Turok is a fine piece in fps history, and if "quake but everything is worse except for it having dinosaurs" sounds like goty contender to you, I'm sure you will be satisfied with this game. And with "quake but worse" i mainly mean the movement, which by looking at footage of the game you could imagine it is going to be at least smooth, which is not. Thes game's movement feels like they had your whole keyboard glued with mayonnaise mixed with peanut butter, and this is not a minor complain because this game really focuses on parkour. Good thing that you move faster when pressing two movement keys and that the game has an absurd coyotetime, because else it would be a real pain.

(About the Nightdive port on steam)
Overall not gonna lie, its a fun experience, but, really, the reason I'm rating it negatively is because of the price, because it being a game from 1997 you cant just put it the price of a modern independent game. Nightdive as always did a good job in bringing this game to be easily accessible for modern computers and I appreciate a lot the job of conservating classics, but the lack of any significance improvements, specially the lack of a fps unlock (The game is capped at 60), don't justify the price. Sorry.
