Thing Thing 3 Overview
Thing Thing 3 came out during the peak of Flash gaming, a time when you could find a new shooter in your browser every week. It was part of a series known for its straightforward, violent action. You loaded it up expecting a certain kind of chaos, and it delivered without much fuss.
You control a lone soldier fighting through waves of robotic enemies. The moment to moment play is about movement and aiming. You use the arrow keys to run, jump, and duck behind cover, while the mouse controls your aim and firing. Your main objective is simply to survive each stage, clearing rooms of hostile machines. The game gives you a variety of weapons to pick up, from pistols to rocket launchers, and you can even use enemy corpses as temporary shields. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty ramps up quickly, demanding quick reflexes. It feels like a frantic scramble for better weapons while dodging a constant hail of gunfire.
