Before Googling for a guide in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, give the in-game hint system a try: It’s genuinely the best one I’ve ever seen in a game

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle features an innovative in-game hint system accessible through the protagonist's camera, unlocked early in the Vatican open-world zone.

My number one piece of advice for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle players is to do each zone’s main quest first to unlock game-changing upgraded disguises as early as possible

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle features trial-and-error stealth mechanics that can frustrate players, especially as enemy counts increase. The game includes a disguise system that helps minimize stealth engagement outside main missions, with players receiving a free disguise at the start of each open-world zone and the chance to unlock a more effective version as they progress. Superior disguises are linked to the advancement of the main quest, with each zone containing an underground boxing ring side quest that requires the advanced disguise. Players may encounter obstacles like one-way or locked doors, which can be discouraging. Focusing on the main quest can unlock areas of the map and provide access to better disguises. The game encourages players to activate disguise quest markers early and prioritize the main quest to enhance their experience. While the brawling mechanics are enjoyable, the non-social stealth can feel tedious, and players may prefer more freedom in solving puzzles and breaking codes.
