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 @[email protected], so I hope I got it all right. This game looks awesome!

      I sat with 2mbps for a couple of years. It was quicker to unplug and take my XB to my parents house an hour away to download anything!

      Keep the faith, I get 400mbps now and all I had to do was be a little patient, move to a different county and get into crippling debt.

      But those download times 🤤

          Thing is after a certain point I can’t even tell the difference any more. I feel like the downloads are throttled from Microsoft’s side so I never quite get the full whack.
