WTMG’s Leo Faria: “Once again, this review has very little to complain when it comes to Nightdive’s ability to remaster older games into something accessible and enjoyable for today’s standards. When it comes to their work in this Rise of the Triad remaster, I have nothing but the utmost respect. The problem is that Rise of the Triad is very underwhelming, even for shooters of its time. Boring level design, nearly nonexistent geometry, excessively fast-paced gameplay, an emphasis on platforming when there isn’t even a dedicated means to jump, average-at-best weaponry… this is a game that wouldn’t have impressed me that much in 1995, let alone today. I do appreciate the inclusion of a level editor, however.”
