- The Thing: Remastered is a weird nostalgia trip that is fairly dated, but remains compelling enough to see through to credits.
Lyle Pendle · Dec 10, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Nightdive has simply made it look nicer on modern screens, run at approximately a bajillion frames per second, and updated the controls so they don’t make the modern player’s brain fall out of their head. Lovely stuff. I hope Nightdive keeps wearing other game studios’ skins.
Kirk Mckeand · Dec 06, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Part of me wishes their effort was spent on a better game, but the other part is happy that I got to experience the absolute mess that is The Thing. I know it sounds weird to hear, “This is a mess; you should totally check it out,” but that’s what I’m saying. The Thing is a fascinating cluster of missteps, and a completely unconvincing facsimile of its source material. But it’s hard to look away when it turns itself inside out.
Zoey Handley · Dec 06, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - 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.
TJ Denzer · Dec 05, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Nightdive has done a fantastic job of restoring this flawed but intriguing game, continuing its crucial work with game preservation. All of the changes it's made are positive, resulting in a better game, both visually and mechanically. Nonetheless, this is a case where a complete remake would've been much more appealing, allowing for the trust and fear system to be fleshed out with less rigidity and more dynamism. As it is, Computer Artworks' vision might never be fully realized, and that's a shame.
Richard Wakeling · Dec 05, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - No nos queda mucho más en la chistera de este The Thing Remastered, pero es un auténtico placer personal poder volver a probarlo tal y como lo hice allá por 2002 y volver a atesorarlo en la memoria , ahora con razón, como un survival horror de mucha calidad y que merece más reconocimiento del…
