What is The Thing: Remastered?

This remaster of a 2002 third-person survival horror shooter takes place in Antarctica after the events of the 1982 film. As a Special Forces captain investigating a research outpost, you fight alien creatures across 20 levels and work with teammates whose fear and trust affect whether they cooperate.

For you if...

  • +you like science-fiction horror set in isolated research facilities
  • +you want to lead a squad against alien creatures
  • +you appreciate older shooters with updated visuals

Not for you if...

  • −you want quiet horror rather than frequent firefights
  • −you prefer fighting alone without managing teammates
  • −you want an open world instead of separate levels
