007 First Light vs Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Two licensed stealth-adventure games with identical 16-hour campaigns and 8.7/10 verdicts — the real choice is Bond's corridor pressure versus Indy's first-person disguise sandboxes.
Updated 8d ago
IO Interactive nails Bond's origin with a stealth-combat blend that earns the 00 status — skip if you hate Hitman's patience.
Deserves your Game Pass queue slot — Great Circle holds its own next to Last Crusade, and the April 2025 PS5 port added native 4K Pro support.

Shared scale — same months across the bottom, same player-count axis up the side, so the two lines are directly comparable. A shorter line means a younger game.
What players say
Patterns from long-haul reviewers, taken from each game's verdict. Not live sentiment — each side is dated below.
007 First Light
The atmosphere and one-liners sell the Bond fantasy — even 40-hour fans replay for the style.
Forced stealth sections frustrate players who prefer action-first approach, making re-runs feel restrictive.
from our July 2026 verdict
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
The narrative and cinematic immersion, rivaling the best Indy films, is what high-hour players consistently celebrate.
Hand-to-hand combat and clunky gunplay are the persistent friction points that mar the otherwise polished adventure.
from our May 2026 verdict
Key differences
Which one is for you?
Pick 007 First Light if
- You loved Hitman's sandbox stealth and want that loop with a Bond skin.
- You want a tight 10-hour Bond origin story without open-world bloat.
- You enjoy corridor missions with forced stealth and Brosnan-era gadget humor.
Pick Indiana Jones and the Great Circle if
- You're an Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass subscriber who wants a day-one title.
- You prefer first-person exploration and disguise-based stealth over third-person shooting.
- You're an Indy fan who wants puzzles and franchise nostalgia with less-lethal combat.
Bottom line
Pick 007 First Light if you want active stealth sandbox tuning (3 patches in 90 days) and Bond's origin; pick Great Circle only if you're on Game Pass, love first-person disguise play, and don't mind zero recent patches and a 15%-of-launch player base.
