Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris captures the adventurous tone I originally loved and wraps it in a visual style that feels good on mobile.

- Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a great game to grab for a weekend of couch co-op with family or friends. However, you won’t find much appealing to continue to play it once you’ve defeated Set and made the world a happy place with its lackluster look system. Enjoy it for what it is, but don’t expect to invest considerable time into it.
- 7.5It’s simple – if you enjoy Diablo-esque action mixed with a hefty dose of ruin spelunking, then this is the game for you. What’s more, The Tower of Osiris provides for much more fun when you’re in a group. While the puzzles aren’t particularly challenging, the inclusion of adaptive levels based on the number of players is much appreciated.
- 6.0Sadly, that colors the whole experience. ...The action sections are unsatisfying, tainted by control that functions at a base level but requires the player to fight against it. There are still great things to be found in the Temple of Osiris, and those who care less about scoring points or who have some good partners to team up with can still find some fun in it.
- 6.0Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a decent game, especially with friends – but it’ll never surprise you. The basic mechanics work well, but you’ll struggle to shake off the feeling that they could have been utilised so much more effectively. With no plot and no great rewards, you’ll be playing just for the sake of getting to the end, which won’t be enough to hold everybody’s attention through to its premature conclusion.
- 6.0Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is not a bad game, it’s just not a great one. The singleplayer game brings nothing new to the franchise, and in some ways even feels like a step backwards from Guardian Of Light. As a multiplayer game it takes on a different and welcome dimension, though for every great moment, you can expect equal frustration.
