Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light on the Steam Machine
Can the Steam Machine run Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light?
Not reliably — Valve's SteamOS compatibility check flags Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light as Unsupported, and the Steam Machine runs SteamOS.
Red here means a compatibility problem (often anti-cheat or a launcher), not too little GPU power, so lower settings won't fix it.

Blocked on SteamOS?
Cloud streaming runs the game on remote hardware, so SteamOS compatibility stops mattering — if your service carries it. Try cloud gaming (GeForce NOW / Game Pass).

Analysis — Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light on the Steam Machine
The community disagrees with Valve's flag: 84 ProtonDB reports rate it Silver (runs with minor issues). An Unsupported rating can come down to anti-cheat, a launcher or one mode, so read recent reports for the part you care about.
Steam lists full controller support, so it plays from the sofa without a keyboard. It also has shared/split-screen co-op on Steam's list, which suits a living-room box with a second controller.
