  • Action
  • Puzzles
  • Local co-op

Lara Croft from an isometric view: you gun down hordes of undead and solve trap-filled puzzles in jungles and catacombs; with two on the same PC, the other player is Totec, who blocks arrows with his shield and throws spears for Lara to climb.

Why play it now

When you want an adventure of around 7 or 8 hours, according to Pocket-lint, with optional challenges in every level.

Who it's for

For couples or friends who want to solve puzzles designed for two, though you can also play it alone.
