A phenomenal action adventure, I did not expect this to be an immersive sim! There's just a sense of love poured into every nook and cranny and the journey from start to finish is not only breathtakingly beautiful, it's like playing through an Indiana Jones movie. I would describe it as an open world Hitman / Dishonored mix with a focus on melee combat, but really it's an Indiana Jones simulator and it works really well! You'll spend plenty of time puzzling, discovering and sneaking around many exotic locales.

The story is great, with a great focus on the tone set by the movies - really awesome performances from the entire cast. The puzzles are complex enough to make you really think. The first person perspective really works together with the melee combat focus - although I would have loved to find more Adventure Books in the start of the journey, as it gets really hectic later down the line, especially with the fight clubs scattered about - and all the cool moves are in books you get like 10 hours after the hard bits.

The amount of detail in the visuals is surreal. I wore down my screenshot key about halfway through. It must have been such an undertaking to make all these unique artifacts, murals and props. It's such a flex to go from a museum to the Sistine Chapel all the way to the pyramids and have it all be so consistently detailed. Wish it had a photo mode.

I was expecting a letdown from the story's finale after setting such a strong sequence from all the setpieces and buildup, but instead I was really pleasantly surprised by how much of a complete package this all was. After chasing across the world for artifacts, you get to fistfight Voss (who knows karate) atop the Noah's Ark! It was surreal, and the entire adventure was such a thrill.

If I had to deck some points, it'd be Sukhothai, the third major zone of the game. The riverboat just isn't fun to steer and all the collectibles are a tedious grind compared to Gizeh and Vatican City. I also encountered several sequence-breaking bugs, one of them fixed (cat quest in the Vatican) and another one still unable to complete (side mission in Sukhothai, unable to return a statue to the mission giver). But that's a given with just how much content is crammed in here, and will hopefully get fixed down the line.

What a lovely journey, and a complete surprise. I've been a lifelong Indiana Jones fan and this game is all I've dreamed about since I was a kid. Who'd have thought?
