That does sound like something I'd enjoy and playing a new AAA game for a month for PC Gamepass price is amazing.  Going to go do that now.

Haha, yeah, that's what it feels like, Henry "Man with hands" Jones
The combat feels weird.  I had a lot of trouble to begin with it, and still do on occasion, but when I do it right I feel way overpowered.  I keep hitting the wrong buttons, like attacking people with the whip (can be effective if at the right distance though.) Fights are typically over very quickly win or lose.  I put it on Hard, and that seems to be enough for me.  I haven't even used the gun yet.
I also had a thought while playing that it feels like "Tomb Raider: old man edition."
Puzzles haven't been bad, but I left or put it on the easy mode for that.  I don't understand the 5 wounds solution, but with 4 of them solved by blood and Indy's talk I ended up just trying all the combos on the last one.
I'm kind of ambivalent on it so far.  I'm not super interested in playing it, but the fact it's Indy helps. It feels like a nice casual game.
Unfortunately I'm sick and I found a really good book to read which requires much less mental/physical exertion.  I probably should've waited until after I got better to put my money into Gamepass, but it's got a special right now anyway, only $12 for the month.
