    I had never completed TR3 when I was young. So I decided to give it a bash on the remasters. I loved India, I loved Nevada, I loved the Pacific Islands. I’m now on the London levels and I’ve put the game down for months! I hope I enjoy Antarctica more.

    TR in general is insane difficult and not transferable to modern days of casual gaming. It is literally almost impossible to solve without a strategy guide. My dad used to stay nights over nights on one level (even with a strategy book) nowadays the games tell you what to do and you can jump with a 5 seconds delay without any consequences back then it wasnt like that.

    Aldwych lives rent free in my head. The main thing making it hard is not being able to see shit eventually i just upped the brightness and gamma on my screen and it wasn't so bad.
    The bit i got stuck in was not realising i had to go back to the drill room and climb above it.

      That room is actually worse than advertised. If you don't stand on a specific tile as you ascend back up, the drill above you never becomes solid and you can't walk over it for the key. You can softlock the game this way and will be unable to progress. Happened to me on an all-secrets run and ended my run lol

    I remember the pain of playing through tomb raider 3 without a guide - back in the day when it released, it was long before mass acceptance of the internet, and guides cost a fortune, and the magazines eventually released them in sections over many months, many months after the game had released.
    After I had completed the game many months after its release - I rarely went back and replayed it - it was that hard.

    Tomb Raider 3 might be tough as nails but I love the game so much including each and every single one of its levels (except all hallows and I still need to familiarize myself with the expansion stages a bit more) even some of the harder levels like Madubu Gorge, Aldwych and Lost City of Tinnos are some of my favorites. I consider the level Temple Ruins to be one of the best Tomb Raider levels of all time, I think the stage is just very well made and the atmosphere is the cherry on top!
    This game is my favorite game of all time!

    I see everywhere that the lost city of Tinnos is the most difficult level all Tomb Raider existing. When I finally got there, I was really disappointed that it wasn’t more complicated than that... especially when I came out of TR2 and cried about the chain of levels that were the temple of Xian and the floating islands. Tinnos was really nice compared to the end of TR2. It's still a challenging but fun level, that remember me The Saint-Francis'folly.
    However, I would have put the door of Lude in first position. Even if I start to know the level, I still die a number of times in this damn aquatic maze. The water robot is so terrible to use that you always find yourself stuck in a corner and the timing is so short that you always end up drowning. And this even though I know the trick of air pockets hidden in the ceiling of each tunnel.This is definitly the worst level of Tomb Raider 3 for me.

    Aldwych stumped with me far more than Lud's Gate. Once your past its underwater section its not even that bad. But Aldwych can be a nightmare from start to finish. It may not have as many enemies as most other levels, but it's basically a huge maze with confusing puzzles, and is full of death traps. I've since grown to love that level, but I still remember just how exhausted I was when I played through it for the first time.

    TR3 is super unforgiving, but I prefer the levels trolling me to the hordes of gun toting enemies in TR2. The combat is just not designed for that shit. Let's see if 3 is still my favorite after trophy hunting in the remaster lol

    Lud's Gate on PS1 is horrible.
    Lost city of Tinnos is too big and boring.

    I finished it in new game plus mode following Footi's walkthrough (no crystals, all secrets... !!!)
    And if the London part and also the levels that you cite are INDEED horrible, paradoxically the game becomes fun when you have solid game knowledge, but also proof of bad game design "if you ask me :p"

    What a weird Tomb Raider, I can't wait for 4 and 5 to arrive in remaster to give me an idea again even if I know that 4 shares the same faults as 3
