Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Reviews
Obviously there are better Turok games that could see the light of day on the PC market, but the original Dinosaur Hunter is what will hopefully be a good start for stronger ports to come. It's certainly worth enjoying all over again, especially if you're feeling nostalgic for the "good ol' days" of gaming. It's priced about right, too – for $20, you too can be Turok.
Turok Remastered plays to all the worst addictive aspects of the FPS genre, keeping you running for that carrot on the stick, and fiending for the rush of a new upgrade.
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter is an intriguing walk down memory lane, and Night Dive Studios have done their usual good job of optimizing it for modern hardware. That said Turok hasn't aged very well at all, and there are some inherent flaws that keep the original from being as fun as the sequels.
Though a few aspects of the Turok series' design haven't aged well since original release, these two games nevertheless deliver on an incredibly fun and satisfying experience that all fans of casual shooters should try out.
Despite the fact that Turok doesn't gel with the standards of today's first-person shooters, it nonetheless serves as a great nostalgia trip with retro gameplay that is delightfully old-school.
We’ll see how Nightdive’s seemingly upward trend continues as they start bringing other Acclaim classics to the system but for now, we’re perfectly content with enjoying what Turok has to offer.
Turok returns to a Nintendo console 22 years after its original release and does so with a remastering with minimal technical changes and no changes in the control, beyond a new gyro control mode that complements and assists traditional control. The game had quality in its day and maintains it, its arcade and frantic gameplay you can see the seams, although this is not an impediment to enjoy it because the game is very fun. Perhaps it is not for everyone and the most modern generations find it too classic and unfriendly, but whoever enjoyed it in its day has no excuse to meet again. The Indian returns home.

Turok is a game in which you shouldn’t judge it by its looks alone, the action-packed nature of the gameplay truly makes this a game you shouldn’t pass on if you own a Nintendo Switch.
Turok is one of the greatest shooters on the Nintendo 64, and it 's made even better with this fantastic update.
