The Thing: Remastered takes players back to Outpost 31 to experience the conclusion to the John Carpenter horror classic. It invites both old-school gamers and a new generation of horror fans to experience a nightmare that pits you against not just a parasitic threat but also paranoia and the environment.

The Thing Remastered is an absolute must play for fans of action game. I’ve been kicking myself for missing out on it the first time around. While a sequel to a horror movie, the game lacks in that department and enemies aren’t as gruesome as we’ve seen in most recent horror outings, but the atmosphere and eerily quietness makes up for it. Sure, some mechanics and the A.I. does feel a bit archaic at times, but it doesn’t stop from making The Thing Remastered a must play experience. Overall - 85% Summary Pros - Gameplay holds up pretty well 20 years in - Fun uses of character classes - Enjoyable, albeit simplistic, boss fights Cons - Limited replay value - A.I.

I loved this game when it was released back in the day, and I still love it today. I do wish it stuck to its initial concept throughout the entire experience, but what is here is still tense and well executed here. Pair that with the excellent updates that Nightdive is known for, and this is a game I can wholeheartedly recommend. I really appreciate the mantra of Nightdive as they continue to remaster classics from a different time, and not just the well-known ones. The Thing is an encapsulation of gaming during the PS2 era, and I am all here for it.

The Thing, by its very concepts and mechanics, is well worth the price of admission for historians and enthusiasts. There really isn’t much quite like it, and perhaps that’s because it would be difficult to pull off well. For what it’s worth, The Thing was never perfect. It has some weird speed in its overall gameplay and cringy dialogue that detract from its scarier elements, but those elements are still fun, and with the improvements that address a sore spot in its strength, The Thing: Remastered makes an interesting outlier of the horror genre that much more valuable. This review is based on an early PC copy provided by the publisher.
