Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the 2024 action-adventure game from MachineGames and Bethesda Softworks that has been described by some critics as being the best adventure that Harrison Ford's iconic archaeologist has been on in over 30 years, will no longer be exclusive to Xbox and Windows PCs as early as next month, according to a new report that claims the game will be headed to PS5 consoles in late April.

I recently got access to the game through Steam Family library sharing, which I'm pretty happy about. Between what @Peter_Brosdahl and another friend have said about the game, I'm looking forward to getting around to it, which I plan to do sometime this year. I got other games ahead of it in the queue that I need to handle first. But I've been extremely interested in what MachineGames has done with this game, and their custom version of idTech 7.

My only recommendation to anyone doing a 1st run is to stick to the main missions and if still interested you can always go back to the side stuff later. Some will be out of context but still available to complete. My 1st run I approached it with my normal completionist mentality and didn't enjoy as much while I switched it up for the 2nd run and it was far more immersive and better paced.
 
I really wanted to like this game. But I'm sensitive to FPS games, and some (not all) can give me severe headaches and even make me nauseous. This is one of those games. I cannot play this for more than 30 minutes without getting a splitting headache. I didn't have problems with 3rd person games like Uncharted or Tomb Raider series.

I think the last game that hurt my head this bad was Bulletstorm. Wanted to like it, made myself sick every time I tried.

I'm glad I didn't drop the $70 for this game (even more glad not the $100 super duper version) but it was a gift from my wife and I feel bad she wasted her money.

Why aren't there game demos anymore? I watched the reviews and some play vids on YT and didn't have issues.
 
This game reminds me of Codename Eagle, and that's not a good thing. It was a WW1 game way behind its time, like this one seems to me. A game that I would find to be fine if it came out 15 years ago. The mechanics, the level design, the way the narrative is constructed all feel archaic to me. Maybe that is why some like it, but I'm not a fan of nostalgia. I'd rather play the original game than a new game trying to be like an old game. IDK if this is trying to be like an old FPS, or just happens to come across like that, but the result is the same.
 
I do admit that some of the mechanics were a bit odd. I can't remember right now but I know there was something where I was constantly hitting the wrong button instinctively and kept thinking I should try to re-map but never did.

This happens to me, in general, with most games if I'm exhausted or not feeling my best to begin with. Sadly, it is very common at the end of a work day or work week.
