Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light: First Impressions

So I picked up Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light from Steam for a very affordable price of $14.99 USD a few days ago, and so far I'm impressed with Lara's new play style.


The game is played from an isometric view ie: top down at an angle. Although the view has changed this is still very much a Lara Croft game in the way that you will still explore hidden Tombs, solve puzzles and jump around with guns blazing. But in this new adventure there is less climbing and more action. The puzzles are inventive, the weapons are cool and combat is easy to learn but maintains a good level of depth.


I have encountered one unfortunate bug that occurs seemingly randomly when accessing the inventory screen, it's rare but when it dose happen your greeted with a blank inventory screen and no way out. You can Ctrl+Alt+Del, the game will reaper immediately after selecting task manager so hit the windows key to get back to desktop, then you can end task the game. Luckily the game is always saving your progress so you wont loose much if this dose happen.


I'm only the first few levels in playing the single player mode, but I plan to post a full single player mode review when I'm finished the game.
