Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Feels Perfect on the PS5

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle might have started as an Xbox Series X and PC exclusive, but the PS5 version feels absolutely perfect. The DualSense support is really fantastic. The appearance is great. It just feels like it’s worth your time to consider it on this console if you haven’t already played it yet. First, I love how Indiana Jones and the Great Circle looks on a PS5. I primarily played on a standard version of the console, but did visit a friend to try it on a Pro as well. The lighting, textures, and ray-tracing are all incredible on both iterations of the system. So much so that usually I do up the brightness beyond recommended levels in games to ensure I see everything, but I didn’t need that here because of the quality. Everything was really crisp and clear. On top of that, it even ran perfectly, and I didn’t notice either the PS5 or PS5 Pro experiencing issues with keeping things at 60fps with no lag. It’s just a solid and reliable experience. However, what really sold me on the PS5 version of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the DualSense controller support. Usually, I forget about the lightbar on it. I just don’t care about it! It doesn’t usually affect my gaming experience. It does here! If you look down at it, it will show valuable information at a glance. Since stealth is a big deal here, having it turn yellow if an NPC knows I’m around is so handy. So is being able to see if it is red, telling me I’m in the danger zone after deciding stealth isn’t for me. Especially since I absolutely and repeatedly rolled up to altercations, whip swinging, in fights with multiple enemies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxIzXnmNCKI&ab_channel=PlayStation There are still some elements of the games that I feel wear out their welcome a tad. I do wish there was more freedom to handle early encounters however I’d like, as stealth feels like a less necessary approach once you get further into the game. Considering how few situations do completely force that type of approach, I really appreciated after I got through about the first fourth of the game and could really play however I’d like. Guns also still don’t feel like the optimal way to play. Also, I didn’t get to test out one of the other PS5 exclusive elements that might prove handy for others coming to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It supports the Community Game Help feature. I’ve used it in other games to solve puzzles or find collectibles. It could be good here too! We’ll see, I suppose. If you did already play and beat Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, then I think you’re safe not buying the PS5 version and replaying it. The core experience is still the same, after all. But if you didn’t catch it at the end of last year on an Xbox Series X or PC, it is absolutely worth getting now. The features present work well, and there is value in the enhancements here. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. The post Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Feels Perfect on the PS5 appeared first on Siliconera.
