Like a shiny, valuable, ancient artifact, I was drawn to the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Collector's Edition at launch.
As a fan of the movies, the game looked enticing enough. However, it was the extra goodies, including the 11-inch globe of all things, that were truly hard to ignore. Its original $189 price point prevented me from picking it up, but now that the PC version is down to $109.99 at Woot, it feels a little more reasonable. Especially when you factor in that new price point includes not just the game and globe, but the DLC, a journal, an Allmaker relic replica, and Indy's iconic Temple of Doom Outfit to wear in-game.
Should you buy the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Collector's Edition for PC?
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with collector's editions. On the one hand, they can be a great way to grab some extra merch for your favorite game series, but on the other hand, they tend to be pretty pricey.
If you have a budget to stick to, grabbing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle starting from $65.49 at Amazon or via the Steam store is always going to be a better option. The Black Friday gaming deals are on their way, so there might be an opportunity to grab a really good discount on the game if it happens to be included in this year's November sales.
You don't need all those shiny extras, especially as it can be tedious to make room for all that extra tat. However, I do recommend grabbing this deal in particular if you're an Indy fan. All the collector's edition extras, minus the shiny steelbook, are based upon the contents of Indy's fictional office at Marshall College, so they'd look the part in any collection.
I'm more of a nerd for Lucas's other films personally (I may or may not own an official Death Star coffee table in my house), but even I want that little globe. It comes with a plane magnet, which you can use to unlock a hidden storage compartment, and that feels worth this current Woot deal price. Honestly, it looks so neat that you could say "it belongs in a museum".
I'll see myself out.
