Smooth as silk on today's PC's

I remember going all the way to America to get the "Unrated" version of this game on CD-Rom - though I never was sure quite what the difference was with the UK release. But here it is on GOG and whoever has worked their magic to get this running on a modern PC is very cool indeed. You have a plethora of menu options to adjust the game just the way you like it. By default the music is N64 but I've only ever known the PC version so I switched to that. Sometimes with these ports it doesn't quite feel how you remember due to various technical reasons but this one definitely does if like me you bought the CD-Rom version back in the day. I would have given 5 stars but there is a good deal of running around in massive circles wondering where the hell to go next. That part I didn't like. But for its day this was a very sophisticated game, and I love the extreme amounts of blood that come gushing out of the dinosaurs. Pleased to say it runs smoothly on the trainwreck that is Windows 10.

A bloodier, badder, better sequel

Right off the bat, I really loved Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It was a non-linear, fun, satisfying FPS with gratifying exploration-based gameplay. I began Turok 2 immediately after beating it in 2021, but I abandoned it for some reason... Now, after picking it up again in the wake of the announcement of Turok 3's remaster, all I have to say is THIS IS THE BEST FPS FROM THE N64, BAR NONE [with one of Night Dive's best remasters to boot]. It improves on the non-linearity and exploration of the first game, giving you larger environments to traverse with some of the most eye catching level design I've ever seen. You're also given objectives, from finding level keys like in the first game, to rescuing innocents and destroying enemy armories. And of course, you're encouraged to use 'Talismans' which give you powers to explore further and go back to prior sections to see what you missed. This results in a long, very varied game where the variety of things you do helps add some longevity to the experience... But that's not what you'll remember about Turok 2 as above all else, the game succeeds as a shooter. Turok 2 features a larger weapon roster than its predecessor spanning two weapon wheels, and not only do these weapons feel satisfying to use like before, but they're probably even more satisfying because THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT FPS GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED. A head shot on a raptor causes blood to spill out from its decapitated neck, explosives can tear a Dinozoid in half, you can punch a hole in a War Club with a shotgun and you see the ribcage! It's RoboCop levels of satisfying bloodshed! AND I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT! With improved level design, superior, bloodier combat, and tons of mileage for your buck, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is more than a recommendation: It's a must-play. And the remaster's QOL improvements only add to a game brimming with delightful deliciousness.

What a game!

I used to play this on the N64 when it first come out (such a solid game) it's better than before ! Playing it on pc has a good feel where the player can move about more easily compared to the stick on the old controller, there is an option to turn the hints off and make it like how a "game" should be. I've hit nostalgia city with this one. Thankyou for making this remaster!

Good release, good game

I finished it on hard after finishing Turok 1 on normal before reviewing. TL;DR In every way a better game than Turok 1. It has nice weapons and some of the more goofy mechanics like constantly respawning enemies have been dialed back, resulting in a much tighter FPS experience without the baggage of nintendo-like-platform-game design. Pros: + Weapons + FoV/modernized graphics/QoL features + Gory, nice kill animations Cons: - About half of levels are bad - Some annoying enemy types - Backtrack for keys offers no new challanges or rewards The biggest flaw is some mission design and objective placement are really bad, but first 2 levels are good. There's also a barely justified backtrack through all the levels before you are able to access the last boss. This port has some decent new features like highlighting objectives if you are close to them. This may help reduce some of the frustration of the levels that are badly designed, but still - prepare yourself to be lost at least a few times during Turok 2 as some of the key items or switches are hidden in a very hostile way. The best thing about it is again the weapon set. Some ammo types will have two different weapons using them, like the pistol and the more powerful mag pistol that consumes more ammo. The game does a good job to justify usage of both versions of same weapon, witch the exception of 2 (bow and melee - they have direct upgrades). One of the cooler weapons is a launcher that fires little floating drills that home in on a target, latch themselves onto it's skull and then explode after drilling in. Morbid, gruesome, awesome. While I barely recommended Turok 1, I can easily recommend the sequel. No need to play the original, the story isn't really connected.

Nostalgia? Or masterpiece?

The gore animations are the best in the series. The weapons are interesting and fun. The score is pretty good. Probably the most unique entry in the series with the most interesting lore. Sadly Rage Wars was the LAST good Turok game.
