Turok ranks ninth as the easiest way to hunt dinosaurs on almost any computer. The Steam page opens with "Turok is back and no dinosaur is safe" and describes Nightdive Studios' remaster of the 1997 shooter, in which the time-traveling warrior Turok searches the Lost Land for pieces of the Chronoscepter. You get 14 weapons, from the Grenade Launcher to the Atomic Fusion Cannon, plus a new visual engine, widescreen and high-resolution support and fully rebindable controls. Its 93% positive score across 2,498 English Steam reviews ties Jurassic World Evolution 3 for the highest share here, and it needs only 1 GB of RAM and 800 MB of storage on Windows, macOS or Linux. The limits: it is a single-player shooter with no taming, breeding or park building, and $19.99 is a full price for a game first released in 1997. Players who want to hunt dinosaurs against other people should pick Primal Carnage: Extinction.
