Game Length and Cutscenes
When asked about the game's duration, Torvenius stated that "by far, this is the biggest and longest game that Machine Games have ever done." Based on completion time estimates on HowLongToBeat, which considers Wolfenstein: The New Order as the studio's longest released game with a main story completion time of around 11.5 hours, it can be assumed that "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" will take at least 12 hours to beat the main story. However, Torvenius also mentioned that the game has "roughly three hours and 45 or 40 minutes" of cutscenes, indicating that the total playtime might be even longer. Watching all these cutscenes is equivalent to watching about 1.72 "Last Crusades," which is nearly two "Temples of Doom" in terms of time. This gives players an idea of the immersive experience they can expect.If you're short on time but still eager to experience Indy's adventures, you'll need to be quick at navigating ancient temples. But for those who have the time, it seems that the "Great Circle" won't disappoint.
The mechanic that allows Indy to avoid death by retrieving his hat and using it as a sort of lich-like phylactery is a profound addition to the game, adding an extra layer of strategy and excitement.
