Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is an isometric action-adventure game that still holds up surprisingly well. The gameplay is fun, with a mix of puzzles, combat, and exploration that feels rewarding. The graphics, while dated, remain visually appealing for an older title. The story is decent but more of a backdrop for the enjoyable co-op experience. Definitely one of those classics you can still have fun with in 2025. 8/10.

Well done co-op game. Has a lot of puzzles centered around unique interactions of Lara and Totec. The puzzles get very clever near the end of the game, without relying on introducing new mechanics. The combat was pretty fun too, works well as a couch co-op game. Would not recommend as a single player experience.

It's a fun top down action game featuring Lara. It even has a Couch Coop and is not too complicated or too hard - so I can play with wife and kids, too :D

I am a very big fan of Lara Croft and her adventures. :-) I have played Survivor trilogy and Legend trilogy which made me think to try this one. Definitely it doesn't belong to a AAA Genre, none the less a fun filled RPG adventure game. Reminds me of the Classic 2D Games of Childhood!! Simple story, Challenging tombs and Mission challenges adds more fun to the overall game play. I would say give a try and you'll not be disappointed.

A very fun, short and challenging game. It took some time to get into it and feel motivated to continue, but as you keep playing it started to get interesting and it didn't feel like a chore. The challenges are extremely fun to do and rewarding, game can be hard but it's not punishing when failing. Many weapons and relics, artifacts, to collect. Various different enemies and puzzles. The coop mode was surprisingly a lot more fun to play than single player, really fun and recommended to play with a friend.
