Indiana Jones and the Great Circle uses first-person camera angles to create a "unique experience" that you won't find in other action-adventure games like Uncharted or Tomb Raider.
In an interview with Lucasfilm, the upcoming game's director, Jerk Gustafsson, discussed the studio's decision to make Indie's adventure a first-person experience. "First-person gameplay is part of MachineGames’ DNA, and we wanted to see how we could use this to create a really immersive experience around stepping into the shoes of the world’s most famous archaeologist," the director explained.
