Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the best story Indy has seen in over thirty years and with excellent graphics and impressive gameplay mechanics to accompany it, this is a must play.
Indiana Jones And The Great Circle is one of the most sincere and wholehearted love letters the gaming industry has ever done to the film one. MachineGames has managed to craft an experience that is both very faithful to the original and compelling to play: it's unexpectedly deep and narratively entertaining, so much that it's easy to forgive its many technical shortcomings.

An irresistible and immersive global treasure hunt, and far and away the best Indy story this century, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle doesn’t belong in a museum; it belongs on your hard drive where you can play the heck out of it.
Smart, fun and so very Indiana Jones, The Great Circle is a stealth action tour de force that marks a bold new era for MachineGames.
Like if an immersive sim got caught in a teleporter accident with Uncharted. Some aspects of The Great Circle are weaker than others, but it joins Batman Arkham and Goldeneye in the god tier of licensed games.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers some of the best puzzling and tomb-raiding in a video game, matching Spielberg's films in many respects.
It’s a fun story with some decent gameplay variety that’s authentically Indy. You won’t miss much by strictly sticking to the main quest, and in fact, your experience will be better for it. It’s a shame the rest of it falls so flat.
"Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shows that there's still plenty left for Lara Croft and Nathan Drake to learn about raiding tombs from the master"
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle takes an unexpectedly stealthy and freeform approach, making for a faithful, rip-roaring adventure in which you truly embody the famous archeologist.
MachineGames' latest is one of the best of 2024 and Indy's finest adventure in decades
Closing out a season of fantastic launches, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle finally delivers on the promise of Xbox Games Pass, delivering a high-quality and entertaining single-player adventure that fans of the series will absolutely adore. While it's not the most technically innovative game and it could use an upgrade in the combat department, it's still one of the most entertaining games of the year, and a much more faithful continuation of the Indiana Jones franchise than the most recent films in the series.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an exhilarating adventure that features fun combat, engaging exploration and a story that perfectly embodies the warmth of the iconic franchise. While it occasionally faces traversal hiccups, it remains a thrilling action-packed experience.
A thoughtfully adapted first-person adventure that sees Indy sticking his nose in every corner of its huge open levels, and getting into fist fights at the drop of a hat.
You come out of it with an appreciation for ancient secrets and moral quandaries. There’s a love story with an unexpected ending and a familiar character who, after 21 so-so games, finally comes out of the cold into your living room with spectacular entertainment. It’s an adventure that seemed to go on for a longer than expected time and I didn’t want it to end.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is authentic and exciting, filled with excellent set pieces and some enjoyable gameplay.
When Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is at its best, it’s a clever mix of Dishonored and Uncharted that rewards players for using their brains to get one step ahead of a fascist power grab. It does that while retaining the campy charm of Steven Spielberg’s original trilogy, even if its attempts at Hollywood spectacle can feel a little flat when compared to a medium full of adventure games that have long since beaten Indy to the finish line.
