We got a close look at Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that shows off what sets MachineGames' adventure from game series like Uncharted.
This story is part of our Summer Gaming Marathon series. Creating an Indiana Jones video game is a daunting task. It’s not just that you have to honor an iconic film franchise that fans are very protective of; you also need to make it stand out from Uncharted, a beloved series that is already ostensibly a thinly veiled Indiana Jones adaptation. It’s a challenge, but one that MachineGames seems to have cracked with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
There’s some familiar gameplay here. I saw Jones shimmy up walls and do some platforming through tombs, not unlike Nathan Drake . A thrilling opening sequence sees him escaping a tomb that slowly fills up with sand, running and sliding as rocks collapse around him. However, the gameplay presentation stresses that The Great Circle is much more unique in a way that feels fitting for Indiana Jones.
In fact, The Great Circle looks less like Uncharted and more like Hitman at times. There are immersive sim touches to it that stand out. For instance, Jones can don disguises to break into locked areas. Some levels allow for some open-ended approaches, too. In a clip exclusive to the press presentation, I saw Jones infiltrate a tomb. Three guards stand outside of it.
