Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

Hubby and I like playing Lara Croft & The Tomb Raider games together...and by playing together I mean, he uses the controller, and I help him to figure out puzzles when he gets stuck.

Recently he was trying to find some retro games on the Xbox One, since he knows I enjoy those, and well he stumbled across  Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris instead.

This is an action-adventure game, and the sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.  The Lara Croft Series is a spin off of the Tomb Raider Series, which was a first person shooter type game.

We liked the 3rd person shooter style better than the isometric-view which the Lara Croft Series is.  It's easier to see what she is doing when you can get up close like that.  Although in the Temple of Osiris, you can have two players, which you couldn't do with the old style games.

In this game you start out in the Temple of Osiris setting free his wife, and son, which causes you to be cursed.  From that point on, you will have their help while you fight the other gods who have destroyed the temple, while trying to restore the temple. 

Lara has all the same skills as normal: shooting 2 guns, grappling hook, climbing, hanging, etc., as well as a few new toys and weapons.

Through out the game play, you are able to solve puzzles, although we found most to be fairly simple, and didn't really need to try to play around too long.  There are statues through out the tomb that will point you in the direction you need to go, as you can sometimes get turned around.

After a few days, with only playing an hour or two, hubby was able to finish the game, so it's not overly hard to get through. 

But the game was fun, and we would recommend it.
