This isn’t just my Game of the Year—I’d argue it’s a contender for my Greatest of All Time (will be determined when I finish the game). I can’t stress enough how incredible this game is. It feels fresh and exhilarating, with a level of polish and attention to detail that makes it an absolute joy to play. The game engine performs flawlessly, and the entire experience is a technical and artistic triumph. [Playing on PC RTX 4090]
Troy’s voice acting deserves special mention—not because he reinvents the character, but precisely because he doesn’t. It feels like Harrison Ford himself stepped into the recording booth, and that fidelity to the iconic Indiana Jones persona is one of the game’s most refreshing wins. Equally deserving of praise is the entire voice cast, who bring every character to life with depth and authenticity.
The environments are breathtaking you can practically feel the weight of Indy’s discovery and danger in every adventure. The audio design is a standout as well, with every whip crack, punch, creaking door, and echoing footstep perfectly tuned to draw you further into the adventure with a exceptional call out to how sound carries through large rooms or chambers.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a triumph of storytelling, gameplay, and world-building. Developers and publishers should take note: this is the gold standard for how to craft an unforgettable gaming experience.
