I've played three hours of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and it nails the films' whip-cracking sense of adventure


After three hours with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, we came away impressed by how well developer MachineGames has captured the spirit of the films.

Right from its introductory chapter, The Great Circle opens with a wonderful recreation of Marshall College, the place where Indiana Jones teaches wannabe archaeologists when he's not off stealing weird things that have been supposedly touched by Jesus or something. Watch on YouTube It's during this opening chapter that we also get introduced to the game's potential villain: Locus, who's played by Tony Todd from Candyman fame (although I wouldn't be surprised if there's a twist there and he ends up being a good guy, he just has that kind of vibe). In typical open-world fashion, Indy has a main objective to follow - head to a blue tent to meet a contact called Dame Nawal - but it's up to the player if they want to do that straight away or just go off to find some tombs to explore.
