Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

[Reynard]

I could not find an existing thread, so:

My schedule has finally relaxed for the holidays, so I decided to get GamePass again just to play this game. I am so happy that it is getting good reviews.

Is anyone else playing it or has already finished it? What are your thoughts? Any pointers?

Please spoiler tag and actual spoilers, thanks!

I just finished downloading it overnight last night. Going to give it a play through the weekend.

I started playing it a day ago, I'm currently in the Vatican. I'm enjoying it so far.

Finally to start. I must say

Spoiler

using the opening of Raiders as the tutorial

was inspired.

Well, I played it a little while on Friday and Saturday. Got up to partway through the Vatican mission (I just rode my first zipline), but did not really find it compelling.

The level design is nice, giving you plenty of options, and visually it's fine, but game-mechanically it just feels very mid, nothing inspired design-wise and it feels clunky in places, maybe because I'm playing keyboard-and-mouse rather than with a controller.

I got it on Gamepass, and with a free subscription that came with my PC, so I'm not exactly invested in it. I went back to playing XCOM for the rest of the weekend, and haven't felt drawn back to try Indy again since.

You feel how you feel, but it is definitely designed to be played with a controller.
