Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

I only watched the first movie in preparation for this game and found it helpful but not necessary to be familiar. The performances in this game are incredible, Troy does a great job as Indy and really nails a lot of the more subtle things that you think he might miss. We have a worthy foil to Indy in this game as well with Emmerich Voss played by Marios Gavrilis who will entrance you with every scene he's in. As expected from their wolfenstein games, machine games really knows how to make good cutscenes especially when so many AAA games are obsessed with aping cinema it is refreshing to see a studio to actually try and apply it to their cinematography as well instead of just stopping at "realism." But make no mistake, this isnt a movie game, this is actually surprisingly closer to a dishonored than uncharted. Levels are dense and there are usually multiple routes to get to where you wanna go and stealthing around is fun. The melee combat never gets old, its always fun to bash in a Nazi's head with a guitar. This game also performs really well thanks to the dark magic that powers id Tech

Achievement hunting is tedious, don't buy.

[b]A Rough Start Saved by Giza[/b] 🪢🤠 I went into this game with high expectations after reading reviews, and for the first few hours, I genuinely wanted to turn it off and refund it. The story was incredibly boring, the game crashed frequently (thankfully, there are autosaves, but still unacceptable two years after release), and enemies somehow had x-ray vision. As a casual fan of the movies (I still love the chilled monkey brains scene!), it just didn't hook me. But then I reached Giza, and everything clicked. The environment and atmosphere there are beautifully crafted, and the game finally became fun. I am disappointed in many aspects, but I am rating the game objectively for what it is, setting my emotions aside. It's proof that it's better to go in with zero expectations. In my personal opinion, the game is not worth the full price, and I highly recommend waiting for a sale. ➕ [b]Pros:[/b] [b]Giza & Environments:[/b] The level design and environments are really well done. Once you hit the Giza section, the atmosphere completely changes, the slump breaks, and the game finally becomes genuinely enjoyable. [b]Forgiving Climbing (mostly):[/b] The climbing mechanics are primitive and straightforward, meaning you usually can't mess it up and it flows quite well. ➖ [b]Cons:[/b] [b]Price vs. Playtime:[/b] For a 70 euro base price, you are strictly paying for the brand. The main story is only about 15 hours long. I maxed out the game (all achievements, every house, every key, plus DLC) and it only took me 28 hours—and I'm no Sherlock Holmes when it comes to finding things. [b]Frustrating Weapon Drops & Bugs:[/b] Indy constantly drops his melee weapons just to open a gate, forcing you to pick them up again—incredibly annoying early on. Additionally, the camera and journal are very buggy (I had to equip food just to make the inputs register), and the game randomly switches your tracked quests. [b]Terrible Companion AI:[/b] NPCs constantly stand in the worst possible spots and block your path. During a light-beam puzzle, Gina literally stood right in the beam like a statue, making it impossible to solve. [b]Clunky Ledges & Crashes:[/b] Despite the simple climbing, Indy often refuses to grab ledges, leading to countless deaths. Plus, the game still crashes quite a bit for a two-year-old title. [b]Final Score:[/b] 6.5/10 [spoiler]I honestly completely forgot about Gina the moment Pailin appeared. There is no more beautiful woman in the game. Next to her, Gina looks and acts like an undeveloped young boy XD[/spoiler]

Very good adventure game with an Indiana Jones coat of paint. Movement and interaction made me think of Dishonored. Be aware not to overdo the side quests as the game is a bit bloated with them. I made the mistake of trying to do everything and it sucked the fun out of it. Stick to the main quest and do a few optional things (especially the ones involving Gina) and you'll have a blast.

Loved this game, and it ran quite well on my Steam Deck!

不是什么苦大仇深的严肃剧情，轻松欢乐的旅程反而让我更喜欢。 其实之前在xgp已经玩过了，趁着夏促补个票。虽然销量好像不太好，但千万要出续作啊！ （乔尔的演员在这里面的造型还是蛮像的，但是长得太聪明了一点，少了一点福特那种呆呆愣愣的气质。） 总觉得声音怪怪的。我用的一对2.0音箱，一旦离远了npc声音很不自然，感觉就是单纯的减小音量。

使用英伟达帧生成后就再也没法打开游戏了

这游戏优化极差，卡顿严重，还有花屏~谨慎购买！
