Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Reviews
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a fantastic experience set in one of the most beloved media franchises ever. The story is worthy of the series, plus the performances, especially from Troy Baker, are great. Further, the moment-to-moment gameplay of exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat is unique, varied, and fun. Plus, the use of a first-person perspective is a great choice. I hope that MachineGames does more with the franchise in the future.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle does an amazing job of bringing players back into the film franchise with a fun adventure. But it also feels like this could have been much more than just an interactive movie.

From incredible performances to jaw-dropping visuals, MachineGames clearly built this game with passion and respect for the franchise's legacy.

This isn't just the best Indiana Jones game, it's one of the best licensed games ever made.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle hits the exact spot with a whip-cracking precision, even if the fascist enemies are a bit one note. Troy Baker’s performance is incredible, which only furthers the game’s focus on immersion and exploration. MachineGames has more than proven just how incredible a first-person Indiana Jones game can be without sacrificing that tender and earnest aspect of the films. Fans will certainly appreciate this new era.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a revitalization of the franchise, featuring an engaging narrative set in 1937, where Indy faces off against Nazis to protect the mystical artifact known as the Great Circle. With stunning graphics, rich exploration, and challenging puzzles, the game blends nostalgia and innovation. Despite shortcomings in melee combat, the first-person perspective and stealth mode stand out. Available on Game Pass, it’s a must-play experience for adventure fans.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an absolute Indy classic that perfectly sits itself between Raiders and Crusade for the best Indy adventures. MachineGames stays 100% faithful to Indiana Jones and for some that may be good or bad. For me, this is exactly what I wanted in an Indiana Jones adventure, and while I would like maybe a bit more fleshed out combat, and some smarter AI, I couldn’t ask for a better world trotting adventure.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has brilliantly revived an old franchise and introduced a new generation to just how cool the legendary archaeologist truly was and still is. The game captures all the recognizable qualities of the classic films and instantly claims its place as a worthy successor.

MachineGames understood really well the base material to make Indiana Jones and the Great Circle not only a great game by itself, but also an extra chapter that complements the franchise history. I believe this is a very welcome entrypoint for those who don't know the doctor's escapades, and who can get its influences while experiencing a gameplay worth of the best Wolfenstein titles by the developer.

Despite minor gameplay flaws, MachineGames' new video game delivers a consistently enjoyable experience. It captivates players with its story, characters, atmosphere, and gameplay. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a remarkable tribute to a film saga over 40 years old and, without a doubt, the best thing featuring the world's most famous archaeologist since the original film trilogy.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was a marvel of an adaptation, as much fun to watch as it was to play and listen to. The gameplay has its issues, like the combat and the excessive effort required to use certain items, and there are those weird perspective transitions. But everything is done with such care, and with such honor to the original work, that it's easy to forget about it.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the incredible action-adventure game fans have been waiting for. It is, without a doubt, my favorite game of 2024. It was expected that this game would be good, but it did not deliver what would ultimately be a flawless and authentic Indiana Jones experience.
Quite simply, I love Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. It is, quite possibly, my favourite game of the year or - at the very least - right up there.
This is a triumphant adaptation of the beloved franchise, and here's hoping it heralds an exciting new era for Indiana Jones.
