they tried. you can choose between old tank controls or modern controls. but given the grid layout of the levels and how lara has to be in just the right spot to make many jumps it can be tricky with the modern controls.
overall a decent remake and good for a couple hours of nostalgia.
I’m using Ubuntu/Gnome/Wayland on the lenovo tp tablet x1 and very happy overall. Mostly using it for browsing, zotero, xournal++ and almost everything works out of the box and very snappy. Not at the level of win or ipad but can do everything I need.
