Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

This is a very good example of 90's FPS design. This game helps illuminate why consumers in the early 2000's wanted more linear level design and simpler weapons. You don't get Call of Duty without games like Turok 2. Turok 1's greatest strength was the large, open air levels, and evocative level design. Sadly that was lost in the sequel. Every level in this game is a twisting turning maze littered with teleporters and obtuse objectives. While objectives are marked the level design is obtuse. This means that if you miss and objective it becomes almost impossible to find again. The later levels are even more frustrating as the game devolves into a rat warren levels of twisting paths. Then they add jumping challenges over insta-kill pits. There are more weapons in this game than Turok 1 but many of them are pointless. There are two guns dedicated to stunning the enemy and 2 underwater weapons. All four of these are useless. of the remaining sixteen weapons, none feel powerful. I played through on hard and every enemy is a bullet sponge eating 3 or more shotgun blasts at close range. Even if you kill an enemy, some of them respawn which makes back tracking more frustrating. Ammo is another limiting factor. The game is stingy with ammo, even when finding secrets, which leaves you starved of ammo for the good weapons. This is compounded by the low maximum ammo count and an inability to increase it. So why recommend this game? If you can get it on sale, Turok 2 manages to transport a certain feeling that happened between 1997-2000. There's a certain vibe that this game evokes which other games in the genre from this time period just don't capture.

Great game, takes a bit to get going, glad I completed it since I didn't have the patience when I was younger.

Classic old school console FPS. Remake keeps everything super pure but they did add objective icons which drastically helps in distinguishing interactable objects from the environments. Couldn't imagine finishing the game now without them.

The remaster plays way better than the original PC-Port. A timeless old-school shooter.

Juegazo de la niñez, tremenda banda sonora, gameplay frenético, armas bizarras y lore chulo. Una experiencia única matando dinosaurios mutantes, alienígenas y criaturas extrañas.

Great game finally get to play this game! Could not do it as a kid on the N64. This and Goldeneye Created modern gaming!

10/10 game, loved it since the n64 days. Wanted to mention a strange bug I had. When fighting the 3rd sister of despair I was using the missile launcher. The crosshairs targeted an invisible sister behind the real one and killed them both. Now my game says I have killed 4 of 3 and won’t let me progress to the totem. I’ve tried to Google this strange bug, but I can’t seem to find anyone else who has had this issue.
