Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

The game it's a unique adventure in the character of Indiana Jones, has a perfect story and a charismatic character than makes the story even better and the controls make it a fun way to get into the adventure in different parts of the world. The game delivers a strong, original story featuring Indiana Jones, focusing on adventure and historical intrigue. Richly designed levels that draw players into the world of archaeological discovery and adventure. Incorporation of familiar themes, artifacts, and settings that echo the beloved movies. Additionally, the voice of the actor, Troy Baker, it's amazing his resemblance with the voice of the one and only Harrison Ford, so the game itself almost looks like that Harrison has portrayed himself his voice also the animations are almost the same as Harrison Ford.

This is an absolute masterpiece! I am a huge fan of the franchise and it is one of my favorite movies ever, so I would never use this term lightly, especially for a video game, and especially for an Indiana Jones video game, as I would expect only the highest of standard and would scrutinize every little detail. Yet, they have managed to pull it off and do the impossible - an impeccable game in every aspect!

Amazing script, story, and direction; mesmerizing graphics and level/world design; perfect casting and acting; extremely engaging, fun, smart, witty, full of real historical knowledge; and the oozing charisma of Mr. Henry Jones Jr. Himself!

It really brought me into the golden age of Indiana and Spielberg. I still can't believe it, but they really did absolutely everything right! Heck, I would go as far as to say it is innovative and with it, they are setting a new standard for how games in this genre should look and feel like.

I thought it was going to be another Bethesda flop and garbage, after so many recent disappointments, but man did they nail it - absolutely brilliant!

I've been an Indy fan all my life, and I can say with full conviction this game is as awesome as the original 80's films and the best game in the series; even better than "The Infernal Machine" that was released way back in 1999. It's also a very nice change of pace after the disappointing "Dial of Destiny" released last year.

Set in 1937, between "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Last Crusade", Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr. (Troy Baker) finds himself drawn into yet another adventure to stop an Axis powers operation set on harnessing an ancient power stemming from the Great Circle that takes him from the Vatican, to Egypt, to China. The story and dialogue are engrossing and exciting and keeps you hooked throughout the game, as do the characters; we have the late Tony Todd as the imposing and mysterious thief Locus, Alessandra Mastronardi as investigative reporter Gina Lombardi, Indy's female companion who matches him in wits, and Marios Gavrilis as Emmerich Voss, the menacing yet surprisingly amusing Nazi main antagonist.

The graphics are stunningly beautiful and polished. There are small but impressive details everywhere that make the levels feel complete and alive, like insects in South America or dust clouds and sand particles in Egypt. The levels and environments have massive, breathtaking landscapes you'll have a blast exploring. And with maximum graphics in play, it'll look so real you'll feel like you're watching a whole new Indy movie. There's even a marvelous recreation of the opening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" serving as a tutorial that looks as amazing as it did forty years ago.

I liked the games unique first-person perspective that makes you feel like your truly in Indy's shoes, and it's different not only from previous Indy games, but also from Tomb Raider and Uncharted, which is ironic since both franchises were inspired by Indiana Jones themselves.

The gameplay captures the theme of the films with challenging combat consisting of fist-cuffs, Indy's bullwhip, melee weapons like shovels or hammers, or guns like a Smith & Wesson Mk II revolver, MP28 smg, or Winchester M1897 shotgun. However, using stealth and surprise is generally safer and more recommended than just rushing in guns blazing. While enemy AI isn't very good and sneaking past them is usually easy enough, combat can be a pain because drawing a weapon will invoke the same response from your enemies, in which case they will likely overwhelm and kill you. And, as expected for an Indy game, you'll have to solve intricate and well-designed puzzles that sometimes require searching for hints, glossing over maps, and reading old documents, just like a real archaeologist.

The soundtrack, composed by Gordy Haab, was excellent and based on John Williams legendary original score. The voice work is wonderful. Troy Baker pulls of a great Harrison Ford impersonation as he voices the titular protagonist, fully capturing his witty and sarcastic personality. You'll hear familiar sounds from the movies, like fist strikes and Indy's whip cracking. The ambient noises are cool and realistic, like low hollow echoes and wind blowing softly in the temples, caves and tunnels you explore, or the bird calls and chittering insects in the jungles you travel through. Everything sounds amazing.

Being released just in time for Christmas, this masterpiece from Bethesda will make a terrific gift not only for Indy fans but adventure game fans everywhere.

I wasn't too interested in this game until a couple days before release, and thanks to Game Pass, I didn't have to worry about spending £70 on a game based off a franchise that has had a severe negative reaction everytime they make something new. But this was worth the potential £70 price tag.

It feels like a mix of all the best parts of game series like Hitman, Assassin's Creed and Tomb Raider, with a subtle Bethesda touch and a story that belongs in a cinema in the 1980's.

The puzzles are a perfect mix between difficult and doable, combat is easy to learn and fun to practice, especially when weapons get involved. Troy Baker does a fantastic job playing Indiana and imitates Harrison Ford's performance perfectly.

I have encountered a few bugs when it comes to the map that leaves you looking for collectibles that dont exist, but its not worth taking a star off what is otherwise a perfect game.

I have a lot of experience with gaming, but I can definitely see this being very welcoming to new players and fans of the original movies who haven't touched a videogame in their lives.

I had relatively low hopes for this game, especially since the last few projects have not been the best. From the moment the game started I was hooked. No spoilers but I didn't expect the beginning of the game, and it is a fun Easter Egg for all Indy fans.

Gameplay is super fun and combat is one of the best elements of the game. It's probably the most realistic combat in recent memory. Indy is human and you feel that with every swing and every hit he takes. While most games have an overpowered combat system, combat is fun and challenging. Puzzles manage to be fun but not to tedious, and they manage to stay away from being too repetitive.

The gameplay is beautiful and feels like you're playing through one of the movies. Bethesda manages to do one of the most beloved franchises in history justice.
