Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

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.

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 low expectations going into this. The last two films had been bad and games tend to try and change things for 'modern audiences' these days.

Delighted to say this is well scripted, well acted and feels like a proper fourth Indiana Jones film we never got. The voice of Indiana is a good version of Harrison Ford and the story remains interesting and doesn't drag on too long.

It allows you to focus on the main story or do some side missions, you can continue to go back to side missions after the end or jump locations in the game itself, giving it a semi-open world feel to it. But definitely not as open world as other Bethesda games.

Much of the game is Tomb Raider style (which was itself influenced by Indiana Jones) or stealth play, it seems to reward stealth a lot more than open combat.

Downside is that the fist-fighting elements are a little painful to play and the boss fights are not fun at all and seem to involve as much luck as judgement.

I played the game to completion without bugs, or crashing on Xbox, though immediately got hit with a bug after the game that means I cannot get certain achievements. For this I cannot give it a perfect score. But it is well worth your time if you are a fan of the films and these types of games.

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 said it in the title and I'll say it again... wow!!! Enduring the Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny(Didn't hate it), this gave all of us Indiana Jones fans the fix we needed. Right off the bat, the nostalgia hits hard and I have to say, by the end, I was smiling with some tears in the eyes because I was brought back to being a kid again. This game will bring in new generations to the magic that is Indiana Jones. My 5 year old son make me watch all the movies over and over because of this game and anytime I'm in the car, he gives me the ol' "okie dokie Dr. Jones, hold on to your potatoes. Magic!!
