Like if an immersive sim got caught in a teleporter accident with Uncharted. Some aspects of The Great Circle are weaker than others, but it joins Batman Arkham and Goldeneye in the god tier of licensed games.
An irresistible and immersive global treasure hunt, and far and away the best Indy story this century, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle doesn’t belong in a museum; it belongs on your hard drive where you can play the heck out of it.
It’s a fun story with some decent gameplay variety that’s authentically Indy. You won’t miss much by strictly sticking to the main quest, and in fact, your experience will be better for it. It’s a shame the rest of it falls so flat.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle takes an unexpectedly stealthy and freeform approach, making for a faithful, rip-roaring adventure in which you truly embody the famous archeologist.
I stole this format from @[email protected], so I hope I got it all right. This game looks awesome!
wow i did not expect such rave reviews. now im extra excited to try this out. hope my fucking shite internet allows the game to download and doesnt randomly stop every 5 minutes

Thing is after a certain point I can’t even tell the difference any more. I feel like the downloads are throttled from Microsoft’s side so I never quite get the full whack.

I sat with 2mbps for a couple of years. It was quicker to unplug and take my XB to my parents house an hour away to download anything!
Keep the faith, I get 400mbps now and all I had to do was be a little patient, move to a different county and get into crippling debt.
But those download times 🤤
wow 400 🤯 most ive ever had was 200 but mine hovers around 90 now when it doesnt randomly stop
