Has a lot of interesting ideas that mostly don't quite gel together or are underdeveloped. Still, it's worth checking out and I enjoyed my time with it.

Great short horror game. A good play through for fans of the movie. A couple of bugs might have you restart from a checkpoint a couple of minutes back but I only had an issue in one spot. Plays like a classic early 2000s game.

The gameplay shows it's age, but the overall experience is worth it. Bottom line: If you're a fan of
John Carpenter's film, playing this is a must.

Finally had the chance to play this action-horror gem back in the PS2 era, and I was quite surprised that this game was ahead of its time. The panic system towards your allies, the uncertainty of when your team would turn on you, and the fact that it's a direct sequel to John Carpenter's classic hit movie. The game is pretty challenging on the hardest difficulty, and the length to complete is just right without wasting the players' time. Definitely recommend for any retro game enthusiast.

Great game. Deserves not just a remaster but a remake as well. An early pioneer of the squad-based shooter genre.

Maybe the real Thing was the friends we assimilate along the way

Je le recommande juste pour les nostalgiques.
Toutefois, j'ai l'impression que l'original était plus difficile, j'y avais passé bcp plus d'heures pour en arriver au bout.

I really wanted to like this game because I'm always horny for horror-action games and to be fair I think it's a good remaster. Sadly I think the game is not designed well enough for me to recommend it.

I played the original on PS2. Paranoia to the extreme! Fun game.

Honestly, Great remaster, if you loved the game back in the day and want to play it again, get it.

But this was my first time playing the game, so all the feedback isn't directed at the remaster studio.

The game is action, theres zero subtly or psychological horror, much less any horror. It was interesting at first, and the game it implied at the start sounded really cool, but it quickly devolves into a run and gun blast them game, which wore off the charm fairly quickly.

"I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

Отличный ремейк к шикарной игре.
Интересный сюжет и приятный геймплей, с кучей отсылок на фильм.
Из минусов: По сюжету все спутники погибают или несюжетно остаются в переходе между главами :(
Проходится спокойно за 5 часов, так что цена для игры завышена, но хочется постоянно возвращаться в в игру опять :)

It's definitely a product of its time. This is clearly a PS2 era game at its heart, and it doesn't have waypoints or strong clues on where you need to go, so in other words: it doesn't hold your hand. The "Remastering" could have been a bit better. The graphics were taken from a PS2 level to very very late PS2 level. If you like "The Thing" series, or PS2 era games, give it a shot!
