Critic Reviews
Game Rant - Anthony Taormina - 8/10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers some of the best puzzling and tomb-raiding in a video game, matching Spielberg’s films in many respects.
PC Gamer - Ted Litchfield - 86 / 100
Like if an immersive sim got caught in a teleporter accident with Uncharted. Some aspects of The Great Circle are weaker than others, but it joins Batman Arkham and Goldeneye in the god tier of licensed games.
Eurogamer - Katharine Castle - 5 / 5
Smart, fun and so very Indiana Jones, The Great Circle is a stealth action tour de force that marks a bold new era for MachineGames.
IGN - Luke Reilly - 9 / 10
An irresistible and immersive global treasure hunt, and far and away the best Indy story this century, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle doesn’t belong in a museum; it belongs on your hard drive where you can play the heck out of it.
TheGamer - Eric Switzer - 3.5 / 5
It’s a fun story with some decent gameplay variety that’s authentically Indy. You won’t miss much by strictly sticking to the main quest, and in fact, your experience will be better for it. It’s a shame the rest of it falls so flat.
GamesRadar+ - Josh West - 5 / 5
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle shows that there’s still plenty left for Lara Croft and Nathan Drake to learn about raiding tombs from the master
GameSpot - Richard Wakeling - 9 / 10
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle takes an unexpectedly stealthy and freeform approach, making for a faithful, rip-roaring adventure in which you truly embody the famous archeologist.
I stole this format from @simple@lemm.ee, so I hope I got it all right. This game looks awesome!
So its actually good? Honestly surprised. The devs haven’t been canned either?
I’m surprised that folks here were surprised that the people behind those Wolfenstein games would make a good game.
Because we’ve seen time and time again where good devs go bad. Especially when they get bought out.
It was worse before the buyout, when Zenimax had an initiative to make everyone make live service games even when it was clearly a bad idea.
Same here. I thought it was going to be mediocre at best. Still not interested but happy for the people who like such games.
I thought it was going to be mediocre at best.
I fully expect it to be a mediocre shooter with some good environmental puzzles and nice graphics, Starfield had 85+/100 reviews before coming out. We’ll find out once it actually releases, in two years with all of the hypothetical DLC included for 15€. Bethesda can fuck right off with their 50€ offerings.
I’m glad this game is good! Now for the love of God, let them make another Wolfenstein, Microsoft!
Meh I’m still skeptical. These reviews seem awfully generous compared to the gameplay footage I saw.
I’m always sceptical of critic reviews, considering
Just so PC owners are aware, it’s been confirmed that early access will not contain full ray tracing option.
I am very interested in how well various cards will handle the ready tracing options.
ACG review.
TL;DW He enjoyed that game but there were enough technical issues so just be aware of the limitations of the game and your rig.
