Was inspired to buy a cheap Steam key for this after the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reveal. Basically an attempt to do a Tomb Raider-style action/adventure in first-person, and not as janky as I had expected going in, but the puzzles just aren’t that interesting or fun to solve; I quit after a particularly tedious one a few levels in involving navigating a maze of floor spikes while shooting small targets.

Plusy: dobry projekt poziomów, niektóre zagadki, pomysł, niezogrsze strzelanie do nazioli
Minusy: tragiczna fabuła, reszta zagadek, koszmarny voice acting, strzelanie do mumii

Deadfall Adventures features James Lee Quatermain, great-grandson of Allan Quatermain, as he hunts down pieces of an artifact around the world and fights with communists, germans and even the undead! Action! Puzzles! Ancient tombs and much more in.... DEADFALL ADVENTURES!!!

Jokes aside, this game is like a late night snack that is in your fridge for quite some time now, you do not know if it is even eatable anymore, you just munch on it for the sake of it.

Farm 51 is a little polish studio, who are known for Necrovision and the Painkiller remake/remaster. Their games are not that great, but usually fun in a really satisfying way, because they know their audiance pretty well.

After developing Deadfall Adventures, Farm 51 disappeared for 4 years, which clearly indicates the quality of this title.

The game itself is an FPS with puzzles, which borrows heavily from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Alan Wake, Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones. The mechanics of this game are way too familiar, and even some of the sequences are nothing more than nods to other, much better franchises. The voice acting is horrible, the combat is very mediocre and the puzzles are... well, they are bad.

Some puzzles are very tedious because the game does not communicate very well what to do in order to progress, despite the fact that you can use notes that feature hints/solutions to puzzles.

The characters are badly written, the story is mediocre, everything is pretty much just... there. However, I finished it because it has a very B-movie vibe, that games rarely achieve.

I was looking for an Indiana Jones type game, and this one is so low quality I couldn't continue. The voice acting and the stiff animation reminds me of early arcade shooters like House of the Dead. The controls were also really stiff, and the puzzles and level design was really amatuerish. When it started killing me in really cheap ways and making me replay large chunks of levels (including re-doing puzzles) I was done.
