Outside of its context, there isn't too much to say about Turok. It's a fairly standard shooter with a collecta-thon bend that doesn't really work out for it. Most other games that base progression on collectable items add more than you need to each level, but in Turok you need to find every single one of the keys to progress the game and with how massive the maps are, it's really a nightmare to find everything in some of the more open-ended levels. Luckily the more linear ones fare better. As a shooter it's not mind-blowing but pretty fun, Turok is fast as hell which I appreciate, but I have to question the choice of making most enemies respawn- ammunition is finite and some of the time you'll just find yourself running past them to save on it. These aren't massive issues and I had a decent time, but it's not a must-play.
