Digital Foundry has reviewed how Indiana Jones and the Great Circle performs on the new Switch 2 console. They say it is impressive, even though it aims for 30 frames per second (fps). This choice helps create a better visual experience, similar to other consoles.
The game uses advanced technology for realistic hair, reflections, and shadows. It also includes ray-traced global illumination, which sometimes performs better than on the Xbox Series S. However, because the game must fit on a 64GB Switch 2 cartridge, some textures are not as high quality. Still, they are comparable to those on the Series S, particularly if players do not download the extra texture pack.
When docked, the game runs at a good 1080p resolution. It mostly maintains its 30fps target, but sometimes it drops in busy scenes, particularly during combat or fast movement. Characters in the distance move at 15fps, a common technique in many games.
Overall, the game looks beautiful and runs well on Switch 2. It is one of the few titles with a physical release, which many fans will appreciate.
