Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Overall a pretty enjoyable game, not an absolute must-have, but good to grab in a sale if you like old-school FPS games.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Sure, the graphics are dated, but it still plays very well.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Fortunately, now that they'll run on modern hardware that's not an outright N64 emulator AND that they'll play on keyboard and mouse, it's a real chef's kiss moment in terms of gameplay.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound effects are not bad at all but it's not something to notice much through the game.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The keyboard + mouse works exactly the way you expect them to work and the gamepad is now adapted to be modern-like FPS, making the Turok experience even better than the Nintendo 64 one.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
For a 1997 game, the visuals still hold up reasonably well, and the remaster’s native Linux port is a big plus.
