Happened to me, the game is really good. Can’t stop playing, really well executed and fun. Have vibes of old school games.

I couldn’t play much as I was out the whole day. I will have to play more tonight to see more

My biggest gripe though is the gun. I quite fancy a wee shoot out now and again, but it’s almost impossible to do without attracting the attention of lots of enemies. So very pointless thus far - maybe I’ll get to use it later?

I beat the game on hard, and I didn't use guns all that much. With isolated groups of about five enemies or so, a little shooting is fine. There were a few times I had the Raiders 'fuck this' response and just shot them because I couldn't be arsed, and partly also because Indy's pistol looks and sounds so good. But in an area with ten adjacent enemies or more, it's risky. I'm glad they didn't do the bullshit stealth thing where every enemy instantly knows where you are the moment you fire a shot, and it's good that staying on the move further throws them off the scent. For 80-90% of the game though I feel the best way to play is via traditional stealth- sneak and get silent kills, and retrieve bodies from open areas.

Back up to 87 on Opencritic and 88/87 on Metacritic. Will it stay there? Who knows.
