Turok is a Frankenstein's monster sort of game in both gameplay and presentation. Akklaim one day decided to combine 2 of the most popular genres of the 90's; a 3d platformer collectathon and a fast-paced first-person shooter, which gave us..... Turok!!!!! It blends surprisingly well and I had a lot of fun I enjoyed the open-ended map design that they had a fair bit, it's very vertical. The weapons you get are pretty cool I think. In the presentation, they decided to combine the pre-historic dinosaur age with alien stuff; it looks cool and gets us some cool enemy designs. The final level was sooooo draining though it took so long to beat i felt drained after I beat the boss they did not have to make it that long.

A beautiful remaster from nightdive, this game is such a good time each playthrough once you get used to where everything is. A great soundtrack with liquid smooth movement and super fun boss fights.
If i had to complain about anything, id say the levels are a little to much for the first time player.... but otherwise its great!

This game is pretty terrible. No real encounter design to speak of, boring enemies, respawning enemies, dull level design, and an archaic save system puts this one in the pile of shame, never to be touched again. There's a chance maybe some stuff later in the game is cool, but it doesn't make a worthwhile impression. Certainly zero reason to play this today.
