    It’s definitely my favorite Tomb Raider game! This game has the best version of Lara, beautiful environments, very nice graphics, well-made animations, and really fun levels and puzzles to play through. It was definitely the game that kept me hooked the most. I didn’t enjoy the story that much, but it serves its purpose. Still, it’s a game that’s absolutely worth it for the ADVENTURE.

    The graphics of this game aged like a FINE WINE. Love the environments and the puzzles, fun platforming, very much improved from the previous titles. By far my favorite Tomb Raider Game. It has fun open levels that combine, puzzles, platforming and exploration. Combat is a little mid but ig it was never tomb raider's strong suit sadly. Other than that (and some bugs here and there) there are is a lot to love about …

    Truly an underappreciated Tomb Raider Game. I've played them all and this one has some of my favorite levels of any of them. The underwater sections feel like you are truly diving deep into the ocean to explore ruins. Costal Thailand is such a lush jungle and the ruins there feel like no one has stepped foot in them for a very very long time. The only downside to this one is the controls can be a bit frustrating …

    Disclaimer: You may have to lock this game to 60fps and enable vsync in order for the physics not to break in 2026. Anyway this game has its fair share of jank and shows some age and I was completely tuned out on the narrative, but I think the level design, puzzles, and climbing mechanics scratch an itch for me that I really enjoyed. I am seeing other reviewers complain about the camera, but I personally played this …

Players who liked Tomb Raider: Underworld talk about beautiful environments and graphics that aged well; those who didn't talk about camera issues are a major frustration. Which matters more to you?

Critics, per Wikipedia

Tomb Raider: Underworld received generally positive reviews from critics. The Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 versions of the game were generally highly praised, with many critics comparing Underworld to older titles in the series, such as GamesRadar and The Guardian. In reviews, the environments have been widely praised, many reviewers also praised Lara's motion captured movements and the much less linear style of gameplay, while some criticisms aimed at its "haywire" camera angles and "dodgy" combat system. IGN described the game as enjoyable for the puzzles, exploration and graphics. They went on to praise that quick time events were replaced with adrenaline moments and noted improvements…

    I bought the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy today and was so stoked, but was disappointed when I only saw the first game pop up. Contacted the seller, got automated responses. Was big mad. Y’all. The thing about Steam is the Library is in alphabetical order. 🙃 And I was just looking at the first game.

    I do feel bad that they had to release one Tomb Raider game a year between 1996 and 2003 and famously had to keep cranking them out to meet Eidos demands, but I am also glad that I have so many classic Tomb Raider games to play because they're really fun.

Tomb Raider on Game Boy Colour shifts the action to 2D, but still captures the Tomb Raider spirit superbly.
