Indiana Jones is a character that needs no introduction. Despite inspiring archaeological epics like Tomb Raider, Unchartered and Crash Bandicoot, his own history of video games is a little spotty. Ignoring all that, The Great Circle is the first new Indiana Jones game in decades that isn’t made of Lego and plays out like a lost film.
Set between the events of 1981’s Raiders Of The Lost Ark and 1989’s The Last Crusade, The Great Circle sees Indy trying to get over his break-up with Marion by diving headfirst into trouble. It starts out simply enough, with Indy trying to retrieve a mummified cat that’s stolen from Marshall College by a giant, but things escalate. The whip-cracking academic quickly finds himself trying to stop the mythical power of The Great Circle, which links together a number of equally legendary historic sites, from falling into the hands of Adolf Hitler and smarmy Nazi archaeologist Emmerich Voss. It’s a tomb-raiding quest that takes you around the world but starts with something very familiar.
