Title: Indy's Timeless Adventure: Indiana Jones vs. Modern Adventurers
Scores don't lie, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle received a well-earned 86 on Metacritic. Thisbadassgame,developed by the talented bunch at MachineGames, truly grasps the essence of Indy in video game form... somethatinfinitesly rare.
Sure, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine was around in '99, but take a peek at some old-school footage and you'll see it leaned a tad too much towards Tomb Raider’s territory. With Lara being the industry’s top diva back then, it's ironic that she was influenced by Indiana Jones.
Here's a blast from the past ad for that game:

The 2D classics like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis in '92 have a place in many Indy fans’ hearts for nailing the series' distinctive features - thrilling mysteries, devious traps, mystifying artifacts, iconic tunes, cheeky humor, and the enchanting charm of none other than Harrison Ford.
The latest contender, The Great Circle, boasts breathtaking ray-traced 3Dscenery that may leave you starstruck, finding yourself admiring every room and cavernous tomb. However, don't forget about the steep GPU requirements - you’ll need at least an NVIDIA RTX 2060 to join the adventure. Special thanks to ASUS Philippines for lending the unreal ASUS ROG Strix 14with an RTX 4080 that handled the game like a boss. I ran it at 1440p on ultra settings, and a smooth 90-100 FPS was my reward!
Playing The Great Circle, you'll understand why Indy stands out from the crowd. In a world of action heroes like Lara Croft and Nathan Drake, Indy feels more down-to-earth. Instead of relying on bows, combat knives, or superhuman athletic feats, you'll find Indy reaching for brooms, violins, or dustpans to take down the enemy.
The game's first-person perspective sets it apart from most adventure games, making you feel like the actual Indiana Jones. Interactions with the game world are incredibly tactile, adding an extra layer of immersion. First, press a button to access a key, then another to put it in the lock, and finally, turn your analog stick to unlock it. Sure, it's simple, but the effect is game-changing.
Indiana Jones is the man when it comes to archaeology and the supernatural, executing daring stunts with his whip and revealing mysteries. While he may be more athletic than 80% of the world, he's a grounded hero. There's a sense of struggle as he climbs ledges and, unlike Lara or Nathan, he's not above using everyday objects to solve problems.
If you're an Indy fan or just an adventurer at heart, grab this game on PC Game Pass! If you're not into Indiana Jones yet, maybe this will change your mind—but remember, the recommended GPU is an RTX 2060 or higher. A PlayStation 5 version is set to launch in 2025, so keep an eye out.
