Tomb exploring adventure games?
Hi,

I'm looking for some kind of game, where you are exploring old tombs and similar places, solving puzzles there etc. without having to fight the bad guys all the time (like in games as tomb raider). A little action is ok, but I'd like to have the exploring as the centre of the game (maybe without it can get too boring?).
I really enjoyed exploring the Sims 3 World Adventures tombs and "puzzles", although it's really easy of course, but I'm looking for a game that goes in that direction (regarding the exploration stuff, not the simulation around) and has a good atmosphere.

Any suggestions?

"The Ball" (it's really a strange technology in an ancient underground temple).

You must guide a giant man-sized ball to solve puzzles, also sometimes crush enemies (like monkeys or zombies) with it. In this game you are not the ball itself, you are the person walking next to it and guiding it. Made on Unreal Engine 3, technically it's like FPS, but you don't shoot a normal gun there.

Also, the adventure games by LucasArts: "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". They're pretty old, and either (by your choice) run in a small window or use full-screen with very pixelated graphics (256 colors, 320x200 resolution upscaled with pixelization-removing filter to 640x480), but the art there is very good, much more colorful, realistic and artistic than most modern pixelated indie games.

These two Indiana Jones games take a lot of part of the game in tombs (althrough not the whole game). Also good puzzles.

All are available on Steam.

My problem with tomb raider is, as i said, that I don't like the permanent fighting. the part of exploring is too small compared to the fight sequences (I tried "tomb raider: anniversary" and behind every corner there is something I have to kill).
