“Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light” (“LCGL”) was released in 2010, seemingly as a test to gauge the remaining interest in the ‘Tomb Raider’ franchise among the gaming public before putting bigger and better efforts into the series’ 2013 Cinematic reboot. Having never particularly loved the original three ‘Tomb Raider’ games when I played them on my original PlayStation, I was dubious about anything related to the franchise, being main-line or spin-off. The MeltedJoystick crew were, however, in desperate need of some couch-coop, and “LCGL” promised to deliver it… only it turned out to be in a smaller dose than we required. Regardless, this de-mastered take on the ‘Tomb Raider’ IP impressed me far more than any of the 3D Platformer/Third-Person Shooter entries... |
