TR:U è un grande passo avanti rispetto al predecessore Legends, sia dal punto di vista della grafica, con modelli poligonali, texture e giochi di luce che si difendono bene anche oggi, sia dal punto di vista del gameplay, con mappe più grandi e un sistema di combat leggermente migliorato.
Il gioco purtroppo non è esente da difetti : Lara spesso e volentieri non si aggrapperà dove ci si aspetterebbe, i controlli non rispondono sempre bene e dovete quindi prepararvi a vedere Lara cadere, cadere,cadere e cadere morendo per delle cadute stupide di mezzo metro, altre volte invece salterà nel vuoto invece di aggrapparsi ad un'asta messa difronte perché lei ha deciso così, per non parlare del rampino che funziona quando vuole lui. I combattimenti sono migliorati leggermente, ma fanno schifo lo stesso come in Legends.
In soldoni è un buon gioco per chi ama i jumping puzzle e l'esplorazione.

7/10

This game is the best one of the series up to the remake in my opinion, and especially fans or south-american, and norse mythology will get more than their money's worth out of this. The graphics can still compete with many comparable games today, and will demand higher system specs than you would estimate.

I will say this though: If you are familiar with the "old school" Tomb Raider games, the game's puzzles will be smooth sailing for you. The game is fairly easy and you always have the feeling of being Superior to your enemies, however the landscapes, architecture, and atmospherical beauty in every single location makes this game a must-have for not only Tomb Raider fans, but also graphic afficianados, RPG fans, and intricate story lovers.

I rate this game with 4 of 5 possible stars, but only because of its easy predictabillity when familiar with the franchise

Before Crystal Dynamics took hold of the franchise, Tomb Raider was in dire straits. The downward spiral had finally reached the bottom, and you'd be forgiven for wondering if we'd ever see Lara Croft return to relevancy again. But just like that, Legend was released and all was forgiven, with a tighter knit, better polished, and more cinematic Tomb Raider than we had seen in years. The follow up, Anniversary, reworked the original TR with a modern engine and a handful of additions and fixes to polish it off into something that, while not quite the hit Legend was, set the stage for the final game in the trilogy, Underworld, which fully showcases all the CD was aiming for by combining the best parts of their past two games into a fitting end to their first run with Lara, and a solid game in its own right.

Underworld is a direct sequel to Legend, which means if you haven't played the latter (and preferably Anniversary as well), you're going to quickly become lost in a sea of supernatural monsters, returning characters, and a plot that bites off quite a bit more than it can chew. All that said, it finally answers most if not all of the questions proposed by the last two games, finally giving Lara some closure for all that's happened up to this point, as well as for the trilogy, allowing CD free control to go wherever they like with a sequel. It's not going to blow your mind or keep you thinking about it after the credits role, but the narratives blockbuster mentality is more than enough to entertain and carry the game through to the end (provided you don't stop to think about why anything is happening alone the way).

While Legends focused more on style and set pieces, and Anniversary on classic tomb raiding and puzzle solving, Underworld finally manages to meld these two halves almost perfectly, creating what I would consider the truest expression of Tomb Raider Crystal Dynamics has made. The mechanics themselves have been expanded significantly from past games, with platforming in particular getting a much needed upgrade thanks to Lara's larger move set, which feels far more natural and free form than what we've seen in the past as well as allows for a greater amount of variety in the level designs. The levels themselves have also gotten a boost, now on an outrageous scale that towers above you as you attempt to work your way through them, populated by more elaborate puzzles and a ridiculous number of hidden collectibles to find. Everything that Tomb Raider is known for has been improved and taken on a new scope, but in a similar vein, all the has been wrong with the series for years has been entirely neglected.

Combat, though moderately improved, is still as mindless and unsatisfying as ever. The camera continues to be your worst nightmare, seemingly out to make navigating through levels a living hell and often sending you jumping off in entirely the wrong direction. Numerous frustrating glitches make themselves known throughout, from harmless bugs to aggravating mishaps that make progression incredibly difficult. Most disappointing though is how the level designs can often get ahead of themselves, leaving you scratching your head at the enormous size of them without the slightest idea where to begin. The hint system certainly helps in this regard, but it's an imperfect solution, and ideally one you shouldn't ever need to rely on.

If you have ever played a Tomb Raider game before though, none of this should surprise you. As I said before, Crystal Dynamics has built up what the series does best, while quietly ignoring its issues perhaps hoping they'll be overshadowed or ignored. Personally I'm more than capable of putting up with these annoyances in exchange for the rest of the experience, but I'm definitely beginning to ask myself why I'm OK doing this, or if I should have to (the answer for which is obvious). If you didn't enjoy Legend or Anniversary you will find nothing more to draw you into Underworld, but for those who have yet to tire of Lara's escapades Underworld provides a fitting final chapter in this particular story of her life, if also a signal that it's probably time to move onto something new.

Very Beautiful Graphics.
Amazing Stroyline.
I Love The Soundtrack
Overall Very Good Game
I Give It 9.5 out of 10

pros: varied and expansive environmental design, some puzzles are challenging and well designed, soundtrack fits the theme, all the women in this game look like hot ♥♥♥♥♥es

cons: derpy camera angles, clunky movement and controls, you can't directly select which rings you want to grapple/rope, boring story plot and underwhelming ending, terrible supporting characters, combat is basic and repetitive, and some puzzles I found wasn't executed very well.

Overall, you will find Lara doing actions that you didn't want her to do because of clunky controls and derpy camera angles, causing you to die countless times. There is also no shortage of transformers buildings for your viewing pleasure. Although the execution of this game may be flawed, what it offers has value.
Tomb Raider: Underworld has my recommendation.
