Indiana Jones and the Great Circle convinces both fans of the film series and newcomers with a gripping adventure based on the classic Indiana Jones flair. The mixture of action-packed combat, clever puzzles and atmospheric stealth elements makes for an entertaining and varied experience. The decision to play the game from a first-person perspective in particular promotes immersion and allows the player to delve even deeper into the world of the archaeologist. The graphical implementation provides coherent visual impressions, even if the high performance of the engine is dependent on powerful hardware and technical problems such as the fluctuating frame rate can spoil the enjoyment of the game. The sound design and background music from the well-known films also provide a successful atmosphere that skillfully captures the Indiana Jones feeling. Nevertheless, it is above all the charming details that make the game stand out - from the interactive dialogues to the humorous cutscenes and the lovingly designed locations. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an entertaining adventure that is both in the tradition of the films and integrates modern gameplay elements. A must-have for explorers and Indiana Jones fans, even if minor technical flaws tarnish the overall impression somewhat.

The fifth version of Train Sim World from Dovetail Games impresses with many small and large improvements. The simulator has been made even more user-friendly, especially for beginners and casual gamers who just want to get a taste of the world of trains. It is also nice to see that the update is now free for owners of Train Sim World 4 and that the included routes can be purchased separately.

To summarize, it can be said that Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown makes a big promise in many respects, but it cannot keep it. The atmosphere is disappointingly empty, the story is irrelevant and the balancing is sometimes so poorly thought out that it completely spoils the fun of racing. The graphics, although beautiful to look at, suffer from a high performance hunger and the server problems make the multiplayer practically unplayable. Only the driving experience and the sound are convincing, but are not enough to compensate for the numerous shortcomings. If the developers manage to fix the numerous technical problems, the game could at least become an average racing game.
