Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes its debut on the Switch 2 this week, and it delivers a truly authentic Indy adventure.

The reviews are now rolling in, and personally, we think the Nintendo version offers a “great” experience, awarding it 8 out of 10 stars. Here’s a quick sample from our written review, and you can see our video review at the bottom of this page.

“Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an authentic new franchise entry with a capable lead in Troy Baker. And despite taking the odd hit, the Switch 2 port holds its own admirably.”

So, what did other outlets have to say? Generally, the reviews are pretty positive so far:

Vooks – 4.5/5: “While the game’s mechanics are things we might have seen before, we’ve never seen Indiana Jones treated with this much respect for such a long time. MachineGames have nailed it, and the Switch 2 port shows that the age of the impossible port isn’t over, because you lose almost nothing by playing it here. We might not get another Indiana Jones movie again, but if we can get another Indy game as good as this, we’ll be just fine.”

GameReactor UK – 8/10: “The Great Circle on Nintendo Switch 2 continues to offer a pure Indiana Jones experience, where its successes in adapting to a less powerful system outweigh the limitations it faces.”

Nintendo Wire – 9/10: “Sure, there are some rough edges here and there. The UI can occasionally be frustrating, the enemy AI has some goofy moments, and the Switch 2 version obviously comes with a few technical concessions compared to the higher powered consoles. But honestly? None of those issues ever came close to ruining the experience… And somehow, one of the best Indiana Jones adventures in years ended up being a video game.”

CGM – 8/10: “Despite some sacrifices, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an impressive port on the Nintendo Switch 2 that is sure to please all but the most ardent framerate and resolution hardliners. It captures the fun and excitement of the films while maintaining the impressive qualities of its more beefed-up console brethren.”

NintendoWorldReport – 9/10: “The Switch 2 delivers this masterpiece nearly uncompromised. Its only the occasional stutter or low-resolution texture that gives away the game’s slimmed down form. Whether you’re delving into ancient ruins to solve puzzles, or introducing a nazi to the loving embrace of a sledgehammer, every moment of the Great Circle is absolute bliss.”
