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.

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.

Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle arrives on PlayStation 5 in stunning form. The MachineGames and Bethesda production further crystallises its position, offering Sony audiences an immersive, content-packed adventure that takes full advantage of the Japanese flagship's capabilities. To paraphrase a historical Indy quote: ‘This game should be on every PS5’.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a game for every gamer who enjoyed the movies and who, as a child, dreamed of putting on a whip and hat to live the experiences of the popular Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle looks like a title that centers some of the key elements of the series, offering an adventure full of mysteries and discoveries, in true Indiana Jones style. However, some designm choices such as the combat and stealth-related systems show weaknesses that hardly go unnoticed. Although the technical aspect has been significantly refined from past versions, the game oscillates between moments of undoubted charm and others where its limitations emerge. It certainly does not create a new graphical standard, but it remains enjoyable to the eyes without too much jarring. Ultimately, the experience offered is a compromise between nostalgia for Indy's adventures and the need for a more pronounced evolution in some aspects of gameplay. However, I will not deny that this is probably one of the best titles dedicated to the world's most famous archaeologist. The plot holds its own against the movies thanks in part to a truly believable cast, and this applies not only to the performance of Indiana Jones, but also to all the secondary characters and antagonists.
