What people are saying
A beloved, nostalgic Indiana Jones adventure with some gameplay and pacing issues.
Many players praise the game for capturing the spirit of the original Indiana Jones films, with a story that feels like a natural part of the trilogy. The environments are described as gorgeous and immersive, and the voice acting, especially by Troy Baker, is widely acclaimed. [3][10][19][26]
However, some players criticize the combat as clunky or awkward, particularly in first-person, and note that the stealth mechanics are simplistic. A few also mention game-breaking bugs, such as items spawning in unreachable locations, that can halt progress. [16][35][36]

60 of 534 · most liked firstIndiana Jones and the Great Circle is fantastic. It’s like playing a really great Indiana Jones movie. And Troy Baker is eerily good as Indy. Five stars.
positive · AI labelView post →Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024 and I'm absolutely shocked by this. The Forgotten City with Machine Games storytelling. Sometimes Dishonored, often Hitman. But really, a whole new blend of first person experience.
positive · AI labelView post →What immediately stands out in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is how the environments feel conceived as real, functional places before they become gameplay spaces, ancient sites aren’t presented as artificial obstacle courses, instead, they read as coherent complexes with logical entry points, transitional areas, and spaces whose original purpose can often be inferred from their layout, even the most monumental structures follow an internal logic, and moving through them feels dictated by…

neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was made for the people who were disappointed that Uncharted ended up being a series that was moreso a third person shooter than an *Adventure* game. Indy is much more of an adventure game than it is an action game. I appreciate that.

It's not an amazing masterpiece or MachineGames' best work, but it's a decent adventure game. Even though I have quite a few issues with it, this is still the kind of AAA game I want to see more of. Gameplay and Tempo The biggest issue with the game is definitely its tempo. There are many sections where the game slows down way too much. Endless dialogue, long cutscenes and slow gameplay…
