Turok 2: Seeds of Evil

It's just as great as it was back in the 90's, and it still to date has one of the craziest arsenals to ever grace gaming. Imo it's the best Turok has ever been.

Great game. Music/Level design/Weapons/Enemy Placement all top notch. Huuge levels

plays exactly how i remember the N64 bversion!

This game is actually fun to play now without the low resolution, low framerate, and difficult controls on the N64 making it a chore to play. Also, the hint system helps big time finding things in some of these confusing levels.

One of my favorite games as a child and tied for my favorite n64 title. Good memories of multiplayer splitscreen and the likes.

Definitely a fun trip down memory lane, still feel this was one of the best fps in the n64 library, Some of the maps can be a bit long and you'll definitely get lost a few times but exploring usually finds your solutions eventually. Give it a shot.

I AM TUROK!

A great update to a classic.

Excellent port

i love this game as kid on nin 64 it best how you did it on steam

I recommend it, but I preferred the first one.

Since I was 10 finally I've defeated The Primagen by myself and saved the universe.

Honestly, bad remaster.

Bad framerate (50fps), will update review when they update the game with the improved engine.

Also, the graphics look bad in general. Look lower resolution somehow, less contrast, blurry. Watch the youtube video "Turok 2 Comparison: Original vs Remastered."

Give the automap a slider in the settings for "color opacity."

Remaster Turok Evolution

My fav game of all time, love the heck out of it!

classic Turok from the days of old and when games needed you to think for yourself and explore and it looks better and plays better then most of the slop they call games we get today I am glad I got to see the era of when games were good and didnt push politics of gay shit down your neck, give it a try if you can hack it lol.

This is a great N64 classic updated for modern PCs. The game is not any longer than before (6 main levels, some bosses and portal worlds). Supports higher resolutions and has a bunch of options to make it playable with KB+M or controller and set bindings how you like.

Gameplay: Levels are mostly linear but sometimes feel a bit maze-like, you might get lost because you accidentally walked past a door you didn't notice. The biggest change is things like buttons, switches and key items are marked through walls (but not the things that they will open) so that you don't have to hunt around forever trying to find something to make progress.

If you didn't finish every mission objective when you reach the end of the level then you get teleported back to the beginning to try and find anything you missed. All objectives should be reachable in one pass.

Find keys and items to access new levels. Sometimes you need to use an item you found in one level to access a key in a previous level. The new addition of being able to teleport between checkpoints in different levels without needing to return to the hub makes this a lot faster.

Its like the first one, but bad

Childhood game i love it!!

Fantastic: Turok 2 !! 10/10.
Rather unassuming simple start and graphics, but it turns into a complex, attention grabbing game, a joy to complete for me.
Had to use a walkthrough to get so many specials, though, but totally worthwhile.

- NOTES:
- Also Turok 1
Outstanding job by Nigthdive Studios, one of their best, totally updated, added to, zero blinding fog, QOLs, keyboard mapping, bobbing level select, etc, etc, the works.
A remaster meant another gameplay for me, so good.

- ( Turok 3 -Three-: Beware, DON'T play 3, terribly awful original game.
Forget the Turok character, dies in the badly made cutscene before the game begins.
Then choose your pitiful and risible hero, girl Danielle or youngster Joseph.
N64 levels of bare, empty locations.)

honest to god nightdive ruined this remaster, i have no idea why they decided to nerf the weapons on higher difficulties but they absolutely did, the fact a single dinozoid can survive 4 to 5 head-shots from the shredder shotgun when it was 1 to 2 back i the day on the hardest difficulty is just INSANE levels of artificial difficulty.
do yourself a favor and just go play the N64 emulated version.

Turok 2 is one of the most underrated FPS games since the N64 era... Here´s why:

-Levels are so big and complicated it could rival classic DOOM level design
-Secret areas are a real challenge to find.
-Levels are not linear since you need to come back to find stuff you need to progress the story
-YOU WILL DEFINETLY GET LOST AT SOME POINT
-Weapons are super fun to use and ammo is constantly a challenge to overcome all the enemies
-Enemies will eventually hit you, AI is predictable but mobs of enemies will overcome you
-BOSS FIGHTS are pretty cool with phases that will make you think where the hell you need to shoot

Nightdive did a pretty good job with some quality improvements BUT if you want a real challenge, just turn off the quest indicators to get the full N64 experience. Believe it or not the game played pretty much like the way you wiill experience back in the day, that´s why the original dev team deserves some high praise to get this game running on the N64.

I had this game for the N64 but never did finish it as a kid but always liked the feel of Turok games. Now 27 years later (dayum) I can trully enjoy the masterpiece this game was back in the day.

This is the game I have the most memories of from my childhood. This remaster is great and gives many quality of life features that it desperately needed. I thought it would just be a hit of nostalgia but ended up having a ton of fun, finished a 100% hard run and doing a hardcore now. Awesome job Nightdive

these levels are way too big

Love it as much as i did back on n64! One of my all time favorite fps games . highly reccomend .

A solid game that has not aged well, perhaps worse than the first. While there are some great reasons to Play Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, the game is brought down by its level design. Only consider playing if you are a big fan of the first game and are willing to put up with a lot of backtracking.

PROS:
- Enemy variety is solid, if not as good as the first game
- Unique weapons
- Great remaster with plenty of modern features
- Fun visuals

CONS:
- Gunplay has not aged well when compared to games like Quake or Half-Life (which came out the same year)
- Really confusing levels that require a lot of backtracking
- Game will require the player to visit previous levels to obtain required items, introducing even more backtracking

I played this game when it first released in 1998 and I feel this game series was way ahead of its time

yes

A good shooter with some really annoying backtracking. Just look up a guide on where to find the talismans/primagen keys and save yourself the trouble of trying to do it naturally.

Good remaster of an ancient pearl

Arguably the best in the series, and a great remaster at that.

After all these years I finally beat this game! Still the best in the trilogy.

It does not take much to make a N64 game look better. This is a good example of where with just a small effort, something that was industry defining, was reborn. Not changed, sheerly improved. There is no nintendo fan that does not NEED this title.

One of the greatest boomer shooters ever. The FPS platformer formula from the first game evolves into a whole new surreal experience. We're not just hunting dinosaurs and shooty guys anymore. We're waging a one man war on several different races of aliens hell bent on destroying humanity and we're taking the fight to their turf. It's an open world experience with all the exploration and back tracking you love from a 90s collect-a-thon but it's also a first person shooter. You got a huge armory with some alternate ammo types for a couple weapons, alien tech to help you out and the powers of your native American spirit pals provided you can find the pretty feathers they want. Your best friend for most of the game will be the shotgun btw. If you like ass kicking, alien blasting, balls to the walls explosive action, this is your fuckin' game. The cerebral bore defined the legacy, and the community and mods keep it well alive today. The Japanese summed it up when they named they decided in Japan to brand this franchise under the name "Violence Killer."

Used to play this all the time on the Nintendo 74 back when my family was still alive those were the days.

Fun gore, bad level design

After getting all the achievements I must say...

THIS IS THE DENITELY WAY TO PLAY TUROK 2!

Before I was struggling playing in a real hardware N64. And for the time unfortunately, the game was way to much to N64 to handle. 30 fps, bad controls, fog and slowdowns.

Playing in a computer with mouse and keyboard is much better, the game feels way diferent than the original, Nightdive hits the bull with this remaster

Of course the game is not for everyone, the levels are huge and easy to lost. And I have to look at some guides. Turok has the best weapons and I love this game. Try to play first with hard mode, since the game is way easier with update controls and visuals

Buy with the eyes, closed and try others remasters by Nightdive

Nightdive S2

A perfect port of one of my all-time favorite games. To this day, I can't think of another game as satisfyingly visceral as Turok 2. Each new weapon feels unique and the plasma rifle still has the best PEW PEW sound. Darren Mitchell's soundtrack is a perfect compliment for each stage. I could gush about this game forever.

It's a shame we'll likely never see another entry in the Turok franchise quite like this one.

It worked once I got to options set up a few graphics things and turned down the music a little bit played for the 11 mins and I shut down my PC to come back to it later. Went to play the game 1 hr later I got the TUROK 2 loading image and thats was it blue spinning circle and then HORUS64.EXE

I tried to find a fix found one for missing C++ Visual Studio but already have the latest version installed so I got a refund, shame to hear that iconic main music again brought back memories of my N64 days.

Still working through finishing this game but holy crap this is such a letdown by comparison to Turok 1.
My main issues are:

-Levels (and especially later one) are extremely convoluted. (I couldn't finish the bug level).
-Maps are barely helpful.
-Enemy collisions are wack. You have to be extremely precise with your aim. (Unless I'm supposed to use auto-aim)?
~Music is forgettable but that's just a minor problem.

I almost never review a game before finishing but this was so bad I felt I had to give a warning to not buy this. I will try to complete Turok 2 and update if I change my mind. (Maybe it's like a search action game and I have to collect items from another level to finish a different one)? I really hope Turok 3 is better because I played the first recently and it holds up better than Unreal and Half-Life.

A much more expanded sequel compared to the first, more weapons, more enemies, more lore and narration and more variety with levels.

You also have to unlock skills to progress further in some of the levels (akin to Powerslave and Metroid Prime) as well as getting parts of the last weapon (in the same way as the Chronoscepter of the first entry) and the final key (akin to the first game's).

The only downside is that you can get easily lost in some of the levels (especially the one with the cavern maze) but thankfully you have a Doom-esque automap to see where you've been already.

Fun games are always fun. I never beat this when I had it for the N64. So I had to come back and do it this way. Great game!!

Good one. Now remaster South Park N64 in this engine.

You'll get lost and you'll be annoyed about it, and the map won't help you too much, but heyoo it's fuckin TUROK 2 BABY and this is definitely the best version of it too. N64 version runs like poopoo. Don't play the N64 version.

The gunplay in this one feels a LOT more responsive than the first one. Enemies will take damage relative to where you shoot them, and when you're not too busy being lost, the levels are actually really fun and interesting to explore.

I like it a lot, some people don't. The level design can indeed be a little obtuse at times but y'know I still like it. If you don't like getting lost in games, maybe check out the first one instead as it's a little more linear.

I dunno what it is, but I seem to keep coming back to Turok 1 and 2. Quake's dope, Half Life was cool, all those other early 3D shooters are cool, but there's something about Turok man. I think I just like jungles, maybe that's what it is.

Wow! Good old game! A pleasant surprise was that the game feels like a fast-paced shooter and is visually appealing even now! On top of that, the game has great music and interesting secrets/level design!

Great game, I loved it, and it plays much better than it's predecessor!.

I am Turok ;-)

Started off kinda liking it but I really lost interest the further I got and I dropped it

a very fun game from the n64 brought to pc with some QoL. whats more is this is one of the better titles from the turok franchise so you can be rest assured that this is a fun game that aged really well. i just wish there was more done especially considering the price. the game after all just has a bit crispier graphics, better controls and settings, along with some subtle changes to make it more of a enjoyable experience (like some guidance where to go when you are lost). probably best to grab it when it goes on sale

The soundtrack still hits so gooooood after all these years.

It's good, great combat, really vibey.

BUT, the game suffers greatly from a very frustrating and convoluted map design. You often find yourself backtracking to complete objectives, finding keys.

Level 4 is the worst and I hope who ever designed it has diarrhoea for a week

A truly peerless piece of preservation work, lovingly and skillfully done, for a game that absolutely does not deserve it.
