Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Lara Croft and the Maya warrior Totec set out to uncover the Mirror of Smoke in the jungles and tombs of Central America, where the evil Xolotl has awakened undead warriors. The adventure is viewed from an isometric perspective and can be played solo or cooperatively.

Explore each level, jump across platforms and navigate deadly traps while solving puzzles built around objects and the characters’ different abilities. Fight groups of undead with firearms and other weapons, and face boss battles along the way.

Levels also hide relics and optional challenges that reward thorough exploration and task completion. Players can unlock weapons, artifacts and upgrades, while the puzzles and level arrangements adapt for solo or two-player play.

Players often enjoy the cooperative campaign, especially the way solving environmental puzzles and overcoming obstacles calls for teamwork. Reviews also praise the mix of puzzles, platforming and fast-paced combat, along with the weapons and optional challenges. Some find it enjoyable solo, though others feel the experience works better with a partner; recurring reservations include repetitive fights, a short campaign and technical or control problems.
