Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a thrilling adventure game inspired by the original movies. You’ll solve mysteries and uncover hidden relics as you play the iconic character, Indiana Jones.

Indiana Jones is a first person game that lets you feel what it’s like to by Indy, voiced by Troy Baker. Indy is a professor, archeologist and explorer. Throughout the game you’ll explore places around the entire world. From jungle temples to desert tombs there’s plenty to explore and you’ll be rewarded for wandering off the beaten path.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set between the Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. It takes place in 1937 when evil forces are scouring the ancient sites looking for a powerful artifact. It’s up to Indy to use his resourcefulness and cunning to stop them.

The game features a mix of narrative driven linear stories and open world areas for you to explore. You’ll take your whip with you to help navigate through the environment and use as a weapon to distract or disarm enemies.

The focus of the game is on mysteries, mythology and ancient relics. There are lots of puzzles and brain teasers. Combat is a feature but it doesn’t dominate the game. Puzzle difficulty can be adjusted to make the game easier or harder. It’s worth giving the puzzles a good try before turning difficulty down or looking for solutions.

If you’re an Indy fan I think you’ll love The Great Circle. The voice acting by Troy Baker is phenomenal and it’s clear he’s spent a lot of time getting the nuances just right. In fact the voice cast for the entire game is great and the characters sound authentic.

The atmosphere is immersive and during many of the scenes you’ll feel like you’re really in an Indy movie. The game runs well and should take around 30 hours to complete if you stop to check out the side quests.
