Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a platform action video game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and iOS as part of the Tomb Raider series through digital distribution. Unlike previous games in the series, the game does not carry the Tomb Raider brand and has a heavy emphasis on cooperative gameplay. In multiplayer, players take the role as either Lara Croft or a 2,000-year-old Mayan warrior named Totec. They must work together in order to stop the evil spirit Xolotl and retrieve the Mirror of Smoke. A single-player campaign mode is available that does not include the non-playable character AI following or helping Lara.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was such a cool departure from the usual Tomb Raider stuff! It's more arcade-y, focusing on two-player co-op puzzles and tons of action. The levels are gorgeous, the combat's fast and fun, and it's got that classic treasure-hunting vibe. It may be a little short, and some of the puzzles can be a bit finicky when playing alone, but if you want a blast of old-school adventure with a friend, this is a must-play.
