Indiana Jones and the Great Circle difficulty settings explained

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle brings the ever-popular archeologist and explorer, Indiana Jones, to modern systems for the first time. Traveling across many countries and regions, Indy's pursuit of exploration takes him around the world and tests his puzzle-solving skills. However, solving puzzles repeatedly or fighting enemies isn't everyone's idea of a fun time, which is what developer Bethesda has acknowledged.

As a result, there are difficulty sliders. They have further been subdivided into Action and Adventure experience difficulty options, which can individually be toggled to create a personalized experience. Provided below are the various difficulty settings in the game.
