I wasn´t quite sure what to expect of "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle". I love Indiana Jones and I find it almost impossible not to compare the game to the films. Which is a lot to live up to. By my book there are only two movies which really nailed the character and the atmosphere, "Raiders" and "Last Crusade". "Temple of Doom" was actually pretty grim and turned Jones into an almost misogynistic macho and what could have been another strong female lead into an ever screaming hysteric. Years later came "Crystal Skull" which was only epic as in epic failure and finally "Dial of Destiny" which had some great ideas but was overloaded with exposition. To get the story going Jones not only had to suffer a failed marriage but also the death of his son, pension shock and even a completely senseless murder plot which got dropped only minutes later never to be mentioned again or at least somehow resolved. Which literally brings us to the first thing the game gets right. In "Great Circle" Indy also suffers from a broken relationship (with the same woman, only decades earlier). There is a break-in, an insignificant artifact gets stolen by a giant man who loses an ancient seal of the Vatican. That´s about it and it is plenty. Indy wants to run away and there is a mystery, an opportunity for discovery. It is as simple as it is relatable. From here on the writers nail everything and this is no small feat considering that even the legends Lucas/Spielberg and the great James Mangold got a lot wrong in the final two installments. Seeing Indiana Jones roam the hidden catacombs of the Vatican and punching Italian fascists is just perfect and makes you wonder why nobody else ever cooked up that idea before. There are a couple of easter eggs, there is blockbuster nostalgia but they never feel forced. There is Gina, a fully fleshed-out female lead who challenges our hero but never feels like a Marion Ravenwood rip-off. There is a disgusting villain who even the nazis dislike. The gameplay doesn´t reinvent the wheel and it doesn´t have to. "Great Circle" feels a lot like a game in the "Dishonored"-series which I don´t mind since I played the hell out of these games. It simply fits since it presents an opportunity to use all the basic elements of an Indiana Jones story. There are puzzles in abandoned tombs, mysteries to uncover, passages to climb, exotic places to explore and hordes of bad guys to whip. Gathering from the trailers that this was basically a FPS I was at first skeptical how the game could possibly capture the titular character. MachineGames actually made some very good choices here. There are quite a few cinematic cut scenes (who always bring the story forward and never outstay their welcome) and the game switches to a third person perspective when climbing or swinging. And there is Troy Baker who perfectly recreates but never copies Harrison Ford´s performance. Honestly, I could have sworn that this was either Ford´s voice, facial expression and body language or some heavy AI at work. Neither is true. It´s Baker all the time and he is fantastic. Is this actually the modern day Indiana Jones sequel we always wanted but never got? Hell, yes.

Great Game

印第安纳琼斯古老之圈接近50小时隐藏结局通关。如果喜欢夺宝奇兵，那可以给到7.5/10，不然得扣一分。先说好的，游戏场景和美术相当强，第一张图的古早箱庭设计有点像黑魂1，地图各块场景的链接却相当巧妙，可惜后面二张大地图就是很普通的大世界了。然后是过场动画的动作指导电影元素浓厚，十分夺宝。然后说不好的，游戏的战斗玩法是推崇潜入近战暗杀，用枪打头可能三四下都没法击败一个敌人，玩久了会觉得相当无聊。剧情有点高开低走，到最后感觉有点就那回事，没有电影约柜和圣杯那样让人惊讶。然后隐藏结局的达成条件是收集所有古代文物，但是不看攻略有些剧情点去过一次就再也去不了了，只能二周目，所以建议想打隐藏结局的得照着攻略，至于值不值全收集，老实说我觉得也是不值得的，隐藏结局多了一个画面过场交代某个角色的后续，和中间看攻略花时间收集比我觉得还不如视频网站看一下。

"You'll have one hell of a story to tell."

This game is honestly way better than I expected. It throws you into puzzles, fistfights, and that classic running away from something big and round moment that I swear Indiana must have nightmares about. I loved the movies and this game made my childhood complete. I just hope there's going to me more Indiana adventures by the same developer. The stealth sections made me feel like I was playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate for about 3 seconds before I accidentally pressed the wrong button and punched a wall, but hey, it still worked out. The story is fun, the vibes are pure adventure/movie energy, and Indiana keeps dropping those sarcastic one‑liners like he’s speed running being grumpy. Specially in the sewers in (in the DLC), I dropped in that dirty water and he was like "Nice, now I need a shower" then dropped again "Now I need two showers" 🤣 Graphics? AWESOME. Action? Chaotic in a good way. Performace? Perfect. Bugs? Yeah, a few, but nothing game‑breaking, I did had a bit of an issue with a Note but found it eventually (in the DLC). Overall: 10/10 would whip enemies again!!! To the devs: Please make some more Indiana adventures for us, would 10000000% buy it and finish it!

Игра прекрасная ,но главное не увлекаться исследованиями и розыском/сбором всего что есть на карте, иначе игра задушит на второй и третьей локациях (Египет и Азия). Лучше бежать чисто по сюжету. Ватикан (первая локация) исследовался на порядок бодрее и увлекательнее. Сюжетные миссии - чистый кайф , как будто фильм посмотрел.
