I didn’t need another reason to love Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but an unexpected feature has quickly cemented it as one of my favorite games of 2024. Early in your adventure, you’ll likely notice a number of fascist propaganda posters littering the cities and villages you visit. While you can’t get rid of these eyesores at first, once you obtain a lighter, you can burn them! The game doesn’t advertise this particular feature, but I’m delighted that the developers added this extra bit of immersion in a game already brimming with detail.
You’ll unlock the lighter naturally during the course of your journey, as it’s required to complete some of the puzzles in the game’s various crypts and tombs. The tool allows you to light torches, fuses, fuel barrels, and apparently plenty of other stuff, too. If you haven’t grabbed the lighter yet, you can get it by visiting the vendor in the Gizeh marketplace.
As if I needed any additional incentives to go around burning posters of Benito Mussolini in Vatican City, each poster you destroy gives you a small allocation of Adventure Points to spend on permanent upgrades. A word of caution, however: Just like in real life, burning propaganda posters will quickly draw the ire of any stooges in the immediate vicinity, so be ready to run or fight as soon as you complete your unsanctioned arson.
