In The Order of Giants, the DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, MachineGames trades bombast for something deeper: secrets, symbols, and the slow burn of a truly well-designed puzzle. The Vatican returns, and it’s never felt more rewarding to get lost inside.

The Order of Giants invites more than just sightseeing

Rome was already a highlight in the base game, but now it gets teeth. This expansion opens up unexplored corners of the Vatican and beyond, laced with traps, hidden doors, and the kind of cryptic setups that scream classic Indy. The best part? You don’t need to finish the main game to dive in.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Redefines the Samurai Power Fantasy

Onimusha: Way of the Sword blends sharp combat and cinematic flair, letting you feel like a master from the very first strike.

Puzzles are longer, smarter, and beautifully layered

You won’t find filler here. One of the early brainteasers involves channeling water through a giant hall crowned by a monstrous snake statue. It’s complex but never overwhelming. And if you do get stuck, Indy’s camera system offers a steady drip of hints to keep you moving.

Here’s what else sets the puzzle design apart:

Adjustable difficulty for accessibility
Smart use of historical context
New mechanics not seen in the main game
Layered rewards for players who explore fully

The Order of Giants balances thought with action

This isn’t just a puzzle box. After solving the water riddle, you’re tossed into a crumbling underground digsite where classic platforming takes over. Indy swings, jumps, and scrambles across collapsing ruins, complete with a giant encounter that cranks the tension.

Rome opens up the world beyond the tombs

Eventually, the DLC moves out of the catacombs and onto Rome’s streets. Expect new boat sections, cultists working behind the scenes, and a grand palazzo loaded with secrets. Every step offers more insight into the Nephilim Order and what they’re hiding beneath centuries of stone.

The Order of Giants is the adventure fans were hoping for

No gimmicks. No feature bloat. Just a sharp, smart expansion that doubles down on what made The Great Circle shine. If you left that game wanting more, this is it. Indy’s back, and Rome still has secrets worth stealing.
