With Indiana Jones and the Great Circle now on PS5, let's crown it the friendliest immersive sim yet and a celebration of muddling through
Former Xbox console exclusive Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now on PS5, and it's perfect for people who fancy a friendly take on the immersive sim genre
It’s easy to wind up in a cycle of quicksaves and quickloads as you steer toward the ‘right’ path through the game, rather than roll with the punches and allow for the magic of unexpected outcomes - the botched takedown that leads to a retreating swordfight and the discovery of a hidden shrine in a condemned house, for instance. The Great Circle makes it easier than ever to embrace the improvisation that fans of Dishonored and Dark Messiah have always loved - to bungle a stealth takedown and so find yourself hurling a spade into a man’s face, then shoving his fellow into a table, before desperately clambering onto a roof to dance between the rocks thrown by a growing crowd of Nazis. A procedurally generated scene that Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford might have come up with on the fly - just like the unexpected punchline that cuts short the sword fight in Raiders of the Lost Ark, conceived for the sake of a cast and crew overrun by dysentery.
