10. Lara Croft GO
The latest mobile entry in the “Tomb Raider” saga, Lara Croft GO, came out last year on August 27th, and it lived up to the expectations! Once more, players follow the archeologist into new and exciting adventures throughout unseen-before tombs, lands, and dangerous traps. This time, you get to enjoy the game in turn with other online players, and you have to make sure that your version of Lara Croft safely reaches the end of her adventures.
There is a welcome lack of violence, which is replaced with exploration and puzzle-solving that provide “an elegant and beautiful experience” according to reviews. So, it may not be the action-packed Tomb Raider game we are used to, but it does not lack in the mystery and tricky solutions fans of the franchise cherish.
All in all, you can have a great time playing mobile games if you know what game to pick. Choose your favorite characters and fictional worlds and start your own adventures!
