In Indiana Jones there are 2 out of 2, that is a kind of sign for me - "don't even try to start it, you will drop it halfway". But there are several things that should be pointed out - there is a big audience for this kind of games, especially on consoles, so the right move from #Microsoft. The graphics and physics are very impressive, it's really hard to distinguish it from the movie, and it still runs at 60fps on #XboxSeriesX - a great achievement by #MachineGames.

It's seriously amazing how this game performs. Since particularly the Vatican map is a bit heavy for my humble 5900X (replacement is already ordered), I ended up playing most of it in 4k native with DLAA, reaching surprisingly playable 45 to 60 fps with gorgeous image quality, looking more like a pre-rendered cutscene than a game.
Again: This is with path tracing, running on a high end GPU released over two years ago. What a time to be alive! #IndianaJonesAndTheGreatCircle #MachineGames

For some mysterious reason, I find it extremely hard today to work instead of continuing to play #IndianaJonesAndTheGreatCircle. What a magnificent game this is! #MachineGames did almost everything right, producing one of the, if not the best movie license game I've played to far. Apart from it being actually fun, it's a technical marvel: I've never seen such stable frame times in CPU limited scenarios, or a path tracer coming close to that performance. id tech keeps on giving!
