I hope you like Indiana Jones and that you haven’t had enough with the five movies of the saga, because MachineGames promises that it will be their longest game by far. And does that mean anything specifically? Well, considering that they are behind the modern Wolfenstein and Quake games, it means we’re going to spend a good handful of hours among whips, Nazis, hats, and good adventure.
Oh, help me, doctor Jones
Specialized in games about killing Nazis (a theme more than necessary in these times we are living), MachineGames promises that this time we will have at least twenty hours of gameplay, considering that the Wolfenstein could easily be fifteen and this is “by far, the longest” they have made. But personally, in the last interview they gave, I am left with another piece of information.
And the thing is, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will have four hours of cutscenes, or in other words, like two of its movies combined. Let’s hope the story is really good and not more like the recently released fifth installment. We will know very soon, though: it will be released on Xbox and PC on December 9th, although it will probably achieve mainstream success when it comes to PS5 at the beginning of next year, already with fame and critical acclaim.
Four hours of cutscenes, dozens of puzzles to solve (which we can leave to repeat later) and a good handful of hours of fun and straightforward gameplay, killing Nazis everywhere? Sounds like the type of game for which this industry was invented. And if not, we can always go back to the beginning of the saga with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Well, in fact, there’s no need to play something that doesn’t convince us. There are things that always go down well.
