Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is fantastic. It’s like playing a really great Indiana Jones movie. And Troy Baker is eerily good as Indy. Five stars.

I loved throwing the sledge at fascist's heads. Made a wonderful noise. My son and I both laughed out loud when I discovered that you could throw them.
Ha, I was going to pace myself to one achievement a day....I couldn't. It's a bit klunky in character movement compared to other games but it's still a great time.
The amount of love that has gone into this game really shows, but also I'm not going to lie I really don't enjoy walking around for an hour only to go into rooms to have 1v1 boxing matches. I got past the Vatican and went to the pyramid stuff, and the pacing is just not there. I put it down
I'm addition to all that, I found the writing and designs to be inspired. Bringing in linguistics into the story, plus those little missions that build impressive moments (e.g. the one with the sounds and statues), made it a total Indy experience!
Hey Kumail, I know I’m late to the party but Vanity Fair just listed the best rom-coms of all time and The Big Sick is on it! Watched it last night for the first time (7 years late😵💫) and loved it! Thanks for making it!!
I'm saving it to play with my best friend who comes to visit once a year. Last year we played Robocop and it was really disappointing, so I'm glad to hear Indy has your endorsement.
I don’t play video games but I’m glad it’s a hit with you & others… the last movie (Dial of Destiny) was so disappointing, anything good still left in the franchise has got to be worth celebrating.
My community and I are only just off to Egypt, but the whole package so far has been excellent!
I can tell it’s not Harrison Ford - but I forget it’s Troy, which is half the battle with such a prolific voice. His panicked noises when doing parkour keep giving me the giggles.
I find myself going much slower than I normally would. The detail, Easter eggs and puzzles have reconditioned me to slow down and enjoy the experience.
💯 one of the best games I've ever played. I wish it was longer, but I think on balance it is probably better to be left wanting more than to get tired of it
And it’s neat because Baker isn’t doing a Harrison Ford impression, he’s doing an Indiana Jones impression. I hope that makes sense to people if they haven’t heard it.
I’m glad you are enjoying it but the footage I’ve seen creeps me out every bit as much as that horrible Peter Cushing avatar in Rogue One that removed every trace of the man and left only a husk
He keeps saying they'll "sleep it off" or "have a headache when they wake up." Indy, you just bashed their skulls in with a shovel. We both know none of them are ever waking up.
“Oh cool you can crouch and sneak through a hole and go around behind the Nazis.”
Orrrrr, grab a lead pipe and knock their brains out….
And once that captain blows his whistle, I’m swinging left and right.
"And Troy Baker is eerily good as Indy."
Right?! At first I was just 'Aw balls, they used AI didn't they.' then looked it up and nope. What the what Troy Baker?! Fantastic vocal mannerism mimicry too.
Delighted to see you here on Bluesky, gave you an immediate follow. Your appearance on "Murderville" is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. Really happy to be able to tell you that. "Laugh out loud" funny stuff. Kudos to you, sir.
They're totally screwing themselves by making it non exclusive. Microsoft is literally incompetent. They own enough in gaming to put Sony in a choke hold. Not like Sony is making Spiderman or infamous cross platform.
Absolutely the breakthrough in gaming for 2024. The technology is off the charts, the graphics are unreal and as you said Troy Baker is really good. ( Wasn't sure was gonna like him as Indy).
i like the setting in Italy. I'm from Spain, but my dad's side is directly Italian. A few of my great-relatives served in the resistance against Mussolini.
Baker did an amazing job at mimicking Ford's voice. He often focused so much on that part of it that he didn't emote much. It's a give or take on that one - but it's still a great game by all accounts.
Troy Baker is an amazing voice actor. The credits behind the scenes stuff from Bioshock: Infinite is amazing. There’s also some old YouTube video of him doing voices he didn’t actually do and he’s so convincing.
Yes, I couldn't believe it was Troy when I saw the credits. Very convincing for the most part. Excellent game. Hope they get to make some more of them at the same level of quality.
I had a lot of fun with that game as well. I have trouble playing side missions after I've beat the main story, but I might go back to the ones I missed. Agree about Troy, what a legend!
Will enjoy it more once it's had a few patches on PC. Weird stuff with NPC behavior, DLSS and frame rate drops, Alt-Tab frame rate drops, etc. ... was a console-first title, and it shows. Poor showing from a major publisher like Bethesda, again.
I’m talking about the game here. Life does not allow you to choose your difficulty😭. Just do your best, and ‘fake it until you make it’ works more than you think.

I would play it immediately, for now I have to hold out hope that it will be or will get a mod.
I am 42 living in Karachi, Pakistan almost and no one at my age plays it.
PS- Watching Silicon Valley at this very moment. Love your character in it 💯

But yes, this game's really good, including for those viewing, not watching.
Every game should have a random moment where you can hit a Nazi with a shovel. I don’t care if it’s Pac-Man, just put it in there!
Xbox just had a series X product placement in creature commandos
Creature commandos is in the DCU
Kumail cast as Batman confirmed
I was amazed.

"Beating up fascists with a hammer" he responds.
If that's the ONE message he takes from this game it's worth ten times whatever I paid for him to have that game.
Great game!
Playing Ark Survivor Ascendent right now.
