Lara Croft Go is a 2015 puzzle video game developed by Square Enix Montreal and published by Square Enix. A spin-off of the Tomb Raider series. The player moves Lara Croft as a puzzle piece through a board game while avoiding obstacles and manipulating the environment. The developers distilled major series motifs, such as boulder-chases and reaction-based gameplay, to suit Lara Croft Go's time-independent gameplay. The game was developed as a spiritual successor to its 2014 Hitman Go, based on another Square Enix Europe franchise. It was released in August 2015 for Android, iOS, Windows, and Windows Phone devices. Versions for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Steam were released in December 2016.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Plays great on something mobile with SteamOS You can't get any easier than this game. There's hints on each level that guide you through the entire level. Challenge yourself and see if you can complete the levels without the hints. You'll need a guide to find all the vases. Some are extremely well hidden
[h1]Here's what you do:[/h1] This is a puzzle game where every time you take a step, everything else moves, mainly enemies and rolling boulders. You can take out most enemies by walking into them from their back or their side which is when Lara will use her guns to take them out (apparently her guns have very short range). The walkable space is drawn out as lines. Additional tools and puzzle interactions are introduced, such as a spear you can throw to hit an enemy at any distance as long as they are in a straight line, floor and wall tiles that crumble if stepped on twice, and levers and buttons that move platforms. [h1]What I like:[/h1] + The difficulty curve of the puzzles is very good. The new elements are introduced and taught at a good pace, keeping things interesting. + In the pause menu, there is a Hint option that will guide you through the current room puzzle step by step. This is good because there were a few times I was completely stumped and tried it out. If the hint button wasn't there, I would have simply looked up a video, but this is more convenient. + There are relic pieces and jewels to collect hidden throughout the levels. They are collected by using the right analog stick or mouse to select them. Finding everyone of these in a set will unlock a new outfit. [h1]What I don't like:[/h1] - I think the only thing I didn't like was the few times I was completely stumped and had no idea what to do. I did not run into any bugs. [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] I have not bothered to confirm it, but I assume this was once a mobile game. The price is fair and the puzzles were fun to figure out. I'm not even a Tomb Raider fan, but I do recommend this to puzzle game fans.
amazing game ! the game should take abot 2-5 hours to beat and if you have played it on ipad even faster. if you havent played expect a 10 hr play through
