The Thing: Remastered Reviews

If one were to judge it purely on a remastering job, The Thing is one of the most impressive games released this year. To preserve the feel of the original while enhancing so much about it is an incredible feat performed to an astounding degree. It’s a game of the year contender for as long as we don’t look at what the game is. Sadly, we have to, and that game is The Thing. Sod it, let’s just slap an inoffensive 7/10 on it. S’only a game, innit?

The Jimquisition

I appreciate that Night Dive chose this game to remaster because I’ve held it in such high regard for so long. Despite all my complaints, it was fun to revisit this 2002 game in part because I came to appreciate how far squad-based shooters have come in the 22 years (good lord) since.

NintendoWorldReport

The Thing: Remastered is another splendid remaster from Nightdive. There’s absolutely no issue with the enhancements, control tweaks, and other work that’s been done here; it’s the game itself, unfortunately, that for well over half of its running time leaves much to be desired.
