Not great by todays (or 1990s) standards
It’s not a terrible game, I’m being generous because I recall it from childhood, but there are too many clunky puzzles/things (many right at the start of the game) which ruin it for me: - The pointless mazes which just pad the game out. - Large environments with absolutely nothing/no one to interact with meaningfully. - A very obscure item puzzles based on a pixel hunting (even where there is some logic to it, items are just too hard to find amongst the junk and dark backgrounds). - The interface is a product of its time (like Maniac Mansion, having to select ‘what is’ and hover around the environment before items you can examine/interact with show up, then selecting the ‘open’ or ‘look’ commands and re-click on the item, or you can blindly click around in order for item names to show up when you hit them. I was born into that era but it still gets old fast). - The fighting system isn’t good, fair play for trying something new (especially with the possibility to work around some encounters), but just not a good fit for a point and click, hence why it’s not been done much since. As many others have said, I’d suggest people wanting their Indiana Jones point and click fix go for the Fate of Atlantis over this game (despite its flaws), it still has retro appeal but a more modern interface and provides a new story and not a shaky re-treading of a familiar movie. In fact, once you’ve played this, you can understand and forgive a lot of the issues with Atlantis as you can see what a leap forward it was. Maybe in another dimension there’s a third and even more refined Indiana Jones point and click game out there.
