While Indiana Jones and the Great Circle takes players on an action-packed adventure around the world, some of the best moments being the treasure hunt and the game's puzzle mechanics. Being one of the first significant sites in the Great Circle, the Vatican has many collectibles and additional content for players to discover. While not every quest in the Great Circle has the same level of reward or intrigue as the rest, quests like the Secret of the Giants side quest are more than a worthwhile detour.
The first part of this quest will be discovered through obligatory sections of the main story, but completing the side quest is entirely up to players to decide if it's worth trying. With the game being hit by waves of positive reviews, It's hard to resist the temptation to complete every side content available on each map. While the rewards aren't the most permanent, Secret of the Giants is a fun puzzle game in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle which reaches a satisfyingly challenging conclusion.
