Tomb Raider Underworld on PS2 attempts a late-cycle adventure. Solid puzzles, demanding platforming and an archaeological mood. Technically limited, but Lara's soul shines through.

Tomb Raider - Underworld (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Tomb Raider - Underworld still worth playing in 2026?
An adventure entry from Crystal Dynamics, Tomb Raider Underworld sends Lara Croft to explore mythological ruins across the world, between acrobatics, environmental puzzles and combat, in a quest blending Norse legends and family secrets. The scale of the settings, the fluidity of climbing and the sense of exploration appeal to fans of the saga. The PS2 version below the HD builds and a sometimes fickle camera weigh a little. A good adventure game for fans of exploration, puzzles and the Tomb Raider universe.
