5 Best Indiana Jones Games Of All Time, Ranked

June 30, 2026 - 07:17

The name Indiana Jones calls to mind a perfect blend of exploration, Nazi-punching, and ancient riddles. While the movies set the standard, a handful of video games have captured that same whip-cracking magic. Here are the five best, ranked from great to legendary.

5. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992)
This point-and-click adventure is often called the true fourth movie. It skips the film actors but nails the spirit. You choose between a puzzle-heavy path, a brawler route, or a balanced team-up with the sharp-tongued Sophia Hapgood. The story, involving Plato's lost city and a dangerous liquid metal, is smarter than most film scripts.

4. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (1999)
Think Tomb Raider with a fedora. This third-person action game sends Indy into Soviet-era ruins to stop a nuclear-powered machine. The platforming is clunky by today's standards, but the atmosphere is thick with crumbling temples and hidden traps. It feels like a real archaeological dig gone wrong.

3. Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (2003)
A prequel set before Raiders of the Lost Ark. This one fixed the clunky controls of Infernal Machine and added brutal fistfights. You explore a sunken palace in Istanbul and a Chinese tomb. The whip combat is satisfying, and the story ties neatly into the films without feeling forced.

2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure (1989)
Another LucasArts classic. This game lets you play as both young Indy and the adult version. It follows the movie plot but adds so many puzzles and locations that it feels like a full new adventure. The dialogue is witty, and the failure states are hilarious, like getting crushed by a giant boulder for the hundredth time.

1. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (2024)
The newest entry takes the top spot. Set between Raiders and The Last Crusade, it is a first-person action-adventure that finally blends stealth, combat, and puzzle-solving perfectly. Troy Baker channels Harrison Ford's voice so well it is uncanny. The open levels let you choose how to infiltrate Nazi camps or explore tombs. It respects the source material while feeling fresh, making it the closest we have ever come to living the adventure.
