Machine Games has revealed the latest Indiana Jones game, and it feels like a solid throwback to the PS2 and PS3 blockbuster games of old.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's stealth mechanics will be much deeper than Wolfenstein's, with MachineGames giving "player choice."
A little stealth would make sense but he always ended up in a big fight so too much doesn’t fit for me.
Shaz from GL: “Amidst recent concerns surrounding Xbox, Phil and Co. need a win. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be it.”
When it comes to video game previews I’m of the opinion that journalists should maintain a position of CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM. Yes, note and share concerns about the game with readers but maintain a restrained optimistic stance until actually having reviewed it so that any negativity is based on the game’s quality and not the author’s prejudices.
Here the author writes “ I’m going to continue to keep my cynicisms intact, less so because of my trust in MachineGames and more so due to the dumpster fire that continues to be modern-day Xbox.” This example illustrates the need to follow this guidance.
Not worried about facial animations , but I do hope the gameplay is fun . Most definitely I will purchase this on PS5, if the gameplay is fun .
nice hit piece. I notice the writer didn't mention any of the journalists / creators who had good things to say. From what i hear, it has riddick: escape from butcher bay in its DNA. To me that sounds like something to be Optimistic about rather than pessimistic.
It’s odd to have a first person perspective for an adventure game with stealth and brawling. But’s not without precedent. Wolfenstein: New Order and Wolfenstein: New Colossus had a lot of adventure game elements. They were in the league of the greatest games ever, but they were both fun games. Indy looks fun too.
Yes, Indy looks like Todd Howard. Something feels way too off.
IGN : Indiana Jones and the Great Circle strongly reminded of another game the developers at MachineGames once created: the Vin Diesel-starring original-Xbox classic, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Indy absolutely screams Riddick – in the very best of ways – and because of that, The Great Circle went from something on my most-anticipated list to being far and away the game I’m most looking forward to playing this year.
Hopefully we get to see/play this demo ourselves. The lack of any proper gameplay footage is concerning, not that i have any doubt about Machine Games delivering the game,it's just..alarming to say the least.
Assuming what we have seen is partial gameplay it looks pretty jank for an FPS game. Reminds me of a bad VR game.

i agree its 15-20 years too late, i played a really good version in the arcade, had the mining cart fight which was so good, but the 1st person here looks really akward and it doesnt look like much fun
Looks amazing to me
From the article: "The trailer depicts glossy visuals, highly detailed character models and environments, and a promising homage to John Williams’ work from composer Gordy Haab."
So, it certainly doesn't 'look' dated, does it?
The title should've been worded in a better way .. than the current clickbait-y one ...
Looks fine to me. I'm looking forward to it.
I was initially looking forward to hearing more about this, but that anticipation died immediately upon seeing a clip of a woke developer say that this game was being made for a modern audience.
Instant rubbish.
It would be funny if gaming journalism became dated. Gaming journalism from the 1990s and 2000s was so much better than it is now.
