Review: The Thing Remastered (PlayStation 4/5, Switch, Xbox & Steam) - Defunct Games

Glad to hear you’re ok!

Glad you're doing well! QOTD: I've got a couple. One kind of counts and the other one is a straight up one for one. (1) Alien: Isolation based on the Alien Franchise is SO SO SO Good. I'm honestly not trolling when I say this, but Alien: Isolation is not only one of my favorite games but it is the best survival horror game I've ever played. Yeah I get it there are fans of Resident Evil out there, but to me Alien: Isolation just nails the fear and dread element where you are CONSTANTLY on your toes, and I like also at the same time it can be forgiving with the amount of save points there are out there. (2) This is going way back but Batman: Returns on SNES is my favorite one for one straight up movie to game adaptation. I love playing thru that game at least once per year. I can beat it in roughly 45 minutes or so and I love how it follows the story line and it's just plain fun all the way thru. Graphics and sound are top notch, and it's arguably one of the best beat 'em ups on SNES right up there with Final Fight and TMNT 4: Turtles in Time.

This looks slick and is another piece of "official" media that shows MacReady is not infected at the end of the movie. The comic also showed he wasn't but Childs was the thing in that. QOTD, Underrated would probably be that Wolverine: origins game. Probably the best action game with wolverine taking into account his abilities.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (GameCube) -- I still play it to this day.

[@KegOfMeat]

I did not know this was released and now I’m going to get it and play it because I never got very far originally.

Qotd: i really really liked the king kong game, but i think thats an easy pick. But the true gem is the harry potter and the chamber of secrets for the game boy color! I really love this game

[@LuigiMario-ni3rj]

Chamber of Secrets was great! I prefer the GameCube/PS2 version, myself. But I kinda stole your answer. lol

[@jwrfb26]

I don't think it's the most underrated, but I believe the Jurassic Park game for Sega Game Gear could use more attention.

[@JenMistress]

So much of this depends on your thoughts on the original release it sounds like. May have to boot it up in the Emulator to remind myself what I felt about the original before deciding on going with the Remaster or not then. As for the question, not sure if I could think of any I feel is underrated, but can think of a couple that's controversially over hated. Out of those, let me pick the most controversial of them all and say E. T. Yeah, original setting might be hard, but messing around with the switches, and you can play at a much easier setting. That to me really makes me feel it gets way too much hate than it deserves.

Way I figure it, this sounds like an INTERESTING addition to the Nightdive remake library rather than a must-buy. The game feels like it would be worth buying in a sale, but whereas their more traditional FPS games like PO'd or Turok are very straightforward, this one feels like it's neither scary enough to be an interesting horror purchase or action-y enough as a shooter. Regarding the question- I'm pretty fond of the Judge Dredd game for SNES. Not sure if it's under-rated so much as just not mentioned that much these days, though.

[@topcover7390]

Definitely playing this since I never played the original.

[@TheUballe]

I have the original on my Xbox but will gladly pick the remaster up when it's on clearance.
