I've finished my replay of "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis"!

How devious of me...

After playing through both the Wits and the Fists path in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, I reloaded my game to the point where you choose your path, and continued on the Team Path. This time, Sophia tags along for the ride, though it once again takes us through the same locations, although the experience is a bit different. It feels like it combines elements from the two other paths a bit, while still adding some new things as well.

Around Algiers in 80 days...

I often wondered what a movie adaptation or novelization would be like, how it would combine elements from all three paths, especially when it comes to Sophia since she always shows up somewhere. There actually is a novelization out there, a fanmade project you can read for free. But I own a whole bunch of Indy books and I would very much like to add a physical copy of a genuine "Fate of Atlantis" book.

I imagine the real world location to be a kind of theme park now...

After dealing once again with Trottier and Al-Jabbar, the adventure takes us back to Crete. While most of this path you keep doing things on your own as Indy, I'm glad there are several instances where you actually need Sophia to continue. Of course that's what the Team Path is about. I'm guessing it was a tough balancing act, though. Naturally gamers want to play as Indy as much as possible, but you need to make sure Sophia is essential as well.

Up, up, and away!

As I reached Atlantis, this time I continued playing and searched the second maze in this game. I didn't realize it before, but now they remind me of the mazes in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: the catacombs in Venice, the castle and the zeppelin. Thankfully the mazes in Atlantis are far more forgivable and put more focus on exploration instead of trial and error surival.

A game of hide and seek...

I like how the rooms in Atlantis are randomized each playthrough, except for the dungeon of course. This is where your actions also define which ending you get; I didn't try them out for my playthrough, but if my memory serves me correctly, I think there are three of them.

Be careful what you say, now...

I finished this playthrough of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis in rougly 4,5 hours - playing through all three Paths, of course, and remembering most of the puzzles. It's still quite a fun game which I think really captures the essence of an Indy story without making it too much into an action game. It also reminds me that I still need to finish Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on the PS5... Hopefully in the new year!

The End!

My next playthrough will be a game released in 2025 but I didn't get around to yet; there are still a couple of those I want to finish before we're bombarded with loads of amazing new releases again. I think I'll finally go looking for a bunch of long-lost relatives in a particular family...
