"As a compilation, it&s;s a 10-year job for Nightdive, who has thrown out the rest. The game itself won&s;t be to everyone&s;s liking for its irregular difficulty and level design, but it has the undeniable charm of the beast shooters …"

"Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is a lovingly made restoration of a cult favourite FPS title that significantly improves the source material. However, it can’t hide how fundamentally dated and limited the core design is. It just doesn’t stand …"
