its like the movie with the thing, in the movie, i forget what that movie is called but its the one with the thing

Nov. 2024

If you like The Thing, this game is great for you. Just from the title card alone you can see how inspired this is from the film, but it kinda lives up to it. Gameplay is more going from spot to spot doing challenges, and of course avoiding monsters. But is pretty solid regardless. Great game to play with friends especially with the 7 buck pricetag.

Chaotic, intense, fun! As an early access title it's very promising, excited to see what comes next from this project!

Nov. 2024

game is awesome, if you're a fan of The Thing you'll love this game. for a 6.99 EA game, honestly well done. has its bugs as any new game does but nothing game breaking. i run the game on a ryzen 5 1660 super. anyone claiming the game is unplayable is either playing on a actual potato or just badge farming. 10/10 recommend for the price tag.

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33401179/]Follow my curator page for more recommendations! If you're a fan of The THING and have always dreamt of a co-op game inspired by the movie, you absolutely have to play this, you won't be disappointed. It is terrifying, difficult, and a pleasant surprise. Nuclear Nightmare is basically The THING in video game format, but with up to 8-player co-op. You can also play solo, but be warned this is a difficult game even with teammates. I've so far played it solo and with one friend, and enjoyed it immensely either way. During a match you'll begin in a random location on a massive pre-made map of Antarctica, and traverse it using snowmobiles, helicopters, or on-foot. Each location on the map is also pre-set, there's no random generation with locations (thankfully), and each area has it's own unique objectives like taking photos of frozen creatures, scanning yourself with an MRI machine while infected, uploading research data, etc. There is an infection mechanic that is intentionally vague, I'm still not sure of every way that you can get infected. If you do, you need to find a vaccine (they spawn all around the map) or you'll become a creature yourself, which you can then take control of and go after your friends. Otherwise the game is purely a PvE co-op game, and a great one at that. There's a day/night cycle, which I feel like by default is too fast, but thankfully you can increase it under match settings along with quite a few other options like enabling creatures to spawn during daytime. By default they only appear at night, which is extremely dark and creepy. Running out of fuel at night and having to run to the closest location, which can often be 300+ meters away, is absolutely terrifying. It's been a long while since I was this consistently tense playing a game. You'll earn XP during matches which you can then spend on unlocking perks or cosmetic skins and emotes. The perks you unlock almost always have a benefit and downside, however you don't start with your unlocked perks. You have to find a vending machine during a match and it'll give you one random perk from your list. You can also decline it if you don't like the perk. For an Early Access game I'm really impressed by the QOL settings available day one. Most of what you could want is available. Plenty of graphic settings, rebindable keys (you can even set two keys to the same action), the ability to disable mouse smoothing, match settings like lowering the overall difficulty, how many objectives need to be completed before you can request an early extract, enable creatures to spawn during daytime, friendly fire, loot drop rate, etc. It is a bit buggy and jank at times, this is to be expected of an Early Access game, but for the most part it's fine. At launch you couldn't join friends but that's been fixed. First person animations are a little wonky, the game uses world models for weapons so they look a bit off, but it's fine for now and doesn't ruin the game. The only other bugs I come across are pretty minor and I post them in a thread I made. The developer seems to be very responsive on the forum, usually replying to everyone's threads. There's already a lot of content here, the map has a lot of areas and I've only been able to successfully extract once. The game is very difficult, but in a fair way. I think it'd take you a lot of playtime before you can handle completing every objective on the map and extracting. The devs have also been putting out bug fixes every day so far and they have a lot of content planned for the future including more maps, yet the game already at this point is easily worth the $6-7.
