Killing Time: Resurrected

this is the only good way to play this cool FPS explorer game. If it is cheao then give this a go. RECOMMENDED!!!

Killing Time: Resurrected is masterfully revamped by Nightdive Studios. I remember playing the OG Killing Time on a handful of instances. I liked it then and I mostly like it now. I think my big issue is the game like most games of the 90s (Hexen, DOOM, Duke Nukem etc), suffer from massive time wasting whether that's back tracking or tedious puzzles. KT:R suffers from NOT KNOWING WHERE THE HELL TO GO! There is absolutely no indicators on what locations to go to and in what order, so you end up with dead ends requiring a key to move forward. Problem is once you've cleared areas enemies don't respawn so you are left with huge gaps of empty areas. It's just not fun, the only real way to play the game is use a guide. I'm a stickler on NOT using guides for the first play throughs of a game. If you have to use one to figure out what to do, I'm not going to be giving the game a thumbs up. HOWEVER, since this is a old game it'll get a pass. I think KT:R is worth buying especially if you grew up on these 90s FPS shooters. Oh and one last note, the music for KT:R is wonderful!

С патчем 2.0 в ремастер добавили кампании как из оригинальной PC-версии, так и 3DO, так что спустя полтора года комплект получился отличный.

I think this might be my favorite retro shooter - fighting ferociously for the top spot with BLOOD!

Killing Time: Resurrected is a faithful yet ambitious revival of a forgotten first-person shooter that originally appeared during the experimental era of the mid-1990s. Developed by Nightdive Studios in partnership with 3DO and published by Nightdive Studios, Ziggurat, and Atari, this remaster does far more than simply update an old game for modern hardware. It restores content, enhances presentation, and combines elements from different versions of the original release to create what feels like the definitive edition of a cult classic. The result is a game that successfully bridges the gap between retro nostalgia and contemporary convenience while preserving the strange identity that made the original memorable. The story revolves around the mysterious Conway Estate located on Matinicus Island. Players arrive expecting to uncover the truth behind a supernatural event tied to the wealthy and eccentric Tess Conway. Her obsession with immortality led her to acquire an ancient Egyptian artifact known as the Water Clock of Ramses, a relic capable of manipulating time itself. What follows is a catastrophic ritual that traps souls, unleashes horrors across the estate, and leaves the island suspended in a nightmare. The narrative unfolds through exploration and a large number of live-action ghost encounters that reveal the fate of the estate's residents and guests. Even decades after its original release, the story remains distinctive thanks to its blend of supernatural mystery, horror, and dark humor. One of the game's strongest qualities is its atmosphere. The mansion and surrounding grounds create an environment that constantly encourages curiosity. Hidden rooms, secret passages, locked doors, and interconnected locations make exploration feel rewarding. Rather than leading players through a straightforward sequence of levels, the game presents a large and intricate world filled with environmental clues and optional discoveries. The estate feels alive despite its haunted condition, and every new area reveals another piece of the larger mystery. Combat retains the spirit of classic first-person shooters while offering enough variety to remain entertaining throughout the adventure. Players encounter an assortment of bizarre enemies that range from zombies and gangsters to grotesque supernatural creatures. Some opponents are genuinely unsettling while others embrace the game's eccentric personality. The weapon arsenal provides satisfying firepower and encourages experimentation as players uncover new tools for survival. Although the combat may feel somewhat old-fashioned compared to modern shooters, its simplicity complements the exploration-focused design rather than overshadowing it. The remaster's technical improvements significantly enhance the experience. High-resolution visuals, smoother performance, modern control options, and quality-of-life upgrades make the game much easier to enjoy than its original incarnation. Nightdive Studios has also restored content from both the PC and 3DO versions, effectively merging the strengths of each release. This approach gives players access to a richer and more complete experience while preserving the unique charm of the original game. Longtime fans will appreciate the respect shown toward the source material, while newcomers can enjoy the adventure without struggling against outdated technical limitations. The live-action video sequences remain one of the game's most distinctive features. Dozens of ghostly encounters are scattered throughout the estate, providing story details and clues while giving the game a personality unlike almost any other shooter. These scenes carry the campy energy of 1990s multimedia productions, but they also contribute significantly to the game's atmosphere. Rather than feeling like a gimmick, the FMV elements help establish the tragic history of the Conway Estate and make the cast of lost souls surprisingly memorable. Despite its strengths, the game is not entirely free from issues. Some puzzles can be obscure, and progression occasionally requires more exploration than modern players may be accustomed to. The sprawling layout can lead to moments of disorientation, especially when searching for specific keys or objectives. Certain combat encounters also reveal the age of the original design, with enemy placement and navigation sometimes feeling rough around the edges. However, many of these shortcomings are tied directly to the game's retro roots and may even be viewed as part of its appeal by fans of classic shooters. What ultimately makes Killing Time: Resurrected stand out is its willingness to be different. It combines horror, puzzle-solving, exploration, action, and mystery into a package that refuses to fit neatly into a single genre. The game embraces bizarre enemy designs, unusual storytelling methods, and an atmosphere that shifts effortlessly between creepy and absurd. Few modern games possess this level of individuality, and the remaster ensures that a once-overlooked title can finally reach a broader audience. For players who enjoy classic first-person shooters, haunted mansion mysteries, and games that reward exploration, Killing Time: Resurrected is an excellent rediscovery. It may not have the polish of modern blockbuster releases, but it offers something far more distinctive: a genuinely unique adventure preserved and enhanced with remarkable care. The combination of restored content, memorable atmosphere, engaging exploration, and successful modernization makes it one of the stronger retro remasters released in recent years. Rating: 8/10

I never played this game back in the day, don't even remember it existing, so have no nostalgia for it, but an hour in it's pretty good! Fun enemies and gunplay, imaginative environments. The only downside really is the open world structure can leave you increasingly lost. Recommend all boom shoot fans try it out, especially on sale.

[h1]Small but absolutely filled to the brim with charm [/h1] Killing time is a great open world classic fps made fantastic with this remaster. While combat doesn't reach the heights of other fps of its era it greatly makes up for it with its exploration, atmosphere and plain charm. Going for more realistic building (by 90s fps standards) makes exploration a joy though it does lead to some very cramped level design. The live action fmv "cutscenes" are again just so charming and surprisingly very well done even if incredibly cheesy. still combat has it problems with a small weapon pool, 2 of which are basically redundant, and while there is a good variety of enemies none of them are different enough to need different strategies. Be aware the vessels you collect can be used as items, the game never really tells you but use the bracket keys to select and enter to use. There pretty overpowered but have limited use. The game is very small though, going in completely blind it took around 5 hours and lots of that comes down to item hunting, after knowing where everything was it only took me a little under 2 hours. The item hunting might be a sticking point to some people but outside of one vague puzzle I never needed a guide. One thing that if you realize makes the game so much easier is [spoiler]the fact all the keys are inside the house and garden[/spoiler]. On specifically the what this remaster does it essentially taking the visuals of the 3do version and applying it to the campaign of the open pc version. The default version is honestly the best of both worlds but does tweak things like damage, ammo and a couple of rooms that where just awful in the original. Luckily you can chance all the major changes either using the mod menu to change to a specific version of the game or the enhancement menu to pick and choose different aspects.
