    Two Giant Men Play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
    Jun 26 2025

    Finally, after a belated PS5 release, we dive deep into MachineGames' 2024 GOTY contender Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The first half is spoiler-free, then the second half goes deeper into the story with some fun bonus nonsense to boot (wait until you hear Matthew's pitch for The Fugitive tie-in game).


    This week's music is from the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle soundtrack by Gordy Haab.
