Summary
Indiana Jones and the Great Circlefinally 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, witha score of Mighty on OpenCriticand87 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 byPCMags’s Gabriel Zamora, who praised the game for its presentation, but thought it was worsened by its bloated exploration elements.
