It's like the Indiana Jones movies from the 80's got another installment. A masterpiece of a game that was made with incredible love for the original films. Thanks for bringing back my childhood, Todd Howard and MachineGames!

Went in expecting the worst for a first person exploration sim, was amazingly surprised how well this game feels and functions.

Disclaimer, I have not completed the game. I gave up after being in the Thailand section for a bit.

I thought this being an FPS-game would be a bad decision, but knowing the company behind this has made some really good FPS-games, I thought the game would probably turn out fine. However, this is a bad FPS-game, and the game basically punishes you for using guns as well. Guns you pick up from the ground have very little ammo, and the enemies are bullet sponges. Finding more ammo is practically impossible unless you pick up a new gun off the ground. You also can't even properly ADS so it's hard to even hit enemies that are very close!

You're often times just sneaking around in open world settings, trying not to get spotted in areas crawling with dumb AI enemies. You have to either sneak up behind an enemy and hit them in the back of their head, which isn't even a guaranteed one hit knock-out, or shoot someone and risk 30+ enemies pile up on you, which will happen in the more enemy rich areas (yes I know about disguises, but this is for when there are no disguises).
Enemies are tanks and you can barely last two shots from any gun (on normal difficulty settings).
You also can't bring rifles or two handed weapons with you when climbing up or down ladders, AND THE WEAPONS BREAK AFTER A FEW HITS TO ENEMIES?!

On top of it being a bad FPS-game, you also feel heavy and slow. How your character handles would fit better in a third person adventure game.

I am a big fan of adventure games and movies. Lara Croft, Uncharted, Indiana Jones, National Treasure.. those sorts of media, but this game... I just can't bring myself to continue playing it. It probably would have been better if it was more linear, but the sneaking around dozens of enemies in broad daylight, in an open world, feels like so lazy game design.

The cutscenes are fun though, the gameplay definitely is not.
