I have a huge amount of affection for the Indiana Jones series (excepting Crystal Skull—that was pure trash), but the videogames have always been a bit hit-or-miss. Mostly miss. So, when I heard MachineGames - the folks behind the brilliant Wolfenstein reboot - were taking the reins, I was genuinely excited.
Being on PS5, I had to wait out the Xbox exclusivity window, but I bought it the moment it dropped. After installing a massive 132 GB download from a disc that felt like a glorified keycard, I finally dove in. The awe and wonder of the films were plain to see: the locales are breathtaking, the puzzles are surprisingly deep, and the voice acting is spot on.
I clocked the game in about 20 hours, and below are some of my favorite moments from the journey. Enjoy!
