The 21-year longing of Indiana Jones fans is over. No longer will they only think of Fate of Atlantis when they think of "the best Indiana Jones game". The Great Circle is definitely one of the biggest, most beautiful surprises of this year.

Indiana Jones makes a triumphant return in the Great Circle thanks to a stellar cast, good puzzles, gameplay variety, attention to detail, and solid technical performance. It is a must play for fans of the whip-cracking hero, and adventure gamers.
There are some issues, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle does everything it needs to for me as a fan and as a gamer. However, one major bug keeps it from a perfect score in my eyes.
With the majority of first-person games being rubbish, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an incredible surprise. With the team behind Wolfenstein, it really shouldn't have been. An incredibly fun experience from start to finish with a fantastic story, beautiful environments, taxing puzzles and a fantastic score Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the definitive Indy experience in gaming and, dare I say, all media? (no).
Other than some repetitiveness towards the end of the experience, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is Machine Games' best and finest project, combining the freedom of semi-open-world design with the spirit of adventure and action in a story of a very high level. The game's journey with its characters is a love letter to all story game lovers

What better way to wrap up the year than by diving into Indiana Jones and the Great Circle? MachineGames' latest release is nothing short of a masterpiece, living up to the legendary Indiana Jones name. Opting for a first-person perspective in an action-adventure game was a bold move-especially with heavyweights like Uncharted and Tomb Raider dominating the genre-but MachineGames took the risk and delivered. The result? A thrilling, immersive experience that sets a new standard for Indiana Jones games and proves the studio's knack for crafting unforgettable adventures.

It's more than a game. It is a film in which you play the leading role of the most popular archaeologist from TV and cinema screens. The combination of these two genres is astonishing and perfectly coordinated. You'll travel around the world with Dr Jones, and although this expedition has some minor flaws, it's a truly epic experience.

MachineGames has managed to create one of the best cinematic adaptations in the video game world without imitating modern adventure works. While the experience could have received more polish, the elements of the classic films are well presented in a video game format that will satisfy both die-hard fans of the legendary Dr. Jones and appeal to new audiences.

Instead of following trends or the logical path, MachineGames took what it does best and injected what makes Indiana Jones such a beloved series. It grabs you and delivers a sense of adventure so good, it's easy to forget all its problems.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle goes to show that MachineGames has an eye for fortune and glory. Not only is this title another great addition to Xbox Game Pass, it’s an absolute must for fans of the infamous Indy.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an absolutely fun but flawed experience. The full Indiana Jones vibe is present from a story and pacing perspective. The stealth is laughable, but all of the other gameplay elements make up for it. The graphics are good except for an issue or two, while the sound is good enough to elevate the overall experience. Some work needs to be done to make the game run smoothly without the fear that your experience will be abruptly cut due to instability issues. As it stands now, it's a good game and a fine way to cap off a year of big releases before the impending storm of next year's games begins.
Adventure! Enjoyable, a little banal, sometimes predictable, but Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a very positive surprise. Simply a great game.

Despite my gripes on sudden shifts to third-person, its plethora of animation bugs and glitches, and meager optimization on PC, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shows a lot of respect to its source material. With its incredible voice-over team especially Troy Baker's amazing performance and portrayal of Indiana Jones, the stunning musical score that captures the essence of John Williams' work, the staggering locations, and the adequate story, it's an authentic Indiana Jones adventure you'll surely enjoy.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a fantastic adventure, which understands perfectly the franchise that we all love. A game that oozes charisma and manages to put you in Indy's shoes with puzles in lost civilisations and dozens of secrets to discover. A real treat to end 2024 on a high note.

All of this amounts to the exact type of praise we hoped we’d be left with; this is Xbox’s definitive game this year, and a perfect love letter to the original films. It captures what made them great in the witty tone, sense of adventure, and captivating mystery and expands it into a full on 30 hour videogame packed with fun and meaningful things to do in addition to the story. Some smarter enemies and a bit more of an expansion to the freedom to solve certain areas our own way would have been welcome, but other than a few minor quibbles Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is a brilliant adventure from start to finish.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle perfectly captures the spirit of the film saga, with an adventure that manages to put us in the skin of the most famous archaeologist in a unique way. a marvel, which manages to capture the feeling of the movies in an excellent way. The work of MachineGames makes us feel that we are really in the skin of Indiana Jones, throwing punches and hitting Nazis with anything we have at hand. A game with a level of detail of scandal that manages to position itself as one of the best adventures in the catalog of the excellent archaeologist.
