Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Finished Indiana Jones
Really enjoyed Indiana Jones. As I've said before, I was very surprised by how much the point-and-click game felt like that—sometimes I genuinely got the feeling that this was what they really wanted to do back in the day but didn't have the technology for. Got me thinking a bit about the Myst remake, I think that's what it is, where they've now built the same game that was previously pre-rendered but now everything is done in real-time. Very puzzle-heavy and collectible if you're into that sort of thing. There's some action but you can often choose how you handle it. You can sneak and take out everyone one by one, you can disguise yourself and just run past most of them, or you can go in guns blazing. I think many people would appreciate it much more than they think. Then it does so much that I like—history, religion, killing some Nazis and fascists. I really like how they switched languages everywhere, in a single cutscene it could be English, German, Italian, and Latin. It looks much better than everyone just speaking English with different dialects. A detail that I really liked and made the world so much more alive. Another thing I like that has become so standard in this type of game mixing action and puzzles is that there are different difficulty levels, so if you want you can just run past all the enemies, but you don't get a marker for where to go and really have to think for yourself with all the puzzles. Or the opposite if you'd rather have harder enemies but easy puzzles. Don't know if it was worth 100% really, but I absolutely think you should put the game on your list of games to maybe at least try some rainy day in 15 years when the backlog is empty. Very nice-looking game too if you have the hardware for it. 9/10 I almost have to say considering how hard I've had to tear myself away.
