Solid action from 2002.
Although the lack of Orthogonal Differantion of Enemies is a blatant mistake, The Thing is a very decent and fun action game, despite the horror and desolate setting you got plenty of trigger time in this game. I wish the devs leaned more into the survival horror setting though. The AI system with its morale and trust system was pretty cool in 2002, but you realize pretty quickly that it's not that deep. The more you play, the more you feel that it's just a proof of concept that maybe couldn't be developed to its fullest potential in the game. The movie is a clear example of Lovecraftian Horror, but the elements the game introduces into the mix moves the story into a more mundane and cheap Sci-Fi flick with your typical evil human villain trying to weaponize The Thing. Leaving things vague is better sometimes. The whole game feels like it had a rushed development due to budget constraints, and maybe didn't had a clear design roadmap. The confusing "Jump Cuts" between cutscenes are a clear example of that. Buy this game if you like video game history and game design.
