[h1] TLDR: 6.5/10 [/h1]
As puzzle games go this is a neat set up with a nice increase in difficulty. Each new mechanic is set up nicely to help you get used to it before being added into more complex puzzles. There are lots of auto save points as well so you don't loose progress when you inevitably mess up. Personally the final levels were too hard for me, as they involved a mirror mechanic, but fear not! There is a hint mechanic which draws out the correct path that has no negative impact on your gameplay or achievement collection. As a turn-based puzzle game there is also no time-pressure or need for fast reactions. Everything moves according to it's set logic rules after you have, so there's no pressure to think fast. You can take your time to work out solutions.
This game works really well with a mouse, I couldn't tell it was a mobile port, but it may not work as well for controllers. There is no dialogue or text at all, and as such pretty much no story or plot, this is just puzzles and vibes.
[b] Buy if: [/b]
- You like a good puzzle game.
- You like to 100% games, as this is a pretty nice short game to do it with.
- It's in the big Lara croft franchise bundle.
[b] Don't buy if: [/b]
- You're expecting a story or plot. This is not that type of game.
- You don't like puzzle games. What can I say it's a turn-based puzzle game, it does what it says on the tin.

hitman go (one of my favorite puzzlers and puzzle types) but worse. still as lazy a mobile port as it gets, but instead of fun challenges, there are hidden objects to find for useless cosmetics, and not only are there essentially timed levels (killed enemies come back after a few turns, can't dilly-dally), a bunch of levels employ one of my least favorite puzzle mechanics, moving multiple mirrored characters at the same time.
