It's difficult for me to articulate my feelings about this game, especially considering the fact that I doubt anyone will see this review. The gameplay loop itself is pretty great, with only the combat aspect of it getting boggled down, primarily due to a lack of enemy variety and encounter arena facilitation (or whatever). The gameplay loop absolutely shines when it comes the tomb-raiding element, which is always great, both in visuals and atmosphere as well as gameplay. It's always incredibly evocative of the Indiana Jones films, which I suppose is like the highest praise I could give this game. Another component of the game I'd like to praise is the story presentation. Cutscenes in video games typically eschew good cinematography and characterization in favor of succinct and straightforward story bits that either convey information or move the plot forward. Not that there's anything wrong with that, developers often prioritize the gameplay over story presentation. But this game? The story presentation is tremendous. Cutscenes ooze personality and character, and are coupled with amazing vocal performances from the main cast. Everyone already knows how good Troy Baker is as Indy, so I won't bother extrapolating on that front. I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled by a game's cutscenes and narrative. I had so much fun playing Great Circle that I had a big, shit-eating grin plastered across my face by the time the credits rolled. Game is gud. Buy.

When I first heard of this game, I had absolutely no interest, which is saying something considering everyone who knows me is well aware I could not love the Indiana Jones trilogy harder if I tried. I consider them some of the best films of the 20th century. Why did this not even remotely catch my attention boiled down to everyone involved. Todd "buy my game" Howard? Machine Games, the developers who fumbled the bag on Wolfenstein hard enough it's a dead series again? Please, don't even get me started on Lucasfilm under Disney. So I completely ignored this game until I decided to check it out on a Gamepass Trial. I bought the game, alongside the unreleased DLC, before I finished the first level. Finally, decades after Fate of Atlantis, we have a fifth entry in this franchise. The Great Circle effortlessly captures and exudes this vast imagination, wonder, thrills and joy of discovery that makes these films so enjoyable, but you get to fully play it. Let's start with the story and characters with Henry Jones Junior. I'll give Troy Baker the recognition he deserves because he nailed everything. The small mannerisms, the way he talks to himself to deliver exposition, the sarcastic little quips, this isn't a mere imitation, this is a flat out near perfect impersonation to the point only the most clinical ear will be able to tell it's not Ford. And thanks to some lovely body and facial animations, the physical comedy that our beloved actor instilled subtly into the character is very well present. This same level of care is put in every major character, who all are loveable or despicable in their own right. Our main Nazi baddy is a complete clown who thinks too highly of himself, but with a cunning and two-steps forward thinking ability that keeps him and his goons a credible threat. Our damsel for the ride, Gina, is a charming italian that stands out as her own worthy action girl. And in a great final performance, the muscle for this one is Tony Todd, who gives Locus the Giant a menacing and intimidating aura. The plot concerns mysterious artefacts across the globe somehow being connected, and let me say nothing else but no, you have no idea where this goes and I was all in with it from start to finish. It's bonkers, insane and I loved the hell out of it. What is also cool, is that all sidequests have a LOT to do with the main story, so by doing them you only get more context and mythology to chew on, while being diverse and unique to be interesting to seek out. I mentioned the "muscle", which is a fun and iconic running trope, and yes, let me be clear- they recreate the Indy fantasy alongside the tropes in every aspect of the experience, from gameplay systems, audio and cutscenes. Just about any long standing running gag is accounted for, and the nods, winks and subtle references if you look for them are all there. The actual gameplay is this excellent mix of exploration, organic dirty brawls and puzzle solving that is a complete joy, lending itself to both making you feel like you're actually exploring and discovering things on your own, while allowing dynamic moments to happen as you roam. I can't count how many times I had a situation happen where I got spotted, knocked the guy out and a perfect musical stinger played as he ragdolled comically. Exploring tombs, figuring out ancient artifacts, or finding a hidden secret is all executed so well because of a very strong effort to maintain a consistent body while in first person view (with supremely detailed animations) but also because of the finer details, like making maps a real object in the world, or how you can inspect and look at items from your inventory (and throw them as a distraction!), or how your whip can be used for combat, takedowns, exploration, and even as a source of sound to distract or lure guards. There is this incredibly holistic feel to how everything just clicks exactly in place to create a truly immersive game that is so extraordinarily engaging. So to give an example of how it all comes together: You will be walking around a street on Vatican grounds looking for an ancient relic a Nun mentioned that can be found at an excavation, and suddenly run into a blackshirt commander who can see through your priest disguise. In a hurry, you try to take out your baton to kick his ass before he screams out an alarm, but end up throwing an orange at him. This gives you a two second window to grab a random shovel and knock him out cold, where he stumbles as a comical string sound plays out. The rest of the guards, all completely unaware. You sigh a little and grab his body to throw it somewhere discreet and continue like nothing happened. You will have a lot of cinematic and grand story beats that play out like they should and they are all mostly awesome, but it was in these little cock ups that the true soul of Jones burned so bright. I had the time of my life with this one. As for negatives, I actually struggle to even think of any. The opening bit is a little too linear to me, and it contrasts a lot in direction and execution to the rest of the game. I also wished the second in command to Voss had a little more screentime because he was incredibly funny to watch. And lastly (here I reveal what level of fanatic I am), the cinematic cutscenes are very good, but the actual cinematography does not reach the level of pristine Spielberg level I am accustomed to (the horizon is at the middle). But that's a nitpick for nerds, I sincerely cannot recommend this game enough. If you are on the fence, please allow me to recommend it in a different way. This is the Terminator Resistance, the Alien Isolation, the Rouge City, the Rockstar's The Warriors, the Escape from Butcher Bay, and, most relevant of all, Peter Jackson's King Kong : The Official Game of The Movie for Indiana Jones. This is the best thing Machine Games has made since The Old Blood, and the best Indy content we will likely ever get in the entire 21st century. It belongs in a museum.

Recommended, but not right now. I wanted to preface that my here review is from the angle of someone who is a completist and tries to do most if not all thing in the game. It might not apply to someone playing it casually. Indiana Jones is a gorgeous game, very well done, a lot of attention to detail, visually and audibly. The voice acting is particularly exceptional especially when it comes to Voss and Indiana, Gina is spotty, sometimes she comes off as Italian sometimes as British. The main plot is quite engaging and keeps you hooked to the end, with a lot of interesting lore to be found along the way. I should note that this game, is not an action game, nor is it an action-adventure even. More like just adventure. There is little to no combat, the majority of your time will be spent finding items across the world, finding clues and puzzles, then solving them. The general feel of the game is somewhat like Uncharted when it comes to cutscenes, and Tomb Raider-ish when it comes to gameplay. Only unlike Uncharted, the pacing is much slower and the humor is weaker with less lovable characters. The three main quasi-open maps you explore feature almost the same set of challenges, with only the languages and settings providing distinction. Additionally, there is little variety in gameplay to offset the repetitive nature of these objectives. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but the game doesn't flow, it's a bit of a drag. Everything you do is certainly fun, but it seems like it's too much of the same,. It would have benefited greatly if it had more ups and downs in terms of pace. Some intense action followed by a calm puzzle to solve. Instead it's just slow across the board and for a completist playing 35-40hrs, it can feel very tedious at times. If you're the kind of person that sticks to the main mission and does the occasional side thing, you will not feel any of this and will enjoy it throughout. The puzzles themselves are good, for the most part not hard, not mindnumbing either like in a lot of games these days, it's challenging enough to at least get you to pause occasionally. And this is probably the best part of the game, exploring and puzzle solving. I also personally enjoyed the punching, it has a nice sense of impact and is incredibly satisfying when you knock an enemy out. The animations and sound effects enhance this with their responsiveness and weight. One thing that bogs the game down however, are its numerous bugs. Look no further than the large bug threads in the community hub. From small to big, to gamebreaking and narrative breaking, the game is not in a final state. Luckily I didn't experience anything game breaking, but plenty of smaller bugs, including narrative breaking ones, where you'd have missions and accompanying custcenes in which a side character talks to you about something that you've already done with them way back in the main mission. I've also had a lot of crashes to desktop which seems to be one of the most prominent issues here. So whether you play the game casually or as a completist, I'd recommend waiting for a few more patches before picking it up. But I do recommend playing it at some point as it is totally worthwhile. Indiana Jones is a fantastic fit for a game universe and protagonist, and I'm hoping we get a trilogy out of it. If the team finetunes the pacing and makes the game more varied in terms of activities, the next one could be a masterpiece.

Forget the modern movies, this is the future of Indiana Jones. Bring on a whole long series of games just like this and let Indy live on.

the masculine urge to become an archaeologist and find biblical treasures all around the world whilst fighting fascists is insane when you play this game.
