Tomb Raider: Underworld

Either this game has aged terribly, or the Steam version is trash, because I couldn’t force myself through the first post-tutorial level. The controls are awful. Walking’s slow, sometimes jumping against a ledge will grab you onto the wall and cause you to jump off, you can barely even control your wall jumps, the camera fights you at every opportunity, even when you’re trying to direct it with the joystick, and don’t me get started on the rope-climbing. This was released for PS3, not PS1, what’s with the jank? To be fair, I was a bit slow to figure out some of the puzzles and to use the sonar. Some solutions felt obvious after I looked them up, like you have to pull this gear out, and when it tells you to throw the blocks, you throw them beyond the door, but these still managed to have other problems. It’s so unnecessarily difficult to throw the weighted blocks straight, and setting them down causes collision issues that kicks them out of place! Also, to the person who said you just have to turn on V-Sync to fix the issue, no, it doesn’t. I said that I should’ve figured out you have to pull on the gear during the octopus puzzle. Thing is, I did figure that out, but Lara was shaking her head whenever I pressed the button for pulling, and the movement was so slow that it made me think it wasn’t working. Real great communication. I guess to make up for that, there’s a “hidden secret” jingle that plays twice per hallway telling me there’s a collectible nearby I can’t be bothered to find, and I can’t turn it off! Maybe this isn’t representative of the game. I sure didn’t get far, but I don’t feel like dealing with this stuff for hours, not even to look at Lara’s weird frog legs when she’s climbing.

This is my favorite Tomb Raider game, but it's also the worst when it comes to its PC port. Full of bugs, physics based on framerate, horrible camera, crashes, etc. Either play the Xbox 360 version or wait and hope it receives the same remaster treatment as the classic games.

Infelizmente fui com altas expectativas. É um jogo bonito e eu AMO os jogos da lara croft, mas este é muito bugado :( não consegui nem aproveitar o início de jogo, travou bastante e o puzzle bugou todo. decepcionante...

Just make sure to turn on V_Sync. I had loads of gameplay bugs without it.

Tudo bem que é um put@ jogo bugado até não dar mais e que testas tua paciência... Mas é basicamente um dos meu favoritos de toda a franquia. Os puzzles são mais complicadinhos e divertidos, a Lara está absurdamente linda e tem até ruguinhas nas expressões, eu acho isso tão lindinho 🥰🥰

Good game, peak 2008 material. I was pleasantly surprised by the graphics, they look surprisingly good in some cutscenes. In general the state of the PC port isn't as bad as I'm used to from a game from 2008. Lara's appearance is somewhere on the edge between overdone blow-up doll and just really pretty and too based for the woke 2026. Her voice and facial expressions during cutscenes communicate playful malice or something like that idk, which I like. The levels and platforming are nice, felt a little janky, but that's probably because I was playing at 60 fps with Vsync and this game was probably designed for a 30 fps lock like many games of that era. Overall a based, short and sweet game, recommended

Já joguei esse jogo varias vezes mas essa versão da Steam está MUITO ruim, muito bugada, na parte da mansão pegando fogo logo na fase introdutória dos controles você puxa uma porta e ela trava bloqueando sua passagem, da para passar com um esforço mas durante a fase do Mar Mediterrâneo é o ápice pois é preciso colocar duas pedras sobre uma plataforma para conseguir puxar a alavanca e avançar na fase mas quando coloca a pedra no chão ela simplesmente voa sendo IMPOSSIVEL avançar na fase. Joguem o jogo mas não essa versão.

Replayed after years and the entire Southern Mexico part still makes me want to stop living

good game buy it but there are some bugs and problems but its very easy to solve
