What is Lara Croft GO?

Lara Croft GO is a turn-based puzzle game developed and published by Square Enix for mobile devices and Windows. It is part of the GO series of turn-based puzzle games from Square Enix, which also includes Hitman GO and Deus Ex GO.

In Lara Croft GO, players control Lara Croft as she explores ancient ruins and tombs. The gameplay involves thoughtfully moving Lara around each level, avoiding traps and enemies, to reach the goal. Each level is a puzzle that must be solved through careful positioning and timing.

The visuals use a clean, minimalist aesthetic with a top-down perspective. Lara and the environments are portrayed with simple polygon graphics and bold colors. The emphasis is on logical and strategic gameplay rather than fast action or combat.

Puzzles increase in complexity across five different areas - jungle ruins, a winding mountain pass, a subterranean cave network, a lost city, and a forgotten tomb. New elements and obstacles are introduced gradually, from deadly snakes to spears that block Lara's path.

Lara Croft GO received positive reviews for its minimalist art style and challenging, gratifying puzzles. It won several mobile game awards and is regarded as one of the best mobile puzzle games. With its thoughtful gameplay and distinctive presentation, it stands out in the action-packed Tomb Raider franchise while still capturing Lara Croft's adventurous spirit.
