How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Lara Croft GO
You guide Lara through ruins one space at a time, and every time you move, enemies and traps move too. There are levers, pressure plates and enemies that go down if you hit them from the side or from behind. On Steam it comes with unlimited hints.
