Journalists of different outlets shared their preliminary impressions of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. The game has been praised for its rich detail, and a simple interface that enhances immersion.

Sometimes, the combat will be melee-based. You won’t be able to "button mash" everything — you’ll need to parry their attacks, dodge, and combine your own strikes. Special attention seems to be given to stealth, as you can sneak up on enemies from behind and take them out silently.

It’s also mentioned that during platforming sections, the camera will switch to a third-person view, allowing you to see Indiana Jones himself, while combat sequences will be in first-person. The developers, who spoke with the press, stated that you won't be able to rely on your pistol too often, making the whip a crucial part of your arsenal. The levels in The Great Circle will range from linear to more open environments, filled with secrets to discover.

Skill upgrades are achieved through "adventure points", which are awarded for exploring the world. These points are important for overall progression and also provide motivation for thoroughly exploring locations and completing additional activities.
