Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review

[@Strazman]

A successful film franchise --> many years later, two successful game franchises surrounding a similar genre (Tomb Raider and Uncharted) --> many years later, a successful game based on the movie franchise that started it all. You could almost say this has come around....full circle?.....or even.....a great....circle???

I don't know if it's KZbin video compression, or the fact that this video is uploaded at 1080P, but the clothing textures look very dated. Indy's suit jacket, which you will see a lot in 3rd person view, looks very undetailed and low-res textured. This is not what I was expecting given how demanding the game is to run on PC. Is this console game footage?

I can't wait for them to bring this game to PS5, but even after watching gameplay and review videos I still stand strongly that the game should have been capable of playing in 3rd person. It's silly to me that they have certain action sequences in 3rd person, climbing, swinging, quicktime events but you can't play fully like that. I wish more studios would take direction from Bethesda in that department, where they make the game playable in both perspectives.

[@cmdrflint9115]

Honestly I worried the same thing, but after playing five hours or so, I’m finding it’s not an issue, it switches to 3rd person so seamlessly in the parts where you naturally want it in 3rd person, that it just feels right, at least to me.
