Non-linear crap. You have to replay missions, over and over again, to complete missed objectives. You have to fight the same enemies, each time you go back through a level for missing keys/etc. Take the level called Hive of the Mantids, for example. Missed destroying one of the embryos? Well, get ready to play the level, on repeat, until you find it. You run around, aimlessly, expelling ammo on unlimited enemies, …

Yup - it's still hard. BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND kept me alive during the N64 days of playing this incredible game, but I'm trying to make my way through the quest to stop the Primagen without cheats this time. Turok 2 is still as fun as you remember, with brutal weapons, aggressive enemies that use cover and huge, sprawling levels. It's still very possible to get hopelessly lost, but a little patience usually sees you …

Thanks to this remaster, I have finally overcome a childhood fear and completed Turok 2! Do I recommend this game? Well, yes, but unless you are a fan of old school videogame design or have a large dose of nostalgia for this title you may find some of the level design a little frustrating. There might also be a little backtracking if you missed certain items along the way, However, this remaster allows you to save …

Here we go, Turok, part 2. Same as first but totally different. This time devs fkd up a cool game with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ level design. Not actual level design (because it's pretty cool), but making stupid objectives mandatory to finish the level. And hiding those objectives in labyrinth-like levels. Like those objectives are not mandatory things to complete but super-duper secrets. Honestly, this game would be significantly …

I expected a simple N64 port, but this is a well made remaster with better graphics, smoother framerate and regular updates. Sadly, the depth perception and walking animation triggers motion sickness for me after a few minutes. Still, thumbs up.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Seeds of Evil received "generally favorable" reviews according to Metacritic and sold 1.4 million copies by January 1999. Next Generation praised the game's technical aspects and improvements over its predecessor, while GameSpot described Seeds of Evil as "a landmark shooter and a must-buy", stating that the game "raised the bar for first-person shooters" like Rare's 1997 title GoldenEye 007. The graphics were seen as one of the strongest aspects of the game. Nintendo Power remarked that, in high-resolution mode, Seeds of Evil was "as stunning" as the most sophisticated computer games of the time, saying that "not even the crisp reality of GoldenEye 007 or the rich fantasy of Zelda looks…

In the most metal name change possible, the game was retitled "Violence Killer Turok New Generation" for the NTSCJ release, though the Gameboy Color version (with a different story) remained Turok 2 and added "Space Warrior"!

In Turok 2 on N64, if you type in "WHATSATEXUREMAP" into the cheats, you can turn off all the game's textures and get a good look at the raw game world. 🦖

After playing it last night and getting level 1 done, I love it, only the movement isn’t quite as good as 1

Nightdive previously released a remaster of the original Turok: Dinosaur Hunter on PC in 2015, before also remastering its sequel Turok 2: Seeds of Evil in 2017. Both remasters were released on Xbox One in 2018, Switch in 2019 and PS4 in 2021. The Turok 3 remaster will release on all platforms simultaneously, launching on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC on November 14.

I mean I guess it is pretty hard to come up with something cooler than Cyber augmented Trex or 3 humvees
positive · AI labelView post →If you started a multiplayer game in Turok 2, then used the “all levels” cheat, you’d be transported to the level of your choosing but somehow in a fake co-op mode. It was broken as all hell and you couldn’t complete the level, but it was neat to play an FPS co-op back on the N64.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Turok 2 was initially released on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, and it could've been a contender. It had enemy scripting and graphics comparable to Half-Life, sprawling levels flush with secrets, a rogue's gallery of half-a-dozen beautifully rendered non-human cultures to slaughter, a far superior arsenal to any first person shooter on the market, a grander scope than most western console roleplaying games of the era, split-screen multiplayer with multiple game modes, a robust cheat engine and…

It's like they mashed 5 different levels into one, and then make you find a niddle in there somewhere. 1st one was a straightforward shooter with a very flat and simple levels. But this one makes me wanna throw my monitor into a wall. Brother.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Turok 2: Seeds of Evil improves on its predecessor in many ways, but the ways in which it fails ultimately makes it a far worse experience. The weapons are cooler, the combat feels tighter, and the enemy variety is better. Unfortunately, the level and general game design completely kills the experience. The best word I can use to describe this game is convoluted. The maps are often a nightmare to navigate, with the game constantly asking you to find some specific hidden lever that opens some…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This feels incredibly faithful to the original N64 game but that isn't always a good thing. Game feels like they make the levels confusing for padding in the game. Labyrinthian. Also was hoping there would be more hints from the remaster on what to do, but not really.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do miss the feeling of playing deep multiplayer modes in fps with friends in the same room. I'll never forget when my buddies and I would enjoy Turok 2 with its over the top weaponry and gore. It was amazing using the cerebral bore to pop enemy's/friend's (haha) heads off. 😂 CW- for game violence.
positive · AI labelView post →Man I started up Turok 2 on the Switch. Feels so weird because this feels like the second game I must have ever played in my entire life and I must have been 5-8 years old. I remember this game being a complete maze and hard without BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND turned on.
neutral · AI labelView post →What a miserable time I had while playing even just the first level of turok 2! The first game was already pushing what I could endure with its maze levels and collecting hidden keys requirements but this one turned that up to 12. T2 is a game made for a time when you would get one cartridge every few months, in 2026 there are much better games to play.

neutral · AI labelView post →The game improves on the original Turok when it comes to cool and creative weapons, but thats the only positive thing i can think of for this game. Combat feels horrible, sometimes it takes 1 shot to kill your enemy, while another time it takes 5 shots for the same enemy type, it feels incredibly inconsistent and awful. Some levels are fun and look nice, but having stupid objectives and forcing players to come back once they obtain a new ability ruins the immersion and overall fun of the…
