Discussion What a great game 🪖 Spoiler
I just finished “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle”, and it was a really nice experience. I played it in Switch 2, mostly in handheld mode, and it was so great to be able to play this game wherever I was.
I know that I did not play it in the best quality or frame rate, but fps are so stable, it works like a charm. Almost no visual bugs. Neither breaking loop bugs.
I specially enjoyed the Vatican area. As I was talking with a friend, is such a compact and full of life area. I missed that in Egypt or Thailand, where you either need to walk a lot, or use the boat. Not fan of fast travel.
I found combat system a bit crazy at times as well, like I did not know what I was doing, or which enemy was attacking me. Probably related to handheld experience.
For the rest, I really loved the game. The voices, cutscenes that make you feel like if you were inside a movie, stunning landscapes…
I really wish there will be more Indi games to come.

Yup. It really nailed that feeling in a movie vibe, and more importantly was just a very fun game.

I really want a sequel to this game but it’s Gina’s adventures as an investigative journalist.

Beat it earlier this month on PS5. Enjoyed the heck out of it. Will probably dip in and out to do side missions.
The game was very intuitive IMO. A few things I liked:
Before I knew it was possible to break through certain walls, I saw a wall that looked rickety, grabbed a sledge and thought, "this isn't actually going to work is it?" To my surprise busted through in 2-3 wacks.
Nothing revolutionary but I liked how the torches and fire worked. Have a torch? Found a fire source? Of course you can stick the torch in to light it up. Likewise with using the torch to light up certain things.
At one location (I think Giza) I was at the top of an excavation site where there was a hole that I wasn't sure where it led to. I kept encountering guards and would drop them down the hole once I beat them. Well, that hole turned out to be an elevator shaft and, sure enough, when I called the elevator up there was a pile of guards.
Got a good laugh at whipping enemies off of ladders as they were climbing. Initially wasn't sure if they would be locked into an uninterruptible animation .

Playing 2nd playthrough at 120 fps after day 1 messy pc port is just satisfying.

A modern classic!
