20 MORE Pointless Video Game Mechanics Nobody Used

Helmed by MachineGames, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle follows the iconic archaeologist as he finds himself in a race against time to acquire mysterious artefacts before they fall into the wrong hands.

Throughout this globe-trotting adventure, players explore forgotten tombs, solve ancient puzzles, and take part in eye-widening set pieces. A large part of the game also involves infiltrating heavily guarded areas, which requires a disguise to do safely. 

Whether it's wandering around the Vatican as a priest or posing as an enemy soldier, each disguise comes with its own unique weapon that's useful for stealthily taking down enemies or deploying during a brawl. Like every other melee weapon in the game, these items will break after a certain point. Unlike the standard weapons, though, these can be mended with a repair kit.

However, the game never explains this mechanic to players and instead tucks it away in an awkward part of the inventory. Even if players are able to figure out what repair kits are for, there are more than enough makeshift weapons lying around at any given point that repairing them would be redundant.

Whichever weapon players chose, The Great Circle is an amazing Indiana Jones adventure.
