Is it still worth playing?

Lara and an ancient Mayan warrior named Totec team up to stop the spirit Xolotl, in this 2010 action adventure that carries no Tomb Raider brand. The third person platforming of the series is replaced by a fixed isometric camera and a dual stick shooter, though spherical push blocks and switch puzzles remain. Lara keeps her dual pistols and her grappling hook, and Totec carries spears that can also serve as platforms. Optional challenge rooms reward you with items and weapons, and relics work as equippable perks. The main campaign takes around five hours, every level is timed, and leaderboards track times and high scores. Local co-op is built around a competitive hunt for points, and online co-op was added later. A short campaign made for two still keeps its tombs and traps close at hand.
