But now she moved on a series of set paths, each level a kind of circuit board to be navigated. It looked like a handsome low-poly take on the Tomb Raider universe, jungles and caves and temples, and Lara looked a bit like her triple-a video game self and could even do that special handstand move when mantling. But it no longer looked like a board game. Again, it took a complex thing and retooled it as a pure puzzler. The pieces looked like pieces from a physical board game. It was a spatial puzzler in which you had to work your way through levels, killing without being killed, understanding the rules and fitting inside them. Hitman Go looked a bit like a kind of Hitman Subbuteo. I want to talk about Lara Croft Go because it's wonderful.Ī while back Square-Enix started reworking some of its big budget games as these Go titles for mobiles. Yet it's also clearly a cheaper outing for a blockbuster series. It has a gimmick, but it also has a kind of Triple-A poise to it. Is Lara Croft Go a Double-A game? It's probably bending the concept a bit to say yes. But sometimes it's nice to stretch the meaning of Double-A just a little. We love these games, whole-heartedly and without irony. Psionic powers, or a big hammer, or doves. The kind of game where a shaven-headed character takes on generic baddies, armed with a gimmick of some kind.
