Works fine as a nice single player adventure too, but it's best to play in coop mode

Works fine as a nice single player adventure too, but it's best to play in coop mode. Great looking, varied and complex levels with awesome puzzles, tricky traps and some nice action moments. I love how clever some puzzles are, and that there are more than one solutions for some of them, you really need to use all your gears and your brains to solve all the obstacles. The replay value is also good, as you have many weapons, upgrades and challenges to complete. All in all, it's a fun adventure!

This is an amazing game!

This is an amazing game! A Tomb Raider game from an isometric perspective letting you complete it in coop mode, too! You cannot go wrong with such an approach! You have action, you have puzzles, you have collectibles and you have a very good level design. Some of the collectibles are difficult to obtain so there is replayibility here. Also, some puzzles / challenges are completely different in coop, thus, the game should at least be completed twice (alone and with a friend) for the different experience. For me Guardian of Light was a nice surprise after the many third-person shooter episodes. Interestingly, the idea and the development came from the same team so this really is a thumbs-up!

Game 20 of my backlog

Game 20 of my backlog. It's okay. Definitely better with a partner (and more frustrating in certain sections) but not needed. + Visuals great for it's time (2010); holds up pretty well now (review written in 2017) + Music and sound effects are great! + Interesting puzzles that are far more interesting with a buddy - Story: Awful. Game is aight. Doubt I'll ever play it again though.
