Yeh it's like she got a really bad fever after finishing the adventure. A little bit of opera house, Maria Doria, Claudios laptop, flame thrower guys, I think she had PTSD.
I posted this idea on reddit when the backroom trend started. The TR engine has very good potentional i think to make backroom lvls :) It's actualy nice to see finaly some level :o
I like to call these kinds of custom maps "scenic route challenges". Tough on their own, but the surreal imagery and unusual places you go to are what make the challenge rewarding.
My brother passed away 10years ago, always watched him play tomb raider 1,2&3 when I was little. Really sucks that I can't ask him if he knew about this level or not, I never saw him play it :/ interesting to watch a bit I haven't seen before. I love watching these on youtube keeps that memory alive :)
I am sorry to hear this. I believe he knows this level in the sky (or heaven) for sure. And at least there are some good memories of you and your brother spending some time in TR games 😊
Incredible level design! So surreal. Intricate platforming. And all of those (sometimes unfair) traps that the original games had as well. Expertly played, you make it look so easy 👏🏼👏🏼
Love these custom levels. Very creative. Which cud play them on modern console. Like the original levels but like the originality of your levels. Very constructive and entertaining to watch. Really enjoy the new games, but nothing beats getting back to basics with old Lara. Fond memories from back in the day
@@stevenPCGaming Yes, it's the pool tiles. It's also kinda eerie to see those tiles all over the place, they probably hired a really cheap designer or something.
I love how this gets more dangerous as you go further into the level and LOL at the random snake creatures just hanging out in the dark room ready to eat you😁
1:51 Wow this entire waterfall area path finding/puzzle solving is so like original TR game! I have to stop watching this video before I play through by my own! Again, you’re genius, well-designed!
Have you seen the add ons for TR Underworld. Beneath The Ashes / Lara's Shadow ?? Much in a similar pretense as Pooltombs. Not as much of a great play but one GREAT story !!
@@terminallygray: Seen? Yeah. Played? Well... I've just commented on another video about how salty I still am re: Underworld's Xbox-exclusive DLCs. Especially since Underworld is my favourite out of the new TRs ("new" as in "the 2013-2018 games don't feel like TRs").
@@Airsaber Still not as bad as reboot by a longshot. Now the TR community is getting their panties in a twist because they're spraying a fresh coat of paint on TR 1 to 3. but..... I can also relate....TR3 Lost Artifact being a standalone unlike Unfinished B and Golden M. It was pretty crass of Core to do it that way.
@@terminallygray: I'd prefer a fresh coat of paint on 4 as it's my favourite, but I'll definitely be getting these three (especially since 3 is my second favourite of the first generation). It just kinda sucks that we have to wait until 2024, but oh well, it's not like I haven't played the originals more than once and it's not like I don't have a ton of other games to play.
Steven links custom levels to their sources in the descriptions, and there's a few archives for TR custom content available (the ones I know of are TRLE and TRCustoms). It's worth setting aside a day or two (and extra storage space if you're downloading) for the archives since there's so many custom maps on these sites for TR2 alone.
Non è facile giocare con solo due medipak ma come sempre sei stato bravissimo a finire il livello! Grazie Steven per aver giocato per noi questo breve ma bel livello :)
Never in my life would i ever believe i would witness tomb raider 2 (of all games) combined with a concept like the backrooms (Of all concepts) Yet here we are. And its fucking beautiful. Tomb raider 2 graphics WITH the backrooms. God bless the modding community for making the impossible...Possible. The backrooms are as they SHOULD be. Making ABSOLUTELY no sense and the environment is confusing with every step you take in TR2 graphics. Glorious.
Big Tomb raider fan played all games and have all games ... Tomb raider 2 is one of my favourite This is awesome 👏👏 Can't wait for next year Valentine's Day 1 2 and 3 remastered 😅😊😂
Just incredible. Im almost at the end of tomb raider 2 right now, playing my ps1 disk in my ps2, so no high definition graphics like this but still so enjoyable
Yes The first 2 Tomb Raider Games prove that You don't always need fantastic graphics for a Video Game Series to be tons of fun to play.@@stevenPCGaming
I HATE WATER LEVELS! You don´t even know how frustrating water levels in every game is. Tomb Raider, Land of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse. And Sonic...oooh, Sonic, I had nightmares for months! Fun times! xD
I always like your walkthrough. So I wanted to ask you if you did or if you could consider recording "Dracula's Return" It reminds me so much of the Fearless Vampire Hunters
The authentic double pistol is still awesome. I play a new Tomb Raider since last week and with 30 hours in die game sadly there is still no double pistol.
Always great to watch you! Apparently this is DLC?! It's crazy how many parts of Tomb Rider there are! I can't imagine millionaires having such things built, only for someone like LARA CROFT to come along and jump around there and maybe break her neck! This is all just made up, at least most of it or at least a lot of it is shared by everyone, but it's still really cool, especially these old parts!☝️🙂🤙
What happened at 7:45 wasn't really what I wanted to see. Actually that's a fatal mistake I've made back there 😂 I was worried if I can finish the level under this circumstance 😅
I dunno but doing that for this kind of purpose feels somewhat natural. That's why I've long been having this habit when shooting with Pistols and Uzis 😄
24:30 yea… I tried this level but made it all the way up to this part, but at a much, much slower pace. Couldn’t beat the time switch/flame. This part is to advance for my tomb raider skills. RIP to me ever beating this level. 😢 It was a good run.
Sorry to hear such discouragement from your experience. I can understand how challenging these upper and lower jump sequences. Having unable to deny the truth I tried more than twice times 😅
@@stevenPCGaming I watched another walkthrough video, and they took another route. I’ll definitely try again, and try their route. It looked “easier” to take. 😭 I will definitely watch the movements and try to recreate and report back if I beat it. But hands down, your run/Walkthrough of that put and the whole video was perfection. Best walkthrough.
*I FINALLY BEAT IT!!!!!* took me many deaths, saves, and loads on both time switches events. Not so many retry’s in the last fight with the enemies and dogs, with half of health and no small med packs, but a few… more like 10 tries or so. 😭 Finished the level in 1: 09: 36 with all secrets and no med packs with very low health. 😅 and it took 82 saves to do it. 🥲
It's so nervewracking. Knowing your health bar is so low that if Lara so much as... chips her nailpolish, or doesn't take a shower, or smokes a cigarette, or forgets to wipe her bottom, or finishes the hot fudge sundae, she's dead. A nice quick little romp. Would have been better in TRLE or NGLE but some have their preferences. I give you that.
This is amazing! how long did this take to make and how many people did it take? Tomb Raider, the first 5 on the PlayStation were the best in the entire series.
How do you get to play these custom maps? I only play on ps5 but I’m willing to download TR 1-5 on steam IF I can play with ease with the ps5 controller. I’d be more inclined to set it up if I could play custom levels too. Any help would be great.

Thanks for the generous explanation, cheers 😄
Are you cheating with Invulnerability?
This rules. The old TR games already have a heavy liminal vibe, especially Lara's home - I think that's one big reason I like them so much.
Tomb of qualopec for me.. it looks decorated and lit 🤔
omg, guys are you still playing TR? I am 30 years old still playing it too 🥺
I'm 35 & still addicted to it

So that's what's under Laras Pool 🤔 it's like a wild fever dream and I love it 😂
hahah so true 😂
Yeh it's like she got a really bad fever after finishing the adventure. A little bit of opera house, Maria Doria, Claudios laptop, flame thrower guys, I think she had PTSD.
I mean, one can argue already that the entirety of the Backrooms is a fever dream.
She probably went on too many adventures and had a bad dream lol Lara needs a good holiday.
That's pretty neat someone made a backrooms level.
I actually believe Lara could survive them.
Of course she does, she's tomb raider 🤣
well she ain't gonna survive the bone thief

Hits me in the nostalgias from old Lara games and liminal memories, exquisitely executed. This is gorgeous ♥️
Glad classic TR still gives people such nostalgia vibes 😄

What a strange level.....but in such a good way though. I quite liked that.
Awesome platform section in the waterfall at the start
I've always liked bounce pad part. The way she got boosted up feels so satisfying 🤣
