The combat had just “clicked” for me and now I’m loving the game even more.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yep, the fist fighting seems very floaty at first but once you get a hang of it, it's pretty damn satisfying.

And when you have the right books too. The sounds are very satisfying.

I'm loving this game! My dad is a BIIIG Indy fan, so I'm recording it. Gonna chop down most of the transversal and unnecessary fights and upload it to youtube for him to watch, as he's not a gamer so he'll never play it. I think he'll really appreciate it. I have 170gb of footage so far, and I just got to Gizeh, so this is gonna be a big one.
Oh and before I knew it was Troy Baker, I really thought they did some AI stuff with Harrison Ford for the VA. It's that good!

Yes ... fucking finally !!
Looks like it's possible to 'glitch' the Archivist achievement to trigger if someone is stuck in the same spot I was before.
Just go to any of the story puzzles in that region of the world and take a picture of the puzzle for "hint", it seems to count.
Weird, I know, but it worked for me.

I'm so easily amused. I love to mess around and break games when they have stealth elements lol I'm still super early in the game right now, and the Vatican just opened up for me, and I just can't help myself trying to kite as many enemies silently and stacking the bodies up in a stairway 
I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be in combat this section

Finished it a few days ago. Basically mainlined the story without doing any side missions. Took around 16-18 hours to complete. Loved every second of it!
Finishing Star Wars Outlaws before this then Indy, well my childhood self was VERY satisfied! I had Outlaws as my potential game of the year but this tops it! Great gameplay. Fantastic story. Honestly felt like I was in the 1930’s on an Indiana Jones adventure! Loved it so much!
Just a quick question- when choosing settings on my PC for this game (I have a 4070 ti super) how do I get the vram amounts to show up so I know what amount each graphics setting is using? Especially when it comes to ray tracing I’d like to know how much vram I’m using before it approaches the 16 gig limit.

I started playing the game yesterday and have to admit its a genius idea to have the opening scene from the raiders of the last arc as the tutorial
Also dlss is an insane technology how i am getting 75-90 fps with high to ultra settings on a laptop rtx4060 gpu and it looks gorgeous? How?

Can you help me out with the medicine bottles? You need a total of 56 (2x[3+10+15]) for all 6 skill books from the doctors, but there are only 55 (15+25+15) bottles. I collected them all but im short of one. What am i missing?Yes ... fucking finally !!

We all like what we like, which is why aggregates exist I guess.
But anybody with half a brain that has played can easily appreciate in no way is it a 4.5/10 game. That kind of score is reserved for pure turds!

Game is great. Why does it show as 13 hours to beat the main story on GamePass. It makes it seem like a relatively quick romp. I mean I guess you could rush it, but I am doing maybe 55% of each region and it took a ton of time to get to the jungle level. If you do every mystery and find all items this thing will take a long time. Its not a small game.
My only complaint/nit, is that you need to be too close to the edge for some of the whip RB prompts to show up. It just breaks immersion knowing how many are just barely in reach.

13 hours is just rushing through the main story and ignoring all of the field work quests in each area. I did it with all of the field work completed at 18.5 hours.

There should be enough for all the medical books.
Find the maps in each region that show the locations of the medical bottles, they will pinpoint their exact locations per map.

Started it two days ago, very nice impression from 2 hours in Xbox, looks very clean and runs smoothly, coming from Stalker 2 it's very refreshing.
From the little i played i like it, reminds me a bit of Dishonored without powers, I'm constantly replacing melee weapons, very fun so far.
I don't like that you can't save manually, some of those auto saves can be from 20 minutes ago, and i can't always keep playing and need to find what triggers the auto save, at least it would be nice to have a save upon existing the game.

I did, but as i said its just 55 in the 3 open world locations and i need 56. I just don't get it.There should be enough for all the medical books.

They released a quite big patch very recently considerably improving lighting in the game. I could have sworn the black levels were raised in the game (shadowed areas were a tad too bright). It sucks as one of the best levels so far in terms of dramatic lighting was the Museum at night 
. Almost considering restarting the game… might do another playthrough in cinematic mode instead of 16:9 which is how I am playing now.
I did find something very sad about the current environment devs are working under at the moment:
Displayed when you start the game :/… sigh… as if we needed to say that the game where you are fighting the Nazi is not glorifying them not trivialising crimes against humanity sigh…

32 hours with just a few collectibles missing. I think I did the story + field work + most of mysteries in about the same time as you.

The entire female cast is SMOKING. Despite the "old before our time" 1930's vibe they added for the ladies, they did a good job adequately translating the VO actresses to ingame models. Machine Gun Games understood the assignment.....

Yeah I don't know why anyone would think that's 'precise animations' lol.
You can see Indy's shadow doing a goofy run if you sprint. I don't think this is calibrated completely for a third person view.

Can you skip the dumb action sequences? I ask because my wife and I played through the classic point-and-click games and love to co-play puzzle-based adventures, but if she has to sit through long pointless action sequences tacked on, it will not work so well.
I generally prefer puzzle adventures games to stick to their core idea and forget about action; halfway is bad, either go full Doom 2016 or go with intelligent puzzles, but don't have me work out a puzzle just to follow it with awkwardly punching for thirty minutes.

There aren't very many action scenes, its mostly whether or not you want to stealth around guards or just take them out. There are some arena boss battles but even they are more "puzzle out how to defeat them" than just button mashing/timing combo stuff. You can skip the prizefighter stuff completely. There is a fair amount of platforming, whip swinging type stuff though, depends on you if you include that into combat or puzzle solving.

Finally booted this up last night. Ended up playing until 2am. Now I'm up and don't want to work.
Game is really hooking me in. I usually hate random collectables, but everything I've picked up seems interesting in some way or leads to some side quest or some skill-up option. The enemy AI is terrible, but in a way I don't mind it. It seems to fit with that 80s movie vibe where all the enemies are dumb.
The story and writing is just so good. The Vatican is so well built. I'm having a blast so far.

Same situation hahaha. Yesterday I finished at 2 in the morning after a 6 hour gaming session. Since my late 20s I haven't had such a long gaming session... Being a fan of Indiana Jones, that the game exceptionally recreates the franchise, that the game has a 10/10 structure and management surely has something to do with it
Then, in reviews they said that the game was ~15 hours and I have only been in the Vatican for 10 hours and I think there is more left and things that I will leave out... IJ the Great Circle was definitely more than just a Goty candidate.

Found all murals in Vatican without map/guide.
Now a few hours in Giza, I think they did a good job with exploration, I really don’t need a map. Already found 3 steles.
Rule of thumb is, wherever there is Nazi action going on, go there and game will automatically guide you to its location.

I started the game today and I think I’ve played like 7 hours in a single day.
I’m not exactly loving the game, mind. I’m definitely not a fan of stealth - after Uncharted, as soon as I see that my character can grab a bottle I groan and sigh loudly. Luckily the enemy AI is pretty dumb on normal difficulty. I still manage to be dumber because I don’t care for first-person fisticuffs and just want to be done with the annoyance that is combat asap. But at least I haven’t run in too many gang assaults so far.
I’m in this mainly for the adventure and the Indy vibes and so far, the game has mostly delivered (I’m just out of the first macro area). The to-and- fro of some sidequests has been annoying and one particular puzzle really tested my patience dragging on for far too long, but the rest has been a solid Dr. Jones experience. The Italian dubs (I’m playing in English) are hilarious at times: some of the main characters speaking Italian clearly aren’t voiced by Italian actors, while the Fascist mobs definitely are. Alessandra Mastronardi’s face rendering and animation is absolutely uncanny, she looks closer to the real-life actress than Indy looks like Ford in most scenes.
Good game so far. Nothing revolutionary and not the most fun I’ve had this year, but it knows how to draw you in and convince you to play those five more minutes that magically turn into hours.

At my point in the game I'm less about stealth and more just an ambush predator

Yeah, imo they really nailed the feel of an Indy movie, the OG trilogy. It’s a fun adventure that in some ways feels like “we have Uncharted at home” (worse combat design, jankier platforming/exploration) but there’s something uniquely Indy to it that still keeps me engaged and wanting more.
I’m also the first to roll my eyes at another Troy Baker video game protagonist but he did such a stellar job here. His delivery is so much like Ford but still keeps it his own in subtle ways.

LMAO wtf is happening.

so... every time Gina walks around with you the game becomes significantly worse doesn't it?
the moment she is with you the game gets way to Naughty Dog/Sony-like, aka. dumbed down and annoying. she doesn't shut her mouth and exploration becomes annoying with her around.
Sony games like Uncharted, Horizon or God of War reboot should never be used as an inspiration, they should be used as the textbook example for what to avoid doing.

What time is it?
Finished it and collected everything though I'm missing one item in Iraq because of a bug (certain elements of the game are quite buggy like the map) Also unlocked the mystery door (pro tip, wait until you have all fifty relics on you before doing this as those will not return to you and you'll miss out on an achievement). I'm not sure the secret ending was worth the hassle. The story elements are great but I didn't care for any of the mechanics. I do prefer the linear levels, but that probably has to do with collecting everything which kind of made me hate the maze like layout of the Vatican and all the boat riding in Thailand. I'd still recommend it to Indy fans as you can skip most of the tedium and enjoy the story.
