Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review
Fun, but a bit clunky. The best licensed adventure in years is an 8.2 here.
The Good
- Troy Baker's Ford stops being an impression
- First person was the brave call and the right one
- The Vatican and Gizeh are wonderful sandboxes
The Rough Edges
- Combat and stealth stiffen at the wrong moments
- The tombs start rhyming with each other
Fun, but a bit clunky. That's the whole review in five words, but here's the longer version. MachineGames got the most important thing right: this feels like Indiana Jones. First person was the brave call and the right one: you see the whip crack, the fists swing, the journal fill with your own handwriting, and Troy Baker does a Harrison Ford so good it stops being an impression.
The Vatican and Gizeh are wonderful sandboxes of sneaking, disguising and puzzle-solving. When the game lets you be Indy the archaeologist, it sings.
Then the clunk arrives. The combat stiffens, the stealth wobbles, and it got a bit boring after a while once the tombs started rhyming with each other. Super hyped, but didn't live up to it: the best licensed adventure in years is still an 8.2 on my board.
