Tomb Raider: Underworld

Tomb Raider: Underworld: The Wildest Prequel You Didn't See Coming

Alright, so Tomb Raider: Underworld isn't just another sequel slapped together for a quick cash grab it's actually a wild ride that goes way harder than you'd expect. We're talking three years after Tomb Raider: Legend, and the world's pretty much fallen apart. Like, actual post apocalypse vibes. Humanity? Hanging by a thread, and the only thing standing between total chaos and, well, slightly less chaos, is a squad from the British Royal Air Force called the Tomb Raiders. The King of England (yeah, really) sends them out on a mission to save America's Presidentress, Bella Gardner, who just got snatched right out of her D.C. digs. No pressure, right?

Lara Croft, Daddy Issues, and a Global Mess

If you thought Tomb Raider: Underworld was just recycling old stories, think again. Sure, it borrows a little flavor from Legend, but now there's a global conspiracy to untangle, plus Lara's got personal drama someone tried to take out her dad, and she's not letting that go. This game is basically the grand finale for the Crystal Dynamics era, so you know they're pulling out all the stops. Oh, and there's this new kid, Iris, who pops up and throws another wrench into Lara's already messy life. Family reunions in this universe? Never boring.

Puzzles That'll Melt Your Brain (In a Good Way)

What makes Tomb Raider: Underworld stand out? It's not just mindless shooting or endless button mashing. Nah, this one leans hard into puzzles that actually make you stop and think. It's story first, action second. Even if you've played the earlier games, this one feels bigger, deeper, and honestly, just way more fun. It's got all the classic tomb raiding stuff, but with enough new twists that you won't feel like you're stuck in a rerun.

Why You Gotta Play This One

• Story and gameplay actually mesh no awkward glue holding it together
• Puzzles that'll have you googling solutions at 2 a.m. (don't pretend you won't)
• The world gets bigger, the lore gets deeper, and Lara's still a badass

If you're even a little bit into Tomb Raider, or just like games where the story doesn't take a backseat, Tomb Raider: Underworld is a no brainer. The plot's a rollercoaster, the gameplay's tight, and honestly? It's one of those games that sticks with you after the credits roll. Lara Croft never disappoints, and this chapter proves it.
