It's a fun game, the remaster is pretty good, and the controls and graphics are ok. As for the game itself, the gameplay is fairly basic but still features some original mechanics, particularly the team and stress systems. The story, on the other hand, is pretty messy, there are quite a few references to the movie, but the plot isn’t that great, and it’s not always clear what’s going on. It’s still a good game, but I recommend picking it up on sale, since I finished it in under 4 hours.
The ultimate in alien terror I can't overstate how surprised I was to see a remaster of "The Thing" suddenly appear on Steam - and even more surprised to discover just how well it works today. The team behind it clearly put in serious effort, updating the original for modern systems and even adding a handful of thoughtful improvements. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3613841343 At its core, this is a classic survival horror experience: claustrophobic, maze-like environments, limited resources, and swarms of grotesque monsters. Despite having some light exploration elements, the game stays fairly linear, which means you get all the tension without the frustration of wandering for hours in search of a key you missed somewhere. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3613841667 Serving as a direct sequel to Carpenter's film, the game delivers a straightforward but genuinely compelling story that expands the lore in meaningful ways. The world is filled with references, atmospheric details, and even a couple of delightful cameos that fans will definitely appreciate. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3613842018 The gameplay is surprisingly diverse for an early-2000s title. The shooting is punchy, the arsenal is generous, and nearly every weapon finds its use eventually. But the standout system is the companion management: throughout the game, you travel with AI teammates whose health, supplies, and even mental stability you must manage. If they panic too much, they can easily turn their gun on you... or worse! And because blood-test kits are extremely rare, you can never feel completely certain whether your trusted ally is about to transform into a creature right behind your back. It's a brilliant mechanic that adds a constant layer of tension. In the end, this is a remarkably strong remaster of a genuinely great game. It's short, focused, and gripping from the first minutes - the kind of experience you can blast through in a single sitting and come out smiling. It's genuinely heartwarming to see classics like this being preserved and brought back to life.
The Thing is such a classic literally one of my fav games of all time, the first time I saw it I wondered into a game shop back in 2004, I must have been about 7 years old. I remember my dad grabbing the game off the shelf in the store and asking me hey tony? showing me The Thing on Xbox Original. I was just like oh wow that game looks awesome, please dad, please XD, he said to me, ok tomorrow we will go back and I will buy you the game. The next day I jumped out of bed and begged my dad to get me it, later that day he took me to the game shop and bought it for me. I still own the original copy of it even today. Seriously though I do think its totally awesome and in my opinion a phenomenal game, when I think of all my fav games, the thing is always up there as one of my top 5 every time, everything about it is class, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the story, the characters, the fear, the thing monsters, the 2000s aesthetic and the soundtrack. I love this game its one of the very best games I ever played, in fact my words don't really give it any sort of justice, I cant really describe or tell, but it is certainly a classic I cant forget. The full price of £24.99, is expensive but honestly its worth it, its a full on classic remaster and Night Dive Studios done an excellent job. I also love both the movies with Kurt Russell from the 1980s and the 2011 prequel with Mary Elizabeth. I consider this game a must have, one of the best games ever made. 100/100 that is my score :)
Nightdive does it again. This time with a very dated, very obscure, 2002 game, based on a sequel of my favorite movie. In order for a game like the Thing to work, there needed to be an element of trust associated with the characters. It could not just be a straight up shooter. And I always thought the original developers, Computer Artworks did a pretty good job at the time, allowing for up to three NPCs join your squad, and depending on your orders, how much ammo you give them, or if you take the blood test, will determine how much they trust you and follow your orders. This is why I find it confusing they abandon that game mechanic for the frantic shooter that the ending turns into towards the end. Nevertheless this is a nice throwback, even if most of the enemies look like head crabs from Half-life.
