Killing Time: Resurrected is a curiosity from the past that makes for a great time capsule even if it isn't all that great of a game. ??

Destructoid: 8.5 / 10 by Zoey Handley

This might be Nightdive’s most important remaster. While the developer has helped polish up already popular games like Quake and System Shock, Killing Time benefits far more from their tender touch. It was already great, but this remaster makes it easier to digest. It really brings out its highlights, allowing the whole thing to shine a lot brighter. If you have never explored Matinicus Island, Killing Time: Resurrected is easily the best way to do so, and it’s high time you did.

NookGaming: 8 / 10 by Andrew Camac

I absolutely love Killing Time: Resurrected and couldn't be more surprised, when I saw the fact this has similar origins to the horrendous PO'ED as a 3DO shooter. I went in expecting the worst and came out with a new game for my top 10 classic first-person shooters list. It's quirky, it's fun, and in my personal opinion, it pushed the envelope at the time. The game isn't going to be for everyone. It's almost punk in how janky and strange it looks and plays. But, if you can go in with an open mind and just allow yourself to get absorbed by the Water Clock and its mystery, you've got yet again another banger remaster by the kings and queens of remasters Nightdive Studios.
