Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, développé et co-publié par Crystal Dynamics avec Square Enix, est sorti le 8 décembre 2014 sur PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One et Google Stadia. Suite de Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, ce spin-off de la série principale de Tomb Raider propose pour la première fois une campagne coopérative pouvant accueillir jusqu'à quatre joueurs, contre deux dans le précédent opus, et utilise une perspective en hauteur similaire à son prédécesseur. Les participants incarnent Lara, le chasseur de trésors rival Carter Bell ainsi que les dieux emprisonnés Horus et Isis, et doivent unir leurs efforts dans un environnement de plateforme pour explorer le temple égyptien, affronter les hordes de l'au-delà, résoudre des énigmes et éviter des pièges afin de vaincre le dieu maléfique Set et retrouver les fragments d'Osiris. Les niveaux s'adaptent d'ailleurs pour favoriser les actions coopératives. Classé parmi les genres tir, aventure et réflexion, le titre affiche un temps de parcours de cinq heures pour l'histoire principale et de treize heures et demie pour une approche complétiste, tournant sur le Crystal Engine et tarifé à 19,99 euros. La presse a salué l'expérience, Gamestyle évoquant « The best of Lara, whether played on your own, or shared with others », tandis que Games Master UK relevait des « Cunning puzzles and varied boss fights » ; certains joueurs regrettent toutefois une perte d'intérêt en solo, notant sur Metacritic que le jeu est « claramente pensado para jugarlo con amigos, solo pierde mucho en la experiencia de juego », d'autres le jugeant simplement « alright » ou « agréablement surpris » par ses graphismes. Le jeu cumule un score de 73 sur Metacritic et OpenCritic, pour une note agrégée de 72,89.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The best of Lara, whether played on your own, or shared with others. »
« Cunning puzzles and varied boss fights combine to make a thoroughly enjoyable and silly romp. [Jan 2015, p.77] »
« Fast and entertaining co-op action. It's a bit on the short side, though. [Jan 2015] »
« This is the perfect successor to The Guardian of the Light. »
« Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a game for the ultimate co-op experience. With some minor problems, it's a next-gen version of the previous game with a lot of improvements. »
« Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is an enjoyable action-puzzler. It effortlessly presents combat and puzzle encounters to the player, without inundating or starving them of one or the other. Just make sure you bring some friends along for the ride. »
« The camera's a bit awkward and playing in co-op severely reduces the challenge, but other than that this is one fine action/platform game with a couple of unique bossfights and truly imaginative puzzles as the unmistakable highlights. »
« No surprises, no innovations, just the proven gameplay virtues of the predecessor, now for up to four players. But that doesn’t only raise the fun to be had with the mix of action, platforming and puzzles, it also makes it more confusing. »

« One of the first few games i played on the ps4, I believe it was on ps plus or something. It was alright. »
« The game which you can end in 6 hours and have a good time with your friends next to you. »
« Surprisingly great! Very addictive game with cool puzzles, boss fights and impeccable controls. »
« Ce jeu DE MERDE crash A CHAQUE FOIS que je le lance. C'EST DU GROS **** !!! »
« Too short, boring story, nothing more than mediocre. Gameplay is ok. Played the game via PS+ and would rate it even lower if I would have payed for it. »
« System: PS4 What Kind of Adventure? Action-Adventure Was it fun? I wanted to like it but it was poorly made. Are there any similar games? Its like a poorly made Uncharted or Tomb Raider game. Favorite Character? I only played as Lara so I guess her. Would you play it again? No, I tried to like the game but just couldn’t. Any Complaints? I hated the controls, you had to up on the right analog stick to shoot? It was just bad. How many hours did you play it? About 4 hours. »
« You know game has really good concept yeah I agree with it, but game has so bad controls because of it you game leave game after 10 min. It is fun while you playing it with your friends,however when you trying playing it solo , you get so bored after 15 min. Even you say give my money back LARA. Not worth its own price but you can buy it on sale like 50%or more , If you buy this game on these sales, your won't regret about that otherwise you can think about that is this game deserve this price? Tastes are different all upon on you. »
