Oh hey, what do we have here? It’s another gem from Night Dive Studios! This time, they’re bringing back to life a cherished classic from the PS2 days: The Thing. While this third-person shooter might not have boasted top-notch combat, it more than made up for it with its incredible atmosphere and a clever AI/squad system. This unique feature had you constantly on your toes, cautious around your NPC allies in case they mistook you for a sneaky alien in disguise. Meanwhile, as you navigated the chilling arctic base inspired by the movie, you had to keep an eye on your squad members too. Were they merely frightened? Frustrated? Or were they actually the alien threat, pretending to be on your side?
This intriguing dynamic infused every moment of the original game with tension, and now, The Thing Remastered has stepped things up a notch. By refining the UI and sprucing up the textures, they’ve ensured this spine-tingling shooter fits right in on contemporary consoles. It’s the perfect opportunity for a whole new generation to experience the terrifying thrill of The Thing.
