It and Last Crusade are maybe not Lucas Arts at their peak, but itâs certainly at their best.
I know an artist who worked on this game. He was hired with a group of other people during a mandated seven day work week period, and the new hires were all let go a week before their probation ended

Why do they call these things launch trailers when the game is still a week away?

After a couple months wait, they patched the game breaking bug that wasnât preventing me getting into the endgame.
Itâs the best one of these since Fate of Atlantis, but considering the track record post, that in itself is not surprising. Itâs a Starbreeze game, it was always going to be solid one way or another.
The writing is good enough, albeit not as engaging as their Wolfenstein series, and Indyâs characterisation leans more on his Last Crusade affability than it does him being a bastard like Raiders, let alone Temple of Doom. The brawling is good too, but not as interesting or dynamic as their Riddick games. Ultimately, itâs got a clever enough interquel story and a fun cast of characters, its checklist of collectibles and character upgrades are present and about as unobtrusive as these things can be in the modern design era, and the puzzles work pretty well for something that is fundamentally an action game framework. Its most developed of its three hubs is it initial one where youâre wandering around the Vatican, unfortunately, its followed with a desert and jungle which donât really have much to latch onto.
Iâll take it, but man, we should have had so many more point ânâ click adventures out of this guy.

I hate it every time they can get these two on camera together. Was he even in the game?
Lol i donât think so
Been a long time since I played Atlantis but I always wanted an Indy point 'n click that looked like Full Throttle and you solved puzzles the brawns way, like in Full Throttle.

The cancelled Iron Phoenix looked very much like it was going to be in a similar art style.
I forgot that Atlantis teased a young Indy point ânâ click game.
This later got adapted into a Dark Horse comic, which gives further insight into the kind of globe-trotting story we could have had but like much of the rest of these expanded comic stories, doesnât have much else going for it.
One of them was a direct sequel to the Last Crusade and astonishingly has Henry and Indy never leaving Ireland and the United Kingdom on their hunt for Spear of Destiny. One of the last ones to come out at the tail end of the 2000s veered into Lovecraft, naturally. Honestly the best ones of the bunch are the short-lived Indiana Jones Adventure series, which were more in line with a post-Batman: The Animated Series kind of Saturday morning cartoon vibe, where Belloq shows up as a recurring villain and every adventure moment is followed by a trademark Indy shit-eating grin, like when he breaks into the British Museum.
