I was never a big fan of the Lara Croft games. I own many of them (not the originals), and most of them are unplayed.

The whole "tomb raider" conceit hasn't exactly aged well for Ms Croft (or Mr Jones, for that matter), but here, Lara Croft is in a turn-based puzzle environment, where the cultural artifacts she's stealing seem to belong to a lot of angry snakes & lizards.

As for gameplay, it's a lot like a turn-based strategy game was mashed up with (the excellent) Monument Valley, and then given a Lara Croft makeover.

...and it works. Intending to only play for 15 minutes, I logged out after completing the second level... 55 minutes later. Each level is broken into stages, and while you're solving puzzles and avoiding critters, you're also trying to keep your eyes open for the collectibles stashed on each level.

For A$13.95, if you like relatively laid back environmental puzzles, it's definitely good value for money (more so if you got it in a bundle like I did), and will scratch that puzzle itch nicely.

Lara Croft GO is unexpectedly:

4: Good

Me dicen por el pinganillo que #DeusExGO ya no está disponible en Google Play y que ya no se podrá jugar a partir de febrero. Espero que no sea el caso de HitmanGO y #LaraCroftGo.

Por cierto, todos ellos son de pago. Pero de pago único, asequible y sin anuncios molestos. Así que yo creo que sí merece la pena comprarlos si os gustan los juegos de pensar.
