Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It also works magnificently: in my nearly 100 hours of game time on Windows 10 (notorious for breaking older games), I have experienced maybe one or two crashes during the gameplay - at most.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat system is, without a doubt, the best part of the game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is pretty decent as well, serving as a sort of prequel to Temple of Doom, though the timeline of characters meeting and their interactions aren't entirely consistent.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the other hand if you stick it out there is a great variety of action scenes, and backdrops/locations + the scenery/graphics are beautiful.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Much like the story, the soundtrack, while a bit worse than John Williams's scores, is pretty kick-ass.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Once you've got it running at 60 FPS and at a tolerable resolution, the game almost looks five years ahead of its time.
