Was in the Steam sale recently - bought it, completed it. It's pretty good - revisits a lot of MI1 and 2 with the hindsight that comes with age. There's a lot to like, but it's also fairly blatantly unfinished, some of the puzzles seem like placeholders for the much bigger puzzles that ought to be there, if you see what I mean?
It's not quite as good as any of the original trilogy, but it's not far off. Massively better than 4, obviously. I quite enjoyed the Telltale ones, tho - the episodic structure forced them to keep the puzzles tight, and they had some really good moments.

My absolute favorite game series. Even the later ones, which aren't as good as 1-3 are still pretty decent.

Was the last one decent too? After the telltale game i didnt dare touch it
