Set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Nintendo Switch 2 is a first person, single player action adventure that sits in the same space as modern cinematic explorers like Uncharted and story led puzzlers with a bit of stealth and brawling. It comes from MachineGames (the recent Wolfenstein run), so expect confident pacing, punchy action, and a focus on set pieces rather than endless busywork.
Who is this for?
Best suited to players who want a globe trotting mystery with exploration and problem solving at the centre, rather than a pure shooter. The whip is more than fan service, it supports stealthy play by distracting guards, disarming them, or turning a fight in your favour. Levels mix tighter narrative sequences with broader areas, so you get room to poke around for clues without losing momentum.
