### 3/5 — Good game but….

*2026-06-16*

I bought the game and it plays well, but everytime it gets to a loading screen it gets stuck on that loading screen then I have to shut the game down and start again which starts to get annoying

### 4/5 — Spiel ist super, aber iPhone/iPad werden sehr heiß

*2026-06-12*

iPhone 16 Pro Max und iPad M5 werden beide sehr heiß nach ca. 10Minuten Spielzeit. Vielleicht hilft ein Framelimit (60FPS/120FPS).

### 3/5 — Expensive

*2026-04-04*

Expensive

### 2/5 — Bon graphisme mais…

*2026-02-06*

### 2/5 — Steuerung flop

*2026-01-05*

Graphic und Animation top, leider ist die Steuerung träge und nicht intuitiv, ständig muss man einen Teil wiederholen weil die Steuerung versagt hatte - gelöscht

**Developer response:** Die Steuerung auf dem Bildschirm kann im Spiel angepasst werden. Gehen Sie im Hauptmenü oder Pausenmenü zu Hilfe & Optionen > Steuerung > Anpassen, um alle Schaltflächen auf dem Bildschirm zu konfigurieren.

### 4/5 — The best collaboration tomb raider game ever

*2025-12-16*

It’s so fun to play with friends, and the puzzles are super interesting, the only complaint that I have is that the game needs to be improved for iPhone a bit more, it makes my phone super hot.

### 2/5 — chinese

*2025-11-23, version 1.2.6*

i need chinese。chinese

### 4/5 — Controls flaky

*2025-11-02*

Great game graphically fair play. However, the jump function is very intermittent. There are times it just doesn’t work. Very frustrating. Good effort overall and worth the money

**Developer response:** Thanks for installing Lara Croft: Guardian of Light.

On-screen controls can be adjusted in-game. From the main menu or pause menu, go to Help & Options > Controls > Customise and you can adjust all on-screen buttons.

### 3/5 — Great game

*2025-10-03*

I’m sure this game has been free to play on other streaming platforms its a great shame its not on Apple Arcade

### 4/5 — Très bon mais manque d’optimisation

*2025-08-25*

Le jeu est très bon, surtout à la manette. Malheureusement mon iPhone chauffe beaucoup trop (16 PM) même au bout de 5 minutes. En l’état ce n’est pas jouable.

キャラが小さすぎて目が痛い

### 1/5 — Great graphics, but the menus are horrible

*2025-12-08*

Graphics look great. I’m sure it would look a lot better if there weren’t text and graphics from the UI being super enlarged on the center of the screen and blocking a lot of the view throughout the gameplay.

**Developer response:** Thanks for installing Guardian of Light. 

In-game text is sized to ensure that it is legible on mobile screens.

If you believe the text is too large, please contact us using the 'Contact Support' option, found via 'Support' in the game's Main Menu. Please include a screenshot and a description of the problem and we'll be happy to look into the issue for you.

### 1/5 — Not paying for a game I already bought

*2025-09-05*

Same game.  Not happy that a game can be neglected and outdated then brought back for a fee.

**Developer response:** The older game was developed by Crystal Dynamics, whereas this new Feral Interactive-developed release is a new product and a complete port of the desktop and console version, with comparable visuals and featuring all 14 levels (compared to the original mobile release's 10), along with full gamepad support.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2025-08-15*

### 1/5 — Please fix
