Indiana Jones and the Great Circle delivers plenty of Nazi-punching catharsis, but brainy exploration is its real superpower.
Indiana Jones and the Great Cicle MSRP $70.00 Score Details “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a Nazi-punching good time with some surprising brains behind it.” Pros Cons Table of Contents In Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, the best way to deal with a Nazi is to tear them limb from limb. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle walks a different path; it finds catharsis in humiliation.
To a pulp Set after Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle kicks off when a mysterious giant man breaks into Marshall College and steals a priceless, though seemingly random, artifact. Indiana Jones gives chase, a journey that takes him across the world as he uncovers a larger conspiracy involving his Nazi rival Emmerich Voss and a series of stone artifacts in sites that line up to form a “great circle” around the Earth.
One touch I appreciate is the multilingual approach Machinegames takes. This isn’t the kind of game where you go to Egypt and find everyone speaking perfect English. When Indiana Jones is in Italy, the Blackshirts speak Italian. As a seasoned world traveler, Jones can both understand them and speak a bit of the language.
Thankfully, those sequences only make up a very small part of what’s an otherwise brainy take on the genre. The Great Circle plays like a mix between Dishonored and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. It’s a first-person stealth game that’s just as much about exploration and deduction as it is thrilling set pieces.
Each of these non-combat systems sells The Great Circle’s central theme better than its script. Indiana Jones finds himself in a race against the Nazis to hunt down a handful of powerful artifacts. Voss and his army have time and power on their side, but Jones and his companions have the brainpower that the Third Reich lacks. It’s a story about combating ruthless aggression with wit. Deduction becomes a superpower, and wielding it effectively is all it takes to stay one step ahead of fascism.
The Third Reich’s legacy will always be interlinked with images of Nazi soldiers having their junk smashed in with rakes.
