Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's Nintendo Switch 2 port is finally here and it holds up pretty well
Eurogamer • • technology
Key Points:
- The Nintendo Switch 2 port of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle delivers a solid experience, maintaining much of the visual quality seen on PC and current-gen consoles, despite some reductions in shadow quality, draw distance, and ray tracing features.
- The game runs steadily at 30 FPS, suitable for its slower pace, though occasional frame drops and loading hiccups can occur in busy areas, especially in handheld mode where image softness is more noticeable.
- Gyro controls and Joy-Con 2 mouse functionality are included, with mouse aiming providing smooth and responsive gameplay, enhancing item collection and throwing mechanics.
- While the port is impressive overall, the Order of the Giants DLC is sold separately, which may disappoint some players expecting a complete package.
- Bethesda Softworks continues to improve its Switch 2 ports, following mixed receptions of previous titles like Skyrim and Fallout 4, with this release showcasing Nintendo's hybrid console capabilities effectively.
