    I didn't think plastic surgery existed in the 1930's. That Nazi is recovering from a nose job.

    Good! Rare W for MS Gaming, IMO.

    And if it wasn't coming to PlayStation reviewers would pretend it was a 6/10!

    Xbox had 3 exclusives release too late in the year to be nominated for The Game Awards. But let's be real, they wouldn't be nominated anyway.

    Really looking forward to playing this when I finally get round to downloading all 130gb of it

    Whoa! Happy to see it turned out well after Indy fans had to get through all that pain recently.
    I hope you have a great day

    As a huge fan of the Wolfenstein franchise, I had high hopes for this title, but was also tempering my expectations because, honestly, Microsoft has been a dumpster fire recently. Very happy to see a positive review, and quite surprised to see a 10/10! I know what I’ll be playing over the holidays!

    I was tempering expectations so I'm glad to see the game itself is good and runs excellently on Series X. I would have sprung for the deluxe upgrade if not for Path of Exile 2 but I'm looking forward to playing on the 9th.

    I’m so happy this game is reviewing well. I had all the confidence in the world because I’m a huge fan of MachineGames, but I knew this was a departure so I was curious. I’ve played about two levels so far and it’s been really fun. I’m looking forward to the rest of the journey.

    Who cares about the Game Awards? They nominated Horse Armor this year, despite great original games coming out left and right.

    Great review, thanks! The game's excellent, I share your views. Runs great on Series X and PC, tested both. So happy we finally have a good Indiana Jones game after 1992's The Fate of Atlantis (which I bought day 1 and thoroughly enjoyed).

    With how well-received Troy Baker's performance has been, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills; his Indiana Jones is anything but fault-less though, it's actually rather irritating how hard he tries yet still fails to nail a Harrison Ford impression. They should have cast someone else, that has the same tone and cadence of speech as Ford, but doesn't try to imitate him. It's the exact same problem I had with Troy in Batman Arkham Origins and his failed attempts at channeling Mark Hamill's Joker. Still excited to play the game, it's just such a shame knowing I'm gonna be wincing every time the main character speaks.

    Glad to hear it’s a delight! As a late 70s kid this one’s calling my name. Damn you, Diablo IV!
    Go Dawgs! Let’s go for 3 in ‘23!

    Anybody seen some gameplay footage? I watched a couple of videos and it looks like a lot of fun but the enemy AI is ridiculous. I hope they patch that soon.

    Anyone know if this will be coming to Game Pass Standard subscription?

    I was going to say something similar, TGA exists purely as a way for Geoff Keighley to shoehorn himself into the public world of gaming, it's an ego trip for him. Plus, the awards themselves are meaningless since they're spread so thin amongst the adverts it's really like looking for a needle in a haystack. Blink and you'll miss it.
