Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
Unlike the AAA, big-budget, blockbuster 'Tomb Raider' franchise that Lara is best known for, the 'Lara Croft' series is smaller in production value and scope. It's not an over-the-shoulder third-person action-adventure with a big expensive engine.

The fact that Temple of Osiris features the classic, confident, adult version of Lara Croft rather than the newfangled, young, vulnerable version should tell you exactly what this game is aiming for: Simple escapism, a video game for gaming's sake.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Review
The real treasure in wasn't Lara's story, bipedal alligator warriors, or a bounty of gems, but solving complex and varied environmental puzzles with friends. Playing alone, discovering the different flavors of each new temple and figuring out the solution to a brain-busting puzzle all by myself is...
Pros:
- Enoyable solo
- Better co-op
- Excellent puzzles
Cons:
- Disappointing loot
- Lightweight story

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a great adventure. With the complex puzzles, enjoyable gameplay, and exquisite world to explore, Crystal Dynamics once again gives Tomb Raider fans an exemplary addition to the acclaimed series.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris review
When the god Osiris was murdered by Set, his body was lopped into pieces and scattered across the land. This was bad news for Osiris, but it was good news for game designers. And look at this: several thousand years later, here's a new Lara Croft adventure in search of a handy structural conceit.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris Review – Who's Down for a 4-Way with Lara
Lara has seen her share of ups and downs over the years but the franchise is clearly on the upswing as the series reboot, "Tomb Raider", was a smash hit when it arrived on last gen consoles back in 2013.

I like to sometimes think of videogames as strange machines. Each one of them built by many engineers and artists compiling and crafting the pieces, gears and sockets. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is one of those games that seems to fit well into that analogy.

Pneuma: Breath Of Life Review
It isn't all that often a game's initial screen is a lesson in how to pronounce its title, but that's what Pneuma does, but even then /' nju:ma / doesn't quite explain it properly. So it pretty much got known as Breath of Life in the Gamestyle offices. Now as for what Pneuma: Breath of Life is.

Scary but good
It has some scary monsters but it is really good, there is also a lot of fighting and guns.

Pneuma: Breath Of Life review – first person god game
Portraying existential quandaries as gameplay puzzles is a daring idea, but ultimately this is a more enjoyable game to watch and listen to than it is to play.
Pros:
- The visuals are gorgeous and despite odd moments of clumsiness the script is often funny
- clever
- and genuinely thought provoking
Cons:
- The gameplay concept underpinning the majority of puzzles just isn't that interesting, and often frustrating to work with
- Very short and too expensive
