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 …

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…

60 of 520 · most liked firstI 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.

One of those games where they thought carefully about what they could realistically achieve on a GBC - and then did an excellent job of doing so.
