Are TR1 and TR2 fully playable from beginning to end?
By all means! If you encounter a bug, please file a ticket.

Can we get HD textures? What about other visual updates?
Regarding HD texture packs, that feature is not currently planned.
As for other visual updates, being able to introduce reflections and skyboxes shows that quite literally the sky is the limit. TRX is constantly getting new rendering improvements and texture fixes. But great stuff takes time.

Can I play this on Mac, Linux, Android...?
Currently supported platforms include Windows, Linux and macOS.

Can I play this with a controller?
TRX supports a wide variety of controllers out of the box with no additional software required. The keyboard or controller controls can be fully customized in the Controls menu with multiple layouts.

What about TR3 support?
The team is hard at work continuing to polish TRX for TR1 and TR2 as well as adding features for custom levels. At the same time, work has started on adding TR3 features into TRX, but there is no estimated completion date.
