The greatest, most perfect game
Tue May 17 2022 mariecandy55454Not that I'm looking for any, but honestly every game has some negatives even if they are minor. But in this one, I really cannot find a one. It's challenging, and gets difficult but not impossible. But even if you can't figure a level out, the game has that covered too. It's like a board game but with what looks like a real tiny person(thank you, by the way, for making it a women). On top of that it is so realistic that I almost cringe when she gets bitten or caught by the snakes". But my favorite is when she climbs using a handstand, or when she has to move a lever on the side of the wall with her leg.
This is truly the greatest game I've ever played on any iPad. Besides that this is the ONLY game in which I do not find the music irritating. In fact, I ALWAYS turn all game music off; except for this one. Now make more levels, bring more similar games, just don't give up on your fans guys. You're doing a fantastic job. CONTINUE PLEASE. I LOVE THIS GAME.
Thank you, pure genius this is, truly.
Amazing Puzzle Game, Wonky Controls
Thu Nov 16 2017 Needs a non lag updateThe puzzles are amazing! Some are hard and some are not so bad! Don’t get me wrong, the game is fun and it still deserves 5 stars. My only problem is with it it the controls. First of all, I love how there are no on screen controls so none of your content is covered. My only problem is how the controls function. The controls revolve around swiping the move left right forwards or backwards. That sounds like a good concept, but that’s where the problem lays. When you swipe, you only move a set distance. So when you move in a straight line you find yourself constantly swiping in the same direction. This type of control makes the walking motion look very unsmooth. Overall, I definitely recommend the game because the puzzles are very fun and some are challenging. Props to the creators I just wish the controls were different.
This is the way you make a puzzle game
Thu Jan 03 2019 Dyler_TurdenComing from the original game, playing the “GO” version will obviously not get you what you expected. There’s a bunch of reviews expressing dissatisfaction because of this.
These are puzzle games; they take a certain combination of thought processes spanning both right and left brain.
Addictive isn’t quite the word; for something to be addictive it requires that you must have more and more of it for the same effect, and produces an undesirable effect in ones life. MtG cardboard crack is addictive. This game is more of a tool for your brain like a composer is to an orchestra.
Using one mode of thought to search for hidden objects, another to put the logic together building your path and yet another to find a creative solution, your brain is effectively exercised along the way and reward centers of your brain light up - a dopamine hit I haven’t gotten in years.
But there aren’t the drawbacks here as with the original Tomb Raider; where poor timing on a tedious task, failed for the thousandth time sent a PS one controller flying across the room in frustration.
A wonderful game with a game breaking bug.
Tue Oct 31 2023 HeckhoundboltLara Croft Go is a game I have played through to completion twice over the years. It is a lovely puzzle game with enjoyable puzzles, lovely graphics, and an enjoyable amount of story for a puzzle game that could have easily gotten away with none. However, in a recent update, the fifth level of the fire caves DLC has made the entire book unbeatable. If you kill the fire lizard, the game crashes. Because you must kill the lizard to beat the puzzle, the book is unbeatable. It is a shame that such a well crafted game that did not have this issue years ago now has this issue. Once this issue is resolved, I can full heartedly recommend this game, but until then, I cannot.
Makes turn-based puzzles exciting!
Mon Jun 01 2020 MoeKowbelTurn-based puzzles means there’s never any urgency, yet the great graphics and sound make the dangers Lara Croft faces somehow seem more immediate. Puzzles range from simple to fiendishly complex but are all eventually solvable. Gems hidden in the background of levels provide decent replay value, as you’re bound to miss some the first time through when focused on puzzle solving. By the time you go back to collect them all, you’ll be surprised how difficult it can be to remember the convoluted solution to trickier puzzles. An engrossing game well worth the price (and much more entertaining than Hitman Go or Deus X Go from the same developer, IMO).
Great game, except the level that crashes every time
Thu Jan 04 2024 MacCluanaidhThis is generally a 5-star game. But level 5 of the first adventure crashes every time when I shoot or spear the lizard, both on iPad and iPhone (and I know another person who also has it crash on both devices). Also, on my iPad at least, sometimes in the main game it launches to a screen with cryptic controls in the bottom corners (labeled A and B) - tapping anywhere on the screen causes it to crash, and relaunching only brings back the same screen and crash - the only way to get running again is to restart the iPad. At least after the restart I can play on, and (with these annoying restarts) I could play through the main game and the some of the first adventure - I hope that it gets fixed soon and I can re-rate it to 5 stars!
Exceptional & Therapeutic
Sat Sep 23 2023 ANTHOULAlaaI have always been a long time Tomb Raider fan, having played every game available on PC and PS. And I have to say this puzzle game is so well designed and really hits that Tomb Raider fix I crave!! The sound effects really tap into ASMR, the music is so calming and serene, the graphics emulate the traditional PC Lara Croft, but are clearer and more 3 dimensional. I also love the depth it provides with a foreground and background. A could go on and on! 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a game to pass the time, that challenges your mind but doesn’t require you to memorize a lot of actions. It’s a plus if you love Lara Croft too.

Sat Nov 25 2017 Peter haha mhmmAs someone who typically hates mobile games, it’s awesome to see games like this start to make a name for mobile games. I know it’s been out for a while and others from the GO series have also been released but man better late than never. Plays great and looks stunning on both my iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro, especially on the iPad Pro. I’m just blown away and it’s only 99 cents. My only gripe, nit pick, is that when you go fast the animations aren’t fluid, the characters just skip around in an unnatural way which breaks the immersion a bit. I look forward to more games from the Tomb Raider GO series. 5/5
Lara Croft Go: The Most Beautiful and Challenging Game; Best of the Go Trilogy
Mon Nov 06 2017 Atlcp2006Lara Croft Go is a fabulous game of challenging puzzles and the graphics are breathtaking. As far as I know people like the more violent games in Square Enix like Deus Ex, Hitman, or Final Fantasy (never played it), but read this there is a community who wants a challenging game without any violence. I'm so inspired by this game I'm even making my own Lara Croft game (not digitally). I would prefer more monthly or weekly updates, but it is ok if you are really busy making other games. Please make another challenge. No matter what you name it or how you play it, it is going to be fabulous. Square Enix! Go!
Paywall for Hints
Tue Mar 29 2022 swimmer_noelThis game really captures the beauty of iPhone games. It’s a beautiful game, and it’s a great game for quick play if you only have a couple minutes to squeeze in a level as I do, which is what mobile games were always meant to be: quick, easy entertainment.
My only issue is that there’s a paywall in front of the hints. Some of the puzzles are challenging, but instead of only allowing a limited amount of hints per puzzle, the game requires you to pay $2.99 to receive “walkthroughs for all levels.” I don’t want the hint to tell me exactly what to do, I just want a gentle nudge in the right direction when I’m lost.
Otherwise, great game!
