Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

You get to beat up Nazis and fascists, 10/10

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a spectactular achievement in almost every aspect, an immersive, cinematic experience with AAA budget and quality and devs who actually care about what they are creating. I love Indiana Jones and I love history, so exploring the vatican, watching the sands drift lazily across the dunes at Gizeh, the pyramids towering in the background, the Sphinx staring vacantly across the desert, scratching on my lighter as I explored tunnels, I loved almost every minute of this game. I truly have no real complaints, other than it might have been nicer to have a few more action setpieces like from the movies, and the final open area was kind of annoying to navigate by boat. Sure the combat isn't exactly deep, stealth is pretty basic and considering the gunplay is so good you never really have an incentive to use it. But that's not why you play an Indiana Jones game. Other than that, absolute cinema, with the best Indy story we've gotten since Last Crusade, the last Indiana Jones movie as we all know, with all the supernatural mystery, historical unearthing around the globe we all know and love so well. Troy Baker is a pretentious bellend, but he's genuinely unrecognizable here, he sounds exactly like Harrison Ford, and side by side its almost impossible to tell the difference. Basically, it's pretty much a masterpiece of a game for me, exciting, immersive, beautiful, with vibrant and fascinating locations that are for the most part a true pleasure to move through and unearth every detail, photograph everything, hear Indy's muttered comments, wry sarcasm and wit, with puzzles that are actually fun to figure out, and immersive sim elements that we've been missing from AAA games for far too long. I strongly recommend Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Sérieux, je ne comprends pas les mauvais avis (avec aussi le gars qui se plaint encore de ne pas réussir à lancer son jeu en 2026)... Le jeu est de très bonne qualité, je ne vois pas quoi demander de plus pour un jeu de ce genre, Indiana Jones ou non : L'histoire est correcte, les environnements sont très très bons et super bien détaillés, les énigmes sont sympas, la durée de vie est assez longue, le gameplay est complet, les cinématiques sont soignées, il y a plusieurs références aux films, la vf est top, et il y a pleins de petites quêtes secondaires ou succès à débloquer sur les grandes cartes. Je n'ai eu qu'un seul crash. C'est un poil répétitif parfois, où on devient aussi un peu parano pour ne pas rater une seule note (le platine est quasi impossible ou alors il faut jouer en checkant chaque recoin de la map ou bien aller sur mapgenie...) mais franchement ça passe et ça fonctionne très bien quand on joue normalement. Oui c'est pas le jeu du siècle, mais il est à prendre les yeux fermés pour les amateurs de jeux d'aventure, des Uncharted, des semis open world avec un peu de combat, ou même des films.

Gra fabularnie stoi świetnie, graficznie też nie odbiega, ale poziom optymalizacji leży, kwiczy i szoruje o dno. Ze wskazaną optymalizacją mam pokaz slajdów w 1440p na max ustawieniach + PT - może i jestem wymagający, ale po to płaciłem za sprzęt wysokiej jakości, żeby nie bawić się w kompromisy, a tu jednak jestem na nie zmuszony - ta gra jest wyjątkiem bo w innych nawet najbardziej graficznie wymagających 16gb VRAM wystarcza albo z górką albo prawie cały wypełniony, więc i tę grę na pewno da się zoptymalizować, tylko trzeba chcieć.

I believe I finished something like a half of the game, and I am ready to recommend it. Graphically beautiful, but also true to its origin, it indeed plays like a lost Jones movie. After completing the game: It was a great adventure across multiple beautiful locations. Visually absolutely stunning. As for the story - it has all the strengths an weaknesses of original franchise - swashbuckling and extremely unrealistic. But who cares, I enjoyed it all!

Finishing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle left me impressed. The graphics are fantastic, the story is excellent, and I’d even put it above some of the movies. Troy Baker also deserves a ton of credit for how convincingly he channels Harrison Ford as Indy. The Vatican was the only area I didn’t really enjoy because it felt too maze-like, but every region after that was a lot of fun to explore. I also liked hunting down the collectibles, especially since they weren’t just there for completion’s sake and actually helped unlock new abilities and upgrades. Most of the traversal worked well, although I couldn’t help but groan every time Indy had to slowly climb a wall with his whip. I also wasn’t sure I’d enjoy the first-person perspective, but it completely won me over by the end. It all comes together into an adventure that exceeded my expectations

amazing story
