When the game first dropped with it’s remastered graphics and all, while everybody is too focused on Lara’s face, i couldn’t help but notice the game doesn’t look anymore advanced then the PS2 Remake, Tomb Raider Anniversary from 2007. Infact, i was inclined to believe it’s literally the same game but with shinier graphics or High Res textures on characters and 4K… because the environments is… shockingly left as it is on the PS1.
Now look, before you tell me there’s improvements compared to the PS1 orgrinal, i know. We all got it. I think most of the times when there’s a remaster of any kind, they will ALWAYS tend to look better then the 20 year old game it’s remastering off of… 
With Exceptions of coarse. Side eyes GTA Defective Trilogy
But here’s my problem… it isn’t the PS2 game.
And the kicker?.. The Ps2 Game looks better then the Ps5 game.
How?

Before anybody tells me, yes i get it. Their obviously intending a style that learns more to cartoony visuals somewhat. And i can see that with the PS1 game. But the PS2 game keeps this well infact on top of adding detail.
And yes, i know the game is doing very well, and good for the game! I was just honestly surprised by the game’s graphics and figured i would throw my two cents on it. Especially for a franchise i never really bothered getting into back in the day. But i guess the term “remastered” these days are like a box of Chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. 
Idk, share your thoughts on it, or if you have nothing to add for the graphics, talk about the game.
