Is it possible to buy this in Windows 10? I keep checking the store and can never find it.
Link is in the OP. Should open up the store when you browse to it also

Thanks, but it won't let me buy it. Just gives an error message and logs me out every time. Sigh, I wish this was just on Steam.
Can you only move one space at a time?
Finished it. Got all the unlockables too. My impression is that compared to Hitman GO, this is far easier, and feels more compact. Part of the reason is that Hitman had a bunch of optional challenges which required actual replaying of stages with different techniques, while here the only replay required it just to find hidden treasures in the backgrounds you have missed, before exiting back to the menu. Another reason would be that I think Hitman had a lot more filler stages leading up to the assassinations, some of which were much more simplistic than others. The presentation and overall pacing of Lara Croft GO is much better, but it does feel that it lacks that extra punch for more hardcore puzzle fans. Hopefully there'll be challenge rooms or something later on.
The graphics are top notch for what it's going for, and the level design and "boss" planning for the final stretch was really well thought out. What I like most about the GO games is that they really capture the tone and feel of the respective franchises in turn based puzzle form. It was a great decision to make Hitman feel like a board game with static pieces, while Tomb Raider is more animated and feels like an actual mini-adventure.
Looking forwatd to Deus Ex GO next year.![]()
Wait, it is on Windows Phone? I was bummed because I thought it was just iOS and Android and I couldn't play it.
This was an impulse buy for me as I had some money left on my Paypal anyway, but I'm really enjoying my time with this. Played a bit in bed yesterday, and an hour or two on the train today. Seems like I'm getting close to the end though, I'm about halfway through the second to last world. Feels a bit short, but I can't complain with that price.
Have they confirmed anything about them adding more puzzles later?
Edit: Hah, decided to Google a bit to see if I could find the answer myself, and found this youtube interview with the Brand Manager. At one point she's talking about the success of Hitman Go and says (with a French accent) 'You know, when we announced it, on NeoGaf for example, people were like: "We didn't ask for this"...).
She's rubbing her () success in our faces guys.well-deserved

This is such a fantastic game. My favourite puzzle game in a while, and I play quite a few.
I didn't like Hitman Go. At all. I hate the art. The stone throwing is weird. And the pillar-dancing forced movement step felt much worse in this than with the non-human creatures in Lara Craft Go.
It wasn't because it was hard that I didn't want to continue, but rather that the behaviour of the people seemed so bizarre.I admit I found Hitman Go pretty hard. some of those puzzles really stumped me and killed my momentum.
omg do they read GAF? that's cool
Anyway I got this yesterday and it's been really fun. I even caved in and bought the costume pack. When's Lara Croft GO 2
Cough Deus Ex GO CoughHaaa.
We do read GAF. We love you guys.
(Also I'm not a fan of doing interviews - the GameReactor dudes were awesome but being on camera is definitely not my thing!)
I agree with the latter part, but how can a game in which every piece of the puzzle is a known quantity be considered trial and error?Yeah, I like Hitman Go but I can never bring myself to play more than one or two levels in a single session since it seems to be mostly trial and error. I especially dislike the objectives which require you to move back and forth between the same two spaces multiple times to just get the NPCs to line up in just the right way.
Where?You should grab Hitman GO while you're at it. It's only a buck now!
Day 1.Cough Deus Ex GO Cough![]()
