There were 21 Indiana Jones games before this year’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle debuted on December 9. I didn’t remember any of those prior games, and so you may forgive me for being skeptical early on about No. 22.

But after playing through this year’s game (which came out on the PC and Xbox Series X/S consoles) to its finish, I’m amazed at how much I enjoyed it. In fact, it’s easily my pick for Game of the Year. It a game full of stealth, action, story and exploration.
