It's really buggy, controls and camera are very slow to reaction time which is a big disadvantage of when you have an enemy to slay and the controls are spacing out completely at some point and you just die without having a chance to fight back.... I do not like this game, and its really not because of my pc cause I have an MSI thin gaming laptop and this game should run perfectly if my laptop can smoothly run assassin's Creed origins without any problem... I wish I knew how to start a refund😅

In an effort to recapture the original series' sense or exploration and puzzle solving, Tomb Raider Underworld changes pace from Legend and Anniversary to a slower and more deliberate experience. It's a competent but mostly forgettable game with some satisfying mechanics and beautiful and sprawling environments.

Lara is not only a tomb raider now, but also a video blogger. Thank you Toby for the ass camera but I prefer to see what's going on around Lara.
1. Controls and some game design elements are secret bosses of this game, because of them you will die a lot.
2. Action part... it was better in 1996
3. Much more linear and platforming has issues but even this game is better than recent reboots. Because even in new reboots they have the same issues.
But if you think which game to buy , this one or Legend, I would say legend, but this one is not the worst TR game.
If you have issue with physics, bugs, performing issues - switch refresh rate to 50.
P.S. If you are looking for an action game - don't buy it! If you like exploration, good characters, mid story and puzzles with good music - you can buy it!

Best of all the trilogy Legends timeline. However, the game are not completed. need to play the DLC from Xbox 360 to get the full experience.
:(

fun

I liked the storyline and various elements of the scenery and plot. Lara seems a lot easier to control than in some of the earlier games.

There are a couple of common glitches that I had to search Reddit for a solution to, but they were easily fixed within the game.

SO GOOD NEVER GETS OLD

The best so far stemming from the original series in my opinion. The combat fighting and flipping around is a lot of fun. The grappling hook is just bad❤️❤️❤️! If you like the old school tombraider setup better than the TR2013 edition..then underworld is the pinnacle of classic Lara Croft.

childhood

Tomb Raider: Underworld, the conclusion of the trilogy, and most likely the previous games that came before it.
I will say this game definitely was not bad, I enjoyed the scalability design of the levels which is actually quite impressive and the somewhat linear exploration. The story in itself is more understandable if you played the previous Tomb Raiders. For those catching up on just underworld, you may be slightly confused. Its overall design is incredible, but not entirely better.

Control schemes are horrendous, especially with the cycle in south mexico. You have to keep V-sync on so that nothing bugs out half the time. Platforming is pretty fun to watch, but it definitely gave me anxiety the entire time I played. I had moments where even making a "near" perfect jump would make me flinch just because the game itself decides that Lara won't even grip onto anything. The problem I had with platforming was the effing camera would spaz out like a little kid tweaking on having too much candy.

I hate saying this, because I love Tomb Raider. I loved the games since my childhood, and Lara Croft is one of the female characters in my list of favorites. But I need to point with sincere honest, Combat actually was really bad. There was nothing more than just lock on shooting, and adrenaline that slows time allowing you to deal more damage. Dodging didn't seem existent. Every time I attempted to do something the worst what happen and I'd still take damage. Enemy Variety was insanely poor, I can tell that there was no attempt to at least make enemies with different variants besides a jumpy spidy boy, a rabies induced bat, tigress on steroids, jumpscare panthers, poachers who all look the same, a mayan thrall who pretends to look like an undead jesus, viking thralls with no real discernible feature beside the lore in the journal, and the undead yeti's that are supposed look like giant trolls to feed in to the games mediocrity with lore.

I am severely disappointed that this particular Tomb Raider had this type of design, and I could be wrong that perhaps the game itself wasn't overly bloated with content in the past. Yet the excuse in this game has besides puzzles that make me feel stupid for trying to solve, is the lack of personality. I know Lara Croft has astounding muliebrity because of how badass she is, how her feminine features show her flexibility and strength of traversing these god-like contraptions. In this game though, it just feels like I'm dragging her beneath a dead end. That leads me to the conclusion, which definitely did not leave me in a cliff hanger, it made me understand to see the Tomb Raider series with its ending, but it wasn't satisfying. There was no closure at all, no real sense of engagement, it was just a bitter happiness. I am glad Tomb Raider was "over" besides the remakes. Though I sat here for a least thirty seconds, contemplating that this was the best executive decision to end the games entire franchise.

Is that enough to merit a dislike? No in fact, the game was decently solid. My only problem was the game should have been longer with more content, at least an extra ten hours, better combat, better enemies. This game ended with a bitter happiness, and it would make more sense to those who played it much longer than I have, especially before I was born.
To conclude, I love Tomb Raider, and will always continue to grow up knowing Lara Croft is and always be will one of the best female characters in gaming. This game was fun to play, just not satisfying to finish. I enjoyed it for what it is, not for what it could've been unfortunately.

7/10.
