Review: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants — An Extra Mystery Without Real Impact
CyberBoxTV 2 min read
Indiana Jones returns in The Order of Giants, a downloadable content expansion for The Great Circle that slightly extends the base game experience. However, the result doesn’t truly add anything significant beyond what feels like a longer side mission.
The story introduces a new mystery where Indy faces an Italian cult in search of an ancient artifact in Rome. This episode takes place during the first act of the main game and adds little value to the overall narrative, though it works as an entertaining distraction thanks to a series of well-crafted puzzles that encourage exploring catacombs and solving clever environmental mechanisms.
From a gameplay perspective, the DLC doesn’t bring any innovations. Aside from puzzles, players will face encounters that rely on stealth or hand-to-hand combat—a system that already felt dull in the base game and doesn’t improve here. Fortunately, these segments are less frequent.
When it comes to performances, Troy Baker and the rest of the voice cast deliver solid work, keeping the narrative engaging, even if the conclusion lacks the impact of the original story.
Ultimately, The Order of Giants is a decent diversion for those who wish to revisit the world of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Still, its $20 price tag feels questionable, especially since the expansion comes across more like cut content from the base game than a standalone experience worth returning for.
Final Score: 3/5
