While it occasionally faces traversal hiccups, it remains a thrilling action-packed experience.
And you know what?
Sure, the gameplay isnt without its bumps.
Some edges are a bit rough, but the games heart is in the right place.
I tried adjusting my tweaks to fix it, but no matter what, it didnt improve much.
The full game has been ported over to PlayStation with all the adventure, excitement and whip-cracking brawls intact.
However, I have to admit, it works here.
From the very beginning, you’re plunged into the heart of the adventure without a wasted second.
One of the best parts of the game though is the iconic whip.
It’s been fully integrated into the experience.
That said, climbing and navigating through some areas can feel clunky.
Indy isnt exactly the most graceful when scaling walls or dropping off ledges.
Theres this one scene where you have to sneak through a restricted area in Vatican City.
I plummeted straight to the ground and got spotted by the enemies (so much for being stealthy).
Aside from the awkward climbing and swinging, the game nails the little things.
Like turning keys in door locks or manipulating your map.
Yes, these are minor mechanics, but they make you feel more connected to the world.
You also acquire a camera and a diary to log your quests like a real adventurer.
The only other hiccup I encountered, aside from the dodgy climbing mechanics, was with the inventory menu.
Im pretty picky when it comes to switching between items.
I like it to be fast and easy to access.
Needless to say, that didnt help my stress levels during a fight.
Its an entertaining combat system I havent experienced before.
But you dont just have to use your fists.
you might pick up random objects scattered around the map to stealthily take out an enemy instead.
Candles, baseball bats, saucepans, bells… yes really.
you’re free to even flip your gun around and use it as a melee weapon.
Its a great way to play sneakily, especially if you prefer to avoid direct confrontation.
Personally, playing the game in stealth mode is no fun.
Going straight in with those punches is a must.
Theyve captured the essence of the beloved franchise in ways that make the whole adventure feel authentic.
