Excellent writing, fun combat environments, an interesting crafting system for those so inclined, and considering my playtime and I still have maybe 25% of the game to go, you definitely get your money's worth here. There's not much padding in terms of sidequests either - this game is nothing but the goods in every way.

Strong recommendation for anyone who loves the time period, XCOM-style games, or role-playing games.

I've played well over a dozen titles under the various Choice of Games banners, and aside from the incredible Tin Star this is the best of the lot. The rails are a little visible, but they're there for a good reason and you're still given a number of ways to solve various problems, all of which make sense based on your character build. The game is quite well-designed in that regard. It tests both your ability to make use of your character's strengths as well as your (the player's) ability to remember details at points.

Unlike another review or two here I do not believe the game was overly heavy-handed with the insertion of modern topics into the setting. With maybe one or two small and not-especially-distracting exceptions, everything makes sense with the presented setting and overall Indiana Jones vibe. Furthermore, it's not like you're especially railroaded into RPing an exact level of wokeness beyond "nazis/racists bad", which, well, they are.

Special shoutout to Act 4, which is some of the most exhilarating gameplay in one of these I've experienced in a long time.

(At time of review I have done one full playthrough. This number will almost assuredly increase.)
