I preordered Indiana Jones (PS5). Here's hoping it's good.


I've heard from multiple trusted sources that this game is the best Indiana Jones release, movie or otherwise, since The Last Crusade. I feel like people are quick to call even mediocre entertainment amazing in the current media climate we live in. This makes me a little hesitant to play it, at least at full price, but it is a modern game on my radar, at least for now.

The flaws that came up often were the gameplay and the fact that there are collectibles but apart from that, I also read that it was a good adaptation.
I don't know if you're a subscriber, but you can always try it on Game Pass if you don't want to pay the full price.

I'm not, but I'll likely pick it up on PS5 when its goes on sale at some point. I'm very curious about this game.

I give myself one $70 game per year and being a lifelong favorite IP, Indy took it for 2025.

Last year was FF7 Rebirth and the year before that was Zelda TotK.

I'll give a review after I complete it for those curious.

Loving building PS3 library on a budget. If PS3 sees an infpux in desire from nostalgia or economy. Ill be ahead of that curve.

I got indiana jones today as an early birthday gift to myself :)   Hoping you're liking it because these modern game prices and file sizes are a killer lol. 


The idea of first person uncharted was too good to wait for a sale. I fell in love with the trailer.  Give me something to do on easter. Happy gaming.

The idea of first person Uncharted was something I was against. I much prefer third person games and it's a rarity when first person is done in a way I enjoy. This is primarily due to the influx of first person games during the PS3 generation. It became the go to, saturating the market and a lot of it was just... horrible.

There are exceptions to every rule, though. I loved the Battlefield games from the 2nd on PS2 through the two Bad Company games on PS3. Chronicles of Riddick was done incredibly well. Now... I'm adding Indiana Jones to the list of first person exceptions. It's done well and the back and forth between first and third person (depending on the action) is not jarring, as I expected it would be.

It's so good, so far, that I'm 7 hours in. For me to be 7 hours in after only 3 days is insane. I'm normally not 7 hours into a game after 10 days. Kudos to the develeper and thank you to Microsoft for deciding to bring this to PS5. This title alone, they've out performed Sony on Playstation for the generation.

Also... kudos to Troy Baker. I fully doubted the man could pull off Harrison Ford's voice, but he's pretty damn close.

This got me excited to play! Happy to hear the high praise. Glad you're enjoying it. Mine came this morning. The graphics look absolutely stunning which I know has become standard for this gen but it does feel a grade above others in the genre.  Also a big step for bethesda that had a few misses recently.  I only grazed it. Im excited to see how first person on a puzzle platformer feels.

The install size is absolutely insane for a single player game but I have a 1tb internal SSD so I can accommodate.


I have similar sentiment about fps. I think duke nukem forever was a capital war crime lol.

Happy easter gaming!
