This week on Steam, three releases are coming that will take you back to your childhood in the 90s.
Anyone who grew up in the 90s is guaranteed to remember: After school, they would rush home to watch Indiana Jones hunt for treasure, see the Power Rangers fight Rita Repulsa, or spend the afternoon playing Legacy of Kain on the Playstation.
This week you can relive all of that, only this time in a chic new edition and directly on Steam. Whether you’re into tricky puzzles or gripping action, the coming week will deliver exciting releases with the heroes of your childhood.

Highlight of the week: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
(Genre: Action-Adventure – Developer: MachineGames – Release: December 9 (Steam)
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, you take on the role of the legendary archaeologist Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr. and go on an adventure that takes place between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade.
In 1937, you are faced with the task of preventing dark forces from revealing the secrets of the so-called Great Circle—an ancient power associated with mysterious sites around the globe. Your journey will take you to exotic locations such as Peru, the Vatican, Thailand, Egypt, Shanghai, the Himalayas and Iraq.
Gameplay combines first-person perspective with third-person elements and offers a mix of linear, story-driven sections and open areas to explore. You can decide whether you want to confront enemies in direct combat with Indy’s iconic whip and other weapons, or whether you prefer to sneak up on them. In addition, numerous puzzles challenge your wits and reward you with hidden artifacts and secrets.
The game was developed by MachineGames, which has already proven its skills with the acclaimed Wolfenstein series. And with the Indy game, the Swedish developers have once again hit the mark!
