"Despite some issues and some weird ideas on how to jump between 1st and 3rd person the exploration and setpeices are amazing.
Areajugones - Ramón Baylos - Spanish - 9.2 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle stands as one of the best video games of 2024 and living proof that MachineGames is a studio that knows how to move skillfully in environments different from those we've been accustomed to in the past. It's an adventure/action game that places special emphasis on the first element and strives to make you feel like Harrison Ford himself in front of the cameras. There's no better Indiana Jones game. This must finally be its Holy Grail.
But Why Tho? - Kate Sanchez - 8 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle does what this franchise has always done best. It takes the theft of a seemingly unimportant artifact and thrusts Indy into cataclysmic mystery and makes sure that charismatic man shines. Punch Nazis, celebrate history, explore the world and then save it. What more could you ask for?
CGMagazine - Justin Wood - 7 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes a strong attempt to bring Indy back to gaming with a great narrative and exceptional puzzles, but its minute-to-minute gameplay suffers from frequent perspective changes and clunky combat.
Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - 9 / 10
In a love letter to the character, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle proposes that the series' future isn't in film but in video games.
Daily Mirror - Aaron Potter - 4 / 5
Coupled with several jaw-dropping set pieces and puzzles that left me scratching my head just enough that it never became annoying, this is about as enjoyable an Indiana Jones experience as one could hope for.
Daily Star - Tom Hutchison - 4.5 / 5
The Great Circle is a strong first-person adventure video game, packed full of Indiana Jones tropes and humour. It really delivers on its promise of giving gamers a true 80s-style playable version of the movies.
Digitec Magazine - Philipp Rüegg - German - 5 / 5
For 32 years, Lucas Arts' “Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis” has been considered the best game adaptation of the legendary film series. This honor is now due to “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle”. Machine Games succeeds in perfectly capturing the sense of adventure, charm and wit of Harrison Ford's famous character.
Eurogamer - Katharine Castle - 5 / 5
Smart, fun and so very Indiana Jones, The Great Circle is a stealth action tour de force that marks a bold new era for MachineGames.
Everyeye.it - Alessandro Bruni - Italian - 8.8 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle is an action adventure of great depth, well worthy of the name it bears. Moving away from its “shooter” comfort zone, MachineGames has built a fresh and engaging adventure, embellished with a maniacal attention to detail and supported by a palpable passion for the original material.
Game Rant - Anthony Taormina - 8 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers some of the best puzzling and tomb-raiding in a video game, matching Spielberg's films in many respects.
GameOnly - Daniel Kucner - Polish - 8.5 / 10

GameSpot - Richard Wakeling - 9 / 10
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle takes an unexpectedly stealthy and freeform approach, making for a faithful, rip-roaring adventure in which you truly embody the famous archeologist.
Gamepressure - Dariusz Matusiak - 7 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from MachineGames studio is a true love letter to fans of the original film trilogy. It's a bit like the fourth Indy movie - and I don't mean Crystal Skull, just the film fans have always wanted.
Gamer Guides - Tom Hopkins - 79 / 100
If you can look past the clunky and out-of-place combat, The Great Circle is a great addition to Indy’s catalogue of adventures. While it shines in the traditionally linear puzzle-solving segments thanks to charismatic characters and wonderful design, the open-world asides make you feel like you’re on your own adventure, too.
Gamer.no - Andreas Gjøsæther Jensen - Unknown - 9 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a wholly enjoyable adventure. While it's not the first time players get to step into the shoes of the good doctor, this is the first time an Indy game has left me with a feeling that's actually comparable to the movies.
Gamers Heroes - Johnny Hurricane - 85 / 100
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle goes to show that MachineGames has an eye for fortune and glory. Not only is this title another great addition to Xbox Game Pass, it’s an absolute must for fans of the infamous Indy.
Gamersky - 心灵奇兵 - Chinese - 8.8 / 10
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an excellent example of how to adapt a popular film IP into a video game, delivering a solid and engaging adventure that truly captures the essence of stepping into the shoes of the legendary archaeologist himself. While the game excels in many areas, it doesn't quite reach its full potential due to issues with its guidance system, a somewhat underwhelming overall scope, and a lackluster conclusion. Still, for players who value adventure over action, this is a journey well worth taking.
