How sweet it is to see this franchise return to Egypt after so longThe story calls back to the Tomb Raider games of the 90's, and makes no attempt to be gritty or dark, for the better. Set in Egypt, you'll face scarab beetles, mummies, undead Pharaohs...

A lightweight but lovable adventure in the spirit of the classic Tomb Raider games. It’s not particularly deep or innovative, but it balances combat, puzzle-solving and exploration well, and the third-person visuals and level design work better here than they did in Guardian of Light. Do you still like Lara? You’ll like this.

Tomb Raider has been split into two very different series. The first is the gritty and dark reboot that came out recently, filled with strong female characters, questionable scenes of violence, and lots and lots of wolf killing. This series brings Tomb...

And yet as an afternoon's worth of jolly cooperation, Lara Croft's newest sojourn makes a fine flight of fancy to an Egypt that probably never was, but certainly should have been.

My main complaint is that there isn't enough of it—clever puzzles, shooting, and platforming have zero fat, and make its four hours fly...

Given issues like the poor loot system and the occasionally awful camera, it's amazing how quickly and thoroughly Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris turned me around from my initial lukewarm feelings. It's not going to stick in my mind the way 2013's Tomb Raider has, but Crystal Dynamics has built a tidy, pleasant throwback to the more simple adventures of Lara's past.

Maybe Osiris isn't the only one who finds himself fragmented these days. In Crystal Dynamics' big budget Tomb Raider games, Lara is a victim of some serious Nolanisation. She bleeds as she scrambles over rocks, she cries about all the wolves she has to...

Despite issues with some of the puzzle designs, there’s a lot to enjoy on your own, and even more so in local 2-4 player co-op where the inclusion of additional players freshens up the design and gameplay. The major glaring fault in this package is how its online features have been implemented, with strange bugs and forceful overwriting of campaign progress.
