Taking to Twitter, David Jaffe showered Indiana Jones and The Great Circle with plenty of praise. This is a big deal because David Jaffe is known to be quite critical with his opinions of the gaming industry.

Major journalists like Ryan McCaffrey share similar opinions, highlighting just how well MachineGames’ exciting blend of puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat works in this Indiana Jones adaptation.

The God of War director didn’t go too in-depth with his praise, but he did point out one particular flaw. As per David Jaffe, the game could have been 20% shorter. He noted that this is something most modern releases struggle with, even with an easy fix in sight.

Still, this flaw did not take away from the rest of Indiana Jones and The Great Circle’s strengths. It is also interesting to note that David Jaffe previously declared Starfield his Game of The Year, marking two consecutive years of Xbox picks for the director.

MachineGames is currently said to be working on different games, but fans can almost certainly look forward to more Indiana Jones titles from the developer. The wait may be long, but if Indy’s first outing from the developer is anything to go by, it will certainly be worth it.
