“Indiana Jones And The Great Circle” (PlayStation 5 Edition) Review

 

In 2006, when the TV show 24 was in its fifth season, one of my fellow game journalists told me he’d gotten an opportunity to play the video game 24: The Game weeks before it came out. When I asked him how it was, he said something along the lines of, “Yeah, it’s good.”

But then he asked if I was a fan of the show, and when I said I was, he got very excited. “Oh, then it’s really good,” he exclaimed, “It totally feels like an episode of the show.”

This is the same reaction I’d give anyone who asks me about Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, which is now available on PlayStation 5 after first coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC. While it may not be what you want from a game starring the eminent Dr. Jones, it’s a great recreation of everything we love about his movies.

The Best Video Games Of 2024

 

Just as 2022 wasn’t as good a year for video games as 2023, so too was 2024 not as good a year for them as 2023.

Which isn’t to say there wasn’t anything worth playing this year.

Here, in the order I played them, are my favorite games of 2024.

“Indiana Jones And The Great Circle” Review

 

Much like with Star Trek, The Lord Of The Rings, and The Matrix, there have been way more video games influenced by the Indiana Jones movies than there have been games where you get to be Indiana Jones.

But while Indiana Jones And The Great Circle (Xbox Series X|S, PC) somewhat balances the scales, fans of the adventurous archeologist are forewarned: While this is faithful to Indy’s early films, it’s actually more like Indiana Jones And Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull and Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny in that it may not be what fans are expecting, or hoping for, but it is still a fun adventure.
