    The game-play is very much like its predecessor "Guardian of Light", except that co-op is for up to four players now. Levels and puzzles are adapted to the number of players.

The online co-op mostly results in a chaotic run for the best treasures - but that can be fun, too. It can be less fun, if some troll refuses playing and the whole crew gets stuck. Worse: there is no host migration, you go to main menu if the host disconnects for any reason. I prefer the local co-op where you can discipline your co-op partner(s). I rate it a 9 for local co-op, 7 for online play, 7 for single play.… Expand

    Truth be told, I didn't expect much from this game. I'm a huge Tomb Raider fan, but I don't like twin stick shooters, so if this wasn't a free game on PS+, I'd never buy it. Temple of Osiris was a very pleasant surprise, though.

I'm a huge Tomb Raider fan, but I don't like twin stick shooters, so if this wasn't a free game on PS+, I'd never buy it. Temple of Osiris was a very pleasant surprise, though.

    The game's story is basic and feels like a copy of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. The evil Egyptian god Set want's to destroy the world and it's up to Lara (and her three companions) to stop him. The story doesn't matter, though. It's all about gameplay.

    Unlike the main Tomb Raider series, the Lara Croft spin-offs are viewed from a top-down perspective. Other than that, it's your standard TR. Lara can run, jump, climb, shoot her signature dual pistols and many other weapons, drop grenades, and climb walls using her grappling hook. The perspective takes some getting used to, but you get the hang of it fast. You can play with up to three other players in co-op mode, although it's fun to play alone as well.

    Music and sound are great, as you'd expect from a Tomb Raider game. Lara is once again voiced by the one and only Keeley Hawes, who's been my favorite Lara voice actress since Tomb Raider Legend. Her Lara is smart, kind, and funny, yet also mature and serious. A far cry from the angsty teen we got in the Tomb Raider reboot.

    It's very sad that this little spin-off game is more worthy of the Tomb Raider name than the reboot ever was. This is the essence of Tomb Raider and what it should be like. Exotic locations, lots of tombs filled with puzzles, a few enemies here and there, an occasional boss fight. Throw is a bunch of collectibles and secrets, and you have a proper TR game.

    Temple of Osiris is short but sweet. It's quite cheap as well. If you're into this type of game, or if you're just a Lara Croft fan, pick it up to support the franchise. You'll enjoy it.    … Expand

    With the current price, Lara Croft the Temple of Osiris deserves a solid 8 scores out of 10. I and my friend just finished the game in about 7-8 hours. We had great time together. Fast pace game play + Fresh Channeling Puzzles + Quick reaction combat, these are the game's strong points. The story, graphic and music are mediocre, not bad not great.

We had great time together. Fast pace game play + Fresh Channeling Puzzles + Quick reaction combat, these are the game's strong points. The story, graphic and music are mediocre, not bad not great. However, you need a friend to Coop with to get best experience out of it. If you play alone I would not suggest you to buy because even though you can find other people to play online but many times while solving puzzle you will want to communicate with them. Another major problem is that the game has many bugs when playing online but it is not unplayable, it just slow down ur process. (Mostly reloading checkpoint will solve the problem)

    In Sum, I would recommend everyone who has a coop partner to play this game (best for local coop). If you are alone, it is not much fun but you can try find partner online. I hope there will be game like this more in the future.    … Expand

    New Lara Croft arcade/puzzle game really shines in local co-op when you play with casual player. Like my girlfriend. She enjoyed rayman legends. LBP3 was pretty good in local co-op. She didn't enjoyed Guacamelee - too many combos, too complicated, too many options to go.

    For sure it is not game for hard core gamers or single player play. Even multiplayer via Internet probably is not so cool but local co-op is nice.
    Well.. she also loves little lara statue inside golden edition.
    ps. this game may be also cool 4 people local co-op with mates when you are drinking :)    … Expand

    With beautiful graphics and (sometimes weirdly) varied environments, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris manages to add something fresh to the long line of videogames that Lara has starred in, whilst also staying true to the character. It's a fun and fast paced adventure that is sadly over too soon, even with the optional dungeons, but can be extended with some cheap DLC - for better or worse.

    Enemies and puzzles are easy enough and defeating most of the bosses requires you to figure out the right approach, either by finding weak spots or by playing with the available elements to your favor.

    As usual wIth the Croft games, you're encouraged to explore and collect all sorts of collectibles.    … Expand

    Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is an entertaining game with which to spend a weekend, even more so when playing with friends. Quite short, but for those looking for a game with the perfect balance of action, puzzles and platforms, it's an option to think about at the right price.

    While the game delivers its smooth-edged package efficiently enough, it never manages to raise the pulse like its predecessor, and like an ancient tomb, close inspection reveals some worrying cracks. [Feb 2015, p.114]
