Good to go an adventure on memory lane and how we see things differently with eyes 20 years older! The game is exactly as it was when I played it 20 years ago, when times were more simple! This deserves a more complex remake or sequel. If you catch it on a sale I recomend buying it, great game! Oh and it has remarks from the original movie!

In a The Thing-less world, this is a nice blast from the past. Totally playable, sometimes a little buggy, but nothing major. Fun, short game. This monster begs for a new movie or a game, but this is the best we can get right now.

Classic game. Pretty short. Took just under 6 hours to beat the game, with dying a few times here and there. Didn't run into any game-breaking issues. Graphics are dated, but that's not why we play this game. We play this game to get some extra context / content in the IP universe of the greatest movie of all time, John Carpenter's The Thing (1982). In that venture, I definitely recommend it.

Felt like I was playing a Resident Evil game. I got so invested in the game I completed it within 5 hours. I doubt there will be one but I hope this game gets a remake. I would recommend. 8 out of 10.

i only had one crash my entire play through on launch, the game was enhanced in some aspects but felt period correct or needed it. This is simply the experience that should have been on the original launch date.

I never played the original, but I saw Jerma play it and that was pretty funny. Ever since I heard there was going to be a remaster, I really wanted to try it out for myself. Overall, I had a very enjoyable experience and the game is very reminiscent to the original. I really recommend this game if you're a fan of the movie.

So much fun, if a bit cliche of a story (oh the military wants to use the alien to get more powerful? I'm shocked!). It feels like exactly what it is, if that makes sense? Nightdive did an amazing job remastering this old gem and it's fun - I just wish the blood testing felt a little more crucial.

My squad got stuck in a shed with a fire that nearly blocks the door. I remember this game being hyped back in the day but I never played it, so I don't have nostalgia glasses. This mission is bullshit, indeed.

I enjoyed the game!
I never got a chance to play the original personally, neither was I a big The Thing fan, but having completed the game now, I can say it was really fun and I can see why so many people have good memories of it. If I can enjoy it this much today, I can only imagine how insane I would find it back in the day!
I really liked the atmosphere and some of the core mechanics like the whole fear and trust management with your squadmates and having to keep eye out on who may or may not be infected, action A making people trust you less, whereas action B making them trust you more etc - that was very interesting and one of those [b] things [/b] that I would go crazy over as a kid for sure. Sadly I feel like this mechanic wasn't explored enough, but I mean - what could one expect from an early 2000's game?
Speaking of early 2000 stuff - unfortunately the game is still full of the early 2000's jank, like the classic getting stuck by walking on top of something that you shouldn't, stupid NPC's either getting stuck or ignoring an order here and there. The game sometimes lacking any clarity like sometimes you would go to a place, do nothing in there and somehow this would allow you to then go back where you came from and push forward despite never unlocking anything or picking up any key item - this issue was very apparent for me closer to the end of the game though.
Two really bad issues I had personally:
-Near the end of the game again there is a whole a*s section where hitboxes just refuse to work, so I had a whole fu*king parade going on with like 5 soldiers chasing after 1 scientist or whatever, another 7 little bugs and 1 bigger monster all chasing each other and attacking me, me trying to defend myself and help the poor scientist, only to not be able to physically hurt anyone, or be hurt myself, not with firearms, not with grenades or explosive barrels. Fu*k it, I was even granted the ability to run through the fire when I was at it!
-Sometimes the game would very abruptly just load the next checkpoint, sometimes skipping whole a*s sections entirely for an ultimate speedrun tactic. Idk why it happened, but sometimes it did just out of nowhere as well.
This is a solid game though. It does sadly lose itself a little bit toward the end I feel. The closer toward the end you are the worse it felt, but the initial vibes were amazing.
Also, this price tag is fu*king rough for a game this old and this short.
