Indiana Jones and the Great Circle finally launches next week, bringing us a completely new adventure with our favorite whip-wielding hero. Reviews have started pouring in for the title, and the consensus appears to be that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a great standalone adventure that’s worth experiencing, with a score of Mighty on OpenCritic and 87 on Metacritic at the time of writing.
We’ll start off with a review from our very own features editor, Eric Switzer, who says in his that the game has thrilling set pieces in an authentic story, but is dragged down by simple puzzles and slow pace thanks to open world segments. That sentiment is shared by PCMags’s Gabriel Zamora, who praised the game for its presentation, but thought it was worsened by its bloated exploration elements.

There are quite a lot of other outlets that are a lot more positive though, including VGC, which gave the game a 5/5. Reviewer Jordan Middler has claimed that the game is one of “this year’s greatest adventures”, while Eurogamer was also very similar in its praise with its 5/5 score, as reviewer Katharine Castle says the game “nails both the puzzles and the kind of action we know so well from the films”.
