brings back all the nostalgia I had for this game when I owned it for PS2. I had bought a used copy and could never finish the game due to the disc being scratched up. So glad they remastered it. I finally got to complete it after all these years. Tons of fun with a lot of hours of gameplay. Really captured the essence of the movie. Ran this on my ROG AllyX and it worked great!

Exactly the same as the original PS2 version just with slightly better facial expressions. It runs very smoothly. I didn't notice how cheesy the lines are in this game when I was a kid because I was mostly watching my dad play this game. I had fun playing this game again with my dad and marveling at how far gaming has come since then.

Game of my childhood, one of favorite horror settings for it's time, now playable on modern systems! Playing this now reveals how many interesting and original game mechanics this game had for year 2002. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course it has connections to the movie universe. Best thing that The Thing does (:D) - it accurately represents that movie feeling of total uncertainty who is human / who is not, who is your ally / who is enemy. I had no bugs, game is not long, shooting feels a bit clunky though. If you are a movie fan or just liked to concept - I can highly recommend it!

If you're a fan of the movie, give it a try. The game itself is painfully average at best, as for an early 2000s game, but it has some interesting ideas such as fear and trust mechanics for the NPC. (Although it's half-baked and doesn't work properly most of the time.) It took me around 8 hours to finish it and doesn't really have any replay value, but I'd say it was an enjoyable experience overall nonetheless.
