC** REALLY:). I did manage to the end though. Mainly because of great music score and cool jazzy effects. And my almost 4 year old son who brags every afternoon to play with me. All in all - It wasn't that bad and if after 3 or 4 months after I finished it gave me some kind of feel good achievement. Would I play it again?? FUC* NO. (or maybe in next 24 years when I will be 69:)

There's a boiler room to shut off the flame leading down to the water treatment area, which can only be opened via key found in the tall atrium room found at the beginning of the level, down the hall. Several secrets will certainly be overlooked, either from sheer difficulty, or having absolutely no clue to point the player out where they're at. The first time I played, I completely avoided the flame shutoff room too, as just getting the key and getting to the room is a HUGE diversion from the path, completely ruining the level's flow, ironically.

I love how raw and unforgiving this review is. Zero holds. Zero filters. Zero shits given. The man says it how he feels it with zero apology, and this game is deserving of every gripe. I love the Tomb Raider series, but after completing this one I had little desire to replay much of it. There were a few levels I didn't mind revisiting from time to time, but I'm good on the rest.

14:23 you can cross on the left side, too - with difficulty. I know this because I've never crossed on the right side the way you did there - and I really have played TR3 an awful lot Oh and I've always had to put the Thames Wharf fire out using a key to get to a boiler room - that's if I don't take one of the 2 accidental shortcuts through the level that get you through it in less than 2 minutes

About the way forward in Thames Wharf. There is a way to turn off the fire in the chimney. You need to find a Flue Key that opens a door to a switch that you throw and it turns off the fire.

That bit in London about dropping down next to fire; you were supposed to turn it off from another area, so you just effectively sequence broke the game by skipping it. With the way that level was designed, it's easy to miss.

Whenever I play through this game I get a deep feeling of dread whenever I start the Aldwych level. There's also a glitch in that level where if you don't step on a particular tile, a room won't change and you can't progress any further. It cost me an all-secret run before.

I've played this game so many times I know it off by heart (even the Lud's Gate water puzzle) but watching this REALLY took me back to playing this game for the first time and being SO frustrated I wanted to throw it out the window. And that was in Temple Ruins! AND I had a walkthrough! This game was my nightmare in the 90s -_- love it now though, I think it's probably my second favourite (after TR Last Revelation, the review of which I'm very excited to watch!!!!) OH and the fire puzzle in Tinnos has the solution on the ceiling if you light a flare, but I'm sure you know that by now :)

This game gives me serious PTSD. As a huge fan this game broke me, I couldn’t finish any level besides the first. Had to use level skip cheats.

This game was built to sell walk-through books lol they knew what they where doing!

The level you are referring too was supposed to be in the main game, after London rooftops and before Aldwych.

And about The Lost Artefact, it's an excellent add-on and it continues the story of TRIII. I never understood why GS doesn't like it.

Yes the game is difficult, but it's old in a good way since it really let's you EXPLORE the game and it's solutions. This is how games should be, not like Uncharted where it's almost laid out for you and health is regenarative and is scripted as fuck. It let's your brain get to work, mistake learn mistake mastery.

When I played this first time I also stuck at vehicle section where you have to hold sprint button. Then I accidentally watched games demo mode that when you wait certain amount of time at the start screen and game shows some gameplay and that's where I saw how to jump that gap. That's not the only time Demo play helped me in resident evil 2 I saw that statues can be moved to get gem.

This game was hard enough on PC, but on PS1 it was absolutely brutal due to the save crystal system

That was my first TR game, played it the first time when I was 7

River Ganges was an ass because I didn't take the bike across the river. So I had to do a very difficult running jump to get back. Needed to watch a video to show how to do it. Even then it took ages to get it. Also I had no idea about the sprint function for the bike. But I still managed to cross gaps by driving at an angle so I have slightly more time to accelerate.

some of the puzzles have clues, but others don't. There is a bit of an inconsistency there. For example the fire platforms in Lost City of Tinnos have a block that maps out the safe platforms if you light a flare. The London levels were just so goddamned long though. Lud's Gate broke me a bit.

Awesome, informative, review (only watched to place I'm currently at so no spoilers). The PSX version of the game is even more brutal as it only gives you limited number of save crystals. Question I had...Let's say I'm in level 4 in India, if I go back to Level 1 (Jungle) so that I can get the shotgun and then use a save crystal to save, will all my progress be wiped out? It's weird, when I'm in Level 4, I have at least 6 health packs, but when I play level 1, it appears to start off w/ zero, so I'm afraid if I save, I might have the shotgun but either (1) lose all my progress so far, meaning I'll be back to level 1, or (2) not lose my game progress, but lose the med kits, flares, etc. Didn't know if you might know.

The Game Statistic​ I'm a hardcore TR fan. I've been one since the very first one from 1996. So needless to say that I love the "original" Lara Croft and classic games. But for some reason I still enjoy TR 2013. As an action game it is fun and exciting, but as a TR game is really, really disappointing. I will watch the video in link later. Thx for sharing! Can't wait for more reviews. Peace

Well, personally, I love Aldwych; but the entire game is unnecessarily difficult and I've never managed to complete it without consulting a walkthrough at times. For me the London levels are fun because I like London but, moreover, there's something weirdly exciting about Lara exploring such a 'normal' place, but in a way that makes it surreal. I've always enjoyed scenarios when ordinary places are changed, such as rooms filling up with water etc.

My first Tomb Raider, so tough and never finished but still my fave!

2:05 That is how you do a jump scare.

14:12 You can actually go by either side, I always use the one in the right, you just gotta stick to that wall.

24:22 There's a platform nearby that shows the way to this puzzle.

If memory serves me correct, I was stuck in London for a whole month. I had no access to internet or guides at the time. Also, I would get so mad when I would use a save crystal only to discover I was at the end of the level.

If you look up at the fire puzzle at the temple in the end there is a map in the ceiling showing you were to jump

If you're going with the PS1 version of TR3 it would be best played on an emulator. I think even it's superior to the PC build when you factor in being able to fast forward the game during the annoying climbing, monkey bar, crawling, and block pushing segments. Save states negate the terrible save system on the PS1 as well. Don't be ashamed to use a guide, this game is downright cryptic at parts especially in London. Good luck because the game's notoriously difficult.

Remember the ICE Palace Level in TR2 to get the golden Secret? Tooked ages for me to see the different Texture on PS1.

@darkestfugue For years, I thought Underworld was the worst. Tomb Raider 3 has changed my view completely. It is the worst of the franchise. Glad you are enjoying Rise!

@@lookcloser524 i thought underworld wasnt bad, i love the areas shes in towards the end but overall i dont remember much of it, nothing beats the first game for me and i liked the sequel overall, i did enjoy legend as entertaining fluff and i enjoyed the reboot for what it was, basically an on rails movie, the rest is all kind of forgetable, becuse i have a ps4 i bought 2 years ago but never did anything with it, i decided to check out the uncharted series, i played through the first and it was a solid game, but i am really enjoying part 2, i understand now why people say uncharted was so good

I know all 3 of the OG TRs by heart and TR3 is by far my favorite to replay. The levels are far more interesting, varied, and challenging than anything in the first 2 games. The design choices that make TR1 and 2 much better first playthrough experiences actually make them much less interesting to replay, since they're just not that interesting once you know what to do. TR3 still packs a good challenge even when you know the level layouts, traps and enemy placements by heart. I really, really like the new game plus mode for TR3 in the new remastered version (all weapons from start, no med packs, tougher enemies, crystals are the only way to save and heal). It rewards you for being careful and seeing how many tricky sections you can make it through before saving.

Did you remove the part where you called the game hard r? that was the best part.

Im litterally trying to record the script now.

Not sure what I did but if you do the key room In lost city first the Hornets wont spawn. So I saved it on the platform where the fire dish swings. Did the whole thing then saved at bottom level. I redid the level to save on ammo and did this room last and they spawn so..I guess designers where thinking this time...

2 and 4 offer better level design and higher degree of difficulty imo,but 3 is still awesome game .Nice video 👍

I never connected to the game. While TR1 was mindblowing, TR2 was a polished, bigger and better version of TR1, TR4 had the best story and well thought and designed locations and TR5, at least in retrospective, was the farewell of the classics, TR3 feels to me like its just there. I dont really like the places she goes (except of india) and the sometimes ridicolous amount of difficulty. Also I think the locations are way to modern. Overall I think you can really feel that a new team made this game.

I felt exactly the same when i first bought it on its release date. Was so disappointed. Just felt very bland and uninspired, they made some great additions with the crawl and sprint mechanics in Lara, and added some awesome new guns, but level design is way more important than those minor things for a game that is built around map exploration and traversal, and they abandoned what made the first 2 games a pleasure to play, instead favouring for making it harder to figure wtf to even do.

i have finished tomb raider trilogy including chronicles without a faq, how did i managed it is still a mystery, perhaps i was skilled enough, now i hate puzzles in any game

I just started playing the tomb raider series for the first time and beat the first two months ago and loved them but the third one I didn't like at all and some of the things that make this game worse for me is the bad level design,can't see what you picked up like previous games,you have to press two buttons to light a flare unlike previous games,dark levels,crawl mechanic,less colourful to previous games,long levels,poison mechanic,ect so I'm hoping the fourth game is much better

Agree totally. I grew up in the 80's/90's, I was there Gandalf.. JK, but i missed the first Tomb Raider games release hype, and when i bought a PS1 about a year after everyone else had one, i got Tomb Raider 2 alongside the console as it looked like an interesting game. I loved every moment of it (maybe the moments on Living Quarters and The Deck a little less, but i digress). Eventually I played some of Tomb Raider 1 but after playing 2 before that, it felt like a jump back in quality, it started off great but i felt the levels were becoming a bit same same, and lacked variety compared to TR2. I bought Tomb Raider 3 on launch day and couldn't wait to play it. Man my disappointment, it just felt all off. Started with the Jungle level, the colours just seemed oversaturated yet uniformly bland, this horrible mix of greens and browns, nothing jumped off the screen to me like in TR2. I found no fun in the map design at all. I tried the London map, couldn't play beyond 10 minutes. I couple of times i went back to the Jungle map, and although the difficulty was frustrating, i feel that wasn't the only problem, it just didn't feel fun playing it and i think it's purely the map design isn't really about exploring but literally just getting lost and running around a messy jungle, i don't think it was a good choice for map design for the level of graphics we were at for its time. It's a shame because there's improvements, to Lara's design, the weapons, the sprint and crawl additions to Lara, but if the maps are subpar then all the other stuff is in vain.

@@Artesian_mirage I also loved tomb raider 2 and also agree that the water levels are the worst levels to traverse backed by the ugly colors on them but yeah great sequel of a game otherwise and yeah tomb raider 3 and 4 we're definitely the low points for the PS1 tomb raider games and here's hoping chronicles which is my next game to play for the first time is better then those two games

Last revelation is DEFINITELY the most difficult Tomb Raider

the fact you loose all your weapons in nevada really annoyed me always saved it for last because it was my fav area. not only that, the london underground I got stuck at for so long because there was no indication we could use that one particular ticket booth! Loved the game overall though, found it to be the hardest out of the 5 games.

About the temple ruins mud part you can go down the left side because I have

Tomb Raider 3 is so weird. It's the best and worst game of all 3 ... if that makes sense. The difficulty and moon logic is insane, but the location, a lot of the level design, graphics and dark atmosphere are terrific. I say the good out-weights the bad, but oh man, the bad is bad, or c***y as you beautifully put it :) hoping the remasters will fix a lot of these issues.

To this day I cannot progress in video games, unless I am 100% sure, I have checked every single wall, corner, edge and made sure having all possible schiett item than i could possibly be lacking in later stages. Thanks TR3. -.-

The old butler creeped me out and I locked him in the fridge every time.

Took my dad 3 years to beat this game. On weekends we would sit as a family in the livingroom and watch him play for hours. That was back in the year 2001 I believe. One thing playing this and watching walkthroughs as an adult is wanting to know more about the artifacts.

I repeat watch this eps because of your histerics in the end

The team made this one so hard because they were sick of making them and wanted all the casuals to stop buying them so they could go do something else
