Indiana Jones & The Revenge Bedtime Procrastination

An unwelcome mat of depression has flapped before my feet this week.

An unwelcome mat of depression has flapped before my feet this week.

Spelunking into dimly lit caverns of the Vatican and beating the snot out of fascists has been holding the candle high enough for me. I know what I'm missing in my daily do. Pretty sure I'm missing secrets in The Great Circle though.

I'll be fine, truly. I'm just going to be sleepy tomorrow.

Visual and audio splendor hushes me with awe. Bakers performance is lightning in a bottle.

Even visiting Indy's classroom was an unexpected leap of excitement.

It's difficult knowing the playthrough will eventually come to an end. Surely, with a showing like this, Indiana's adventures must continue!

I've finally purchased my new PC's holy grail and am feeling nervous to play it.

Rewatching Raiders of the Lost Ark tonight really underscores what an absolute triumph The Great Circle was. They just nailed it.

Absolutely one of the best games to come out in the last 5 years.

The DLC was a complete dissapointment.

I really liked the base game, but the ' 'The Order of the Giants' has a dissapointing story, it mostly make us run through Roma's sewers that are boring as hell to look at and doesn't have new mechanics or surprises.

I really liked the base game, but the ' 'The Order of the Giants' has a dissapointing story, it mostly make us run through Roma's sewers that are boring as hell to look at and doesn't have new mechanics or surprises.

I liked most of the new puzzles. The serpent water maze and the gladiators route were great and the constellation one had my brain very busy for a while, but that's it.

It seems like a 'Mystery' that was basically a "sewer level" (and we know how good those tend to be) was cut from the main game and MachineGames expanded it into a full DLC. It's really not great and left a sour taste in a really good game for me.

This game is surprisingly meaty. I expected a linear first-person Uncharted but instead I got Dishonored-lite. Not complaining tho, I'm having a blast so far. Currently in Gizeh, it was fun trying to look for all the movie references. The combat is simple but really good. It was scrappy and frantic, had to improvise on-the-fly a lot just like in …

This game is surprisingly meaty. I expected a linear first-person Uncharted but instead I got Dishonored-lite. Not complaining tho, I'm having a blast so far. Currently in Gizeh, it was fun trying to look for all the movie references. The combat is simple but really good. It was scrappy and frantic, had to improvise on-the-fly a lot just like in the movies. My biggest gripe would be that I cannot disable the hud. Why bother making diagetic in-game map, journal notes and upgrade menus if I can't even disable health bar and stamina bar?

If it was a movie it would have been better. Better than Kingdom of Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny. It's like far cry / indiana jones. Sadly it's repetative and boring most of the time. Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb still better ; )

Finally saw the end of Indiana Jones. And man, I know I'm biased towards this franchise, but Great Circle was firing on all cylinders.

  • Great adventure that takes you around the globe with a fun mystery & big finisher.

Finally saw the end of Indiana Jones. And man, I know I'm biased towards this franchise, but Great Circle was firing on all cylinders.

  • Great adventure that takes you around the globe with a fun mystery & big finisher.

  • Baker does a great Indy impression, down to the mannerisms

  • The Indy style humor is on point

  • The relationship between Indy & Gina is fun. Gina always has this cute look of interested & confused when Indy starts talking history.

  • The Nazi bad guys arent one-note, they're goofy but still threatening.

  • Once you get the combat, the fights are fun, chaotic, & scrappy.

It's the closest to playing an Indy movie, and my be my favorite Indy game. I just really want to gush endlessly about this game.

This is a 5/5 game, but because its Xbox Exclusive I need to drop it to 4/5 to push the narrative that Xbox has no good exclusives. Check me in a few months when this launches on PS5 so I could give it the score it deserves.

You gotta get all the ancient artifacts and solve the Iraq vault puzzle with them, because after you do so you get a cutscene and find out where the Ark went!
