    Playing the game solo is just too easy and too short (in fact its easier and shorter than guardians of light). For a furthermore challenge and true enjoyment the game should technically be played with 2 or more players. The use of gems to open up treasure chests is a nice new feature but the actual loot itself is just not varied or powerful enough to warrant replayability.

Further cons including lack of 21:9 support, sometimes buggy, laggy and poor co-op connection. Overall, an enjoyable experience none the less but the game has so much potential which wasn't explored fully enough.… Expand

    Hack n' Slash with some puzzles, looking as good as most of these games do, entertaining enough, but not particularly exciting or addicting. I never felt the urge to come back to it. I was never bored playing it.

    The game's graphics is good! Lara looks cute and sexy! But the game's story is bad!
    The story is too short, Lara's gears are too many but almost useless. No replay option as LC & Guardians of Light.
    The same as Hitman, SquareEnix would've not made a good LC series since Eidos has no longer developed it.

    The Temple of Osiris seems somewhat dumbed down compared to Guardian of Light, but it still is a quite an enjoyable game, with some kinks in the experience that is.

    Game has a nice art style and its cool to see Lara Croft in an egyptian setting again. Graphics are pretty alright.

    Game has a nice art style and its cool to see Lara Croft in an egyptian setting again. Graphics are pretty alright. As 2013 Tomb Raider rebbot trilogy sadly distanced itself way too much from the classic Tomb Raider, it was refreshing to see that Crystal Dynamics hasnt forgotten about it completely and still somewhat care about the legacy, with classic looking Lara in shorts and a tank top to boot, with few other cool outfits to choose from. I was also very pleasantly suprised seeing Keeley Hawes returning once again to voice gaming's best heroine.

    The puzzles like i tried to signal before are somewhat simpler than those that can be found in Guardian of Light, yet they still offer a reasonable challenge, also theyre still ways ahead of the puzzles that can be found in survivor era Tomb Raider games, which is as weird as it sounds considering Temple of Osiris small arcade scale, but its true. Combat somehow also doesnt feel as refined as in GoL, but again it works well enough in order to deliver you fun shootouts. Luckily they have included quite a decent arsenal of guns to play with just like in GoL. One gripe i have though is how rather underwhelming the pistols sound, they have the same sound effects that of 2013 reboot pistols sounds, and if you've played that game, you'd know they just sound off and inferior to pistols of odler Tomb Raider games. CD also sadly have stripped the options to walk and drawing the guns out that were in Guardian of Light, small for most, but for me important layers of gameplay as i like every detail i can get.

    Performance is where the game struggles, generally it runs well enough, but plenty of times the game stutters quite noticeably, in specific areas in the game world and levels even more so, it can be quite jarring. I tried playing around with screen modes and V Sync, didnt help. The game's camera angles also can be quite a pain in the arse, at times they zoom out way too far. Final boss camera especially can get annoying in this regard.

    In the end i can still reccomend The Temple of Osiris to any Tomb Raider fan as it is a decent experience, there's something for both fans of the more classic games and its easy enough to get into for modern fans, just expect a game bit rough around the edges.    … Expand

    O jogo é uma involução em relação ao primeiro jogo. A história tem uma profundida maior, porém o desafio, junto ao sistema de combate, inimigos e design de mapas é inferior ao Guardians of Light. Nota: 6,5

    I have fond memories of the latest rendez-vous with Miss Croft in the Temple of Osiris and I wish you the same. [02/2015, p.50]

    A nice Christmas gift for the fans of ‘classic’ Lara Croft.

    Instead of building upon Guardian of Light’s ideas, Square Enix produced a rushed rehash, turning Aztec pyramids into Egyptian ones. Those who played the original game won’t find anything new here, save for some puzzles with mirrors. [Feb 2015]
