Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is out on Steam and the Xbox Store (in early access). The game is still missing path tracing (full ray-tracing) which is expected to land with the launch patch tomorrow. In the meantime, we’ve tested all the graphics options including RTXGI (Ray Traced Global Illumination) which can’t be disabled.
If you didn’t catch Indiana Jones and the Great Circle at the end of last year on an Xbox Series X or PC, the PS5 version is worth it.
The PS5 and PS5 Pro ports of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle lack much in the way of new features - but the game is still golden.
Port? I mean, it's a multi-console game that was just delayed for one of the consoles. If the next COD was a timed exclusive you wouldn't call it a port would you?
"Port" has been casually used like DF is doing here for some time. It's pretty innocuous, even if doing a 'port job' from PC/Xbox architecture to PlayStation architecture isn't the arduous task it used to be. Just take the title for what it is: MachineGames didn't rush to get this version out (according to DF).
I don’t think we need to get too pedantic about the use of the word port, the word itself is not a pejorative, it’s a bad port that is deserving of criticism. If a game is released on a platform after the release on other platforms, and was not developed in tandem with them, then it’s a port.
This was my personal GOTY on PC. I wish more game companies would use ID Tech 7 or 8 for their games and just abandon Unreal Engine 5 and any future ones from Epic.
You’re missing out. The 1st person perspective is better suited for exploring the detailed environments, and helps you get the best view possible of the puzzles..
Press Start: "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle delivers both high calibre adventure, story and performance in spades, to the point it feels as though it’s wading into “uncharted territory” for its publisher. The decision to bop a Nazi should be a foregone conclusion, however the lack of balance in stealth and combat systems kept me in limbo, and left Indiana Jones and the Great Circle just a stone stele’s throw from true greatness."
