Indiana Jones and the Great Circle reviews and Metacritic roundup — Here’s what critics think of this Xbox and MachineGames adventure

by

As a seasoned gamer who has traversed numerous digital landscapes, I’ve seen my fair share of mediocre adventures and forgettable characters. But Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, oh boy! This game has managed to capture the essence of the iconic character that’s been etched in my memory since childhood.

As I peruse through an avalanche of feedback on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the newest creation jointly developed by teams at Swedish powerhouse MachineGames and publishing giant Bethesda Softworks (all nestled within the expansive Xbox family), I can’t help but notice a common sentiment: people are really enjoying it!

A thrilling mystery taking place across the globe

There’ll always be variety in opinions, with something working for someone and not working for someone else. That’s why it’s always great to try and read a spread of different reviews before engaging with something and drawing your own conclusion.

Regardless, it’s apparent that most reviewers are finding pleasure in this adventure, commending the game for its faithful adaptation from the movies yet providing opportunities to explore fresh narratives and deliver more blows to the Nazi regime.

Indeed, I too had the opportunity to evaluate Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for Windows Central. In my review, I awarded it 4.5 out of 5 stars, stating that “From the way each line is spoken and scene is filmed, to the smirk on Indy’s face as he solves a puzzle, it’s evident that everyone at MachineGames truly grasps what makes Indiana Jones so unique. This game can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the original trilogy with honor.

I’m really excited about the work done by teams from Xbox, Bethesda, and MachineGames, which will be evident when Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is released on Dec. 9, 2024 across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass. Premium Edition owners can enjoy early access from December 6. If you own a PlayStation 5, expect the game to be available sometime in Spring 2025.
