Tomb Raider: Underworld

Best Tomb Raider game beautiful locations like thailand, mexico better than the reboot

I have fun with this game. It's a real Tomb Raider.

To avoid some bugs and/or glitches turn on the v-sync ;)

The camera will outright run parts of this game. You'll be swining on a rope and gaining momentum for a leap to a ledge... only for the stupid camera to be twisting and turning as you swing, which you are fighting to correct with one stick while swinging with the other... then finally you launch off the rope and miss your mark entirely because the game had no clear concept of aim. Just dumb and inexcusable. Besides moments like that, the game is mostly a good time and the puzzles are fun to get through. Really cool environments. This is a great version of Lara and maybe the best style of the "Legend" era. It's just too bad the mechanics aren't as refined. Plus combat was never TR's strong suit.

TRU retains many aspects of the original trilogy series and refines them into a whole new modern package. The puzzle solving is intuitive but not difficult to a point of frustration, the environments are nicely detailed and not too big or confusing to get lost or feel as though you are backtracking through endless corridors to find obscure pieces of the puzzle as you do during the original TR series. The main character movement is accurate and precise, which is much better than the frustrating tank controls of the original where timing a jump is a matter of luck rather than skill. The gameplay itself is fun and engaging and each level is interesting to explore with a variety of different locations from large ferry vessels to ancient ruins, all of which flow with the storyline. I feel this was a mature upgrade from TR legend, whereas legend is probably more suited to less experienced gamers due to the action focused gameplay, Underworld balances that puzzle/action difficulty to be the best of both worlds for more experienced gamers. I would say this is the best of the older TR games, maybe even one of the best overall, the modern TR games whilst are very immersive lack that classic TR gameplay.
