Grab your gear, treasure hunters, because Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has just launched for the PS5, and if you’ve been looking for that chance to whip things into submission and solve the odd ancient mystery, the waiting is over. The game just snagged the DICE award for “Adventure Game of the Year”, and it’s going to be terrifically entrancing. In fact, you might want to set aside some time for this one-it’s that addictive.
If you want to lay its cards down on the table, what exactly are we talking about? If you’ve been hiding under a rock, it is a totally new adventure that puts players right in Indy’s fedora with an action-puzzle-global-galavanting kind of undying feel.
Since the game is being recognized by both critics and fans, it has opened its gates for the PS5 players. So no more FOMO-this is the new IN-D-EX, unless you still have that older-gen hardware; sorry?
What timing! The Adventure Game of the Year stamp from DICE counts for a ton toward really insisting this one be credible. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to feel like Indiana Jones once in a while? Swinging through pits, outsmarting the bad guys, maybe grabbing just one or two cursed artifacts, it is all on offer!
But what matters really is: How does it play on PS5? First-hand reports say that it ran as smooth as butter, with haptic feedback delivering a fun experience every time the whip cracked and ledge was grasped. The graphics? Stunning. Very much worthy of a “stop the game for a minute just to stare” brunch session.
Dated-it’s a new release, and hence, day-one patches will take care of any weird bugs with that-glitches of any sort are welcome companions to any adventure, right?
And for all of you who are still entirely undecided, the trailer is circulating (linking to the tweet, obviously), and there is enough to sell anyone. Ancient temples, high-speed chases, and of course: Nazis getting what they duly deserve. Classic Indy.
So yes: if you have a PS5 and an interest in adventure games at all, it’s a no-brainer. Grab your controller, dust off your fedora (unless, of course, you’re really committed), and prepare to uncover some secrets. Just don’t come whining to us when you’ve lost track of time-this one really is a rabbit hole in the best sense of the term.
Oh hey, if you’ve finished the game already, post your thoughts right here. How does it stack up against other Indy games? Is it worth the hype? Or is it more of an “It belongs in a museum!” in our opinion? Either way, the adventure’s here, so get prepared for an introspective dive.
