Just bought the remake/remaster of the classic Turok games on Steam.

I forgot just how good the soundtrack is.

Goddamn.

Im Schatten des Vergessens: Turok 3 und eine kurze Geschichte der Turok-Reihe

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil (Iguana Entertainment, Acclaim, 1998)

Initial thoughts:

Turok 2 is still pretty good, mostly thanks to the Nightdive studios port. The somewhat tanky enemies and the annoyingly small/skinny enemies ruins the run-and-gun feel of things, and the bows feel really bad to use anywhere beyond close-range.

However the level design and satisfying "puzzles" mixed with the admittedly good music does keep the pace chugging along through the extremely boring opening level.

Complete review later, if and when I finish the game.

An underrated weapon type in classic FPS games is probably mines, because those are usually fun.

Doom 2016 had the Kinetic Mines in MP, but i think they'd be cool in a singleplayer game (Even if for something slow, like a D3 sequel and not an arena focused Slayer game).

Hell, it'd be a great combo with the hologram.

The Duke Nukem 3D Laser Tripbomb is also great, specially when you combine it with other explosives and all.

And of course, Blood and its fair share of explosives, it has to have a proximity bomb.

Quake? Scourge of Armagon gave us the Proximity Launcher.

What about Turok? There's the PFM Layer from Seeds of Evil (And Rage Wars too but it's different there).

What else to add? Probably the Proximity Mines from Perfect Dark and Goldeneye 007.

These 2 have an interesting history because it might as well be the first time Smash represents an FPS series ever since these were used as designs for Smash's Proximity Mines in 64 and Melee before they started having original designs by Brawl (And then there's stuff like the PD versiom being Japan only or how the Goldeneye version's source is only refered as "TOP SECRET").

Feel free to expand this list.

Now that I’ve got nearly everything installed on my Xbox Series X, I’m starting my experience proper with that hot new game.... Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Damn, was 2018 really five years ago?!

Not that the age of the game matters when it looks and runs this good. I know PC players have been experiencing this since launch probably and I always only ever played it on the base Xbox One, but OH MY GOD playing this monster on the Series X at 60fps is a revelation. No more random hitching when riding Phobos, no more often struggling to meet 30 frames. It just looks eyeball meltingly gorgeous and is so buttery smooth.

I’ve always loved Odyssey. It’s maybe the least Assassin-y of the series, but I don’t care, I find the story pretty good, love the setting of Ancient Greece and protagonist Kassandra, and the gameplay is just so, so fun.

Oh, I’ve also been using my Series X to play that stunning graphical powerhouse... Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. I finally played through the first Turok game and absolutely loved it, and I’m loving the sequel too. Maybe the maps are a little too big for their own good (and I can’t imagine playing the OG version with no quality of life features the remaster added, like objective markers) but it’s still a blast.
