A great master of a flawed but good FPS from the late 90's.

Things to note:
+ It's super fast and it feels great to move around and shoot, it feels like you are in a complete frenzy half the time, very satisfying
+ The original version shrouded everything in fog to be able to run it without lagging, in this remaster there is a lot less fog
+ The concept of playing as Turok fighting dinosaurs in open environments in a Quake-inspired shooter is a great idea, was refreshing back then when most shooters featured castle/industry/hell environments

- Half of the levels are very confusing and result in a lot of backtracking
- Respawning enemies
- You need to collect tokens to open up new levels, which really sucks the life outta the game when the levels become confusing to explore and you can't find them, it's really annoying and the game would be considerably better without it
- Some of the platforming later on can be annoying (there is quite a bit of platforming in Turok)
