Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review - Xbox Tavern
This is it; the big Xbox Holy Grail to send off 2024. We’ve heard it all before of course; Halo Infinite, Redfall, Starfield, Hellblade 2; all games that were to be the next big thing and turn Xbox’s fate around, and all games that – although mostly good to great – were met with issues and disappointment in one way or another.Well, in MachineGames we …
