Gamereactor: "Overall, I really enjoyed stepping into Indiana Jones' boots and being the thorn in the bad guys' sides, but at the same time pursuing my own interests - searching for treasures. Getting into trouble and surviving various traps were always highlights, as I had to combine instinct and reason to come up with a solution to resolve the situation. The plot is rarely the main thing for me in games, but playing as such an epic character, I was able to approach the adventure just like I would in old Indy movies: with the power of nostalgia. This game is a success, especially when you experience everything new, without knowing about the old movies."
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."
I returned the Xbox Series version of this game when I found out only 2/3 of the game was actually on the disc and you had to download the other 1/3 of the game.
I've just now learned that the PS5 version is even worse having only 20GB on a disc and requiring an Internet connection to download the other 105GB.
So, looks like I won't be getting either version of the game and am going to pass completely on the experience.
The Last of Us Part II is a two disc game. Final Fantasy VII Remake is a two disc game. I think I can handle double discs experiences when it means having to download any portion of the game left. This isn't the PSOne era and it's certainly not the Xbox 360 era. These days you install the game and then use one disc as your authentication to play the game (no disc swapping needed) but Xbox couldn't even do that so, I'm out. I'll play Uncharted instead. I'm not buying Indiana Jones at all then, on either console. And do the same the with Gears of War trilogy and I'll pass on that too. Digital only? I'll pass on that as well
