F.E.A.R. Reviews

This game is the most fun I had in years with an FPS. It's addictive, frenetic and absolutly scary. I don't know how they managed to do it back then in 2005, but this is one of the best shooter in history. The gameplay is fantastic, is hard but in a really fun way; all the different weapons are so unique and good, that plasma gun will forever be in my hearth; the enemy IA is also extremely well done, to the point it embarrasses contemporary games. The atmosphere and settings is really creepy, I really love how well it meshes both horror and action. My only critique is the lack of enemy variety, you will face almost the same enemies through the entire game. Still, F.E.A.R has become one of my favorites fps ever, i just loved it.

So I actually completely missed out on F.E.A.R. as a series until the third one was already out for a while. When I finally decided to play the first one, I was very impressed by how much I enjoyed it despite being an older shooter and having no nostalgia related to it. Not that I hate older shooters, mind you, but I'm not generally into shooters and the era this comes from isn't my favorite. This totally rules though, and I absolutely recommend it if you're like me and missed out at the time.

This game was super fun. However, there is a bug that caps the game at a really low frame rate for some reason, which is annoying. There is a fix that involves going into device manager. If you're going to charge money for a game in 2025 it should run on the hardware of 2025. Anyway, other than that this game is awesome. I wish I had discovered this 20 years ago

Great game, great studio had some of the best and most innovative games ever - fuck WB

Very fun to play, with decent story. Must buy!

The game may be old, but it does many things better than the latest games today.

Probably this game has the best enemy AI system they are sometimes unpredictable but game has many bugs and glitches so it's not perfect however I need to congratulate devs for very interesting lore and AI system. I recommend this game for Maxpayne,Half Life or Cry of Fear like games fans (I only know one thing:DON'T BUY SEQUELS OF THIS GAME THEY ARE BAD).

I started playing this for the horror experience, but stayed for combat mechanics. I was surprised to discover that enemies employ some tactics instead blindly charging the player.

10/10 game. It's almost 2 decades old but it still holds up today. The most talked about point in this game is it's AI which is simply better than the enemy AI in a lot of modern games. The enemies react to your flashlight, noise of footsteps, noise of melee smashes etc. I won't go into the details because I would like you to see and figure it out yourself. Secondly, it's one of it's kind of game. A horror shooter FPS set in a corporate setting. I know there are many horror shooter FPS games but none come close to this. The sound design is on point and actually makes you $hit your pants during a jumpscare. The soundtrack and sound design is just pure eargasm material. Apart from that the environmental storytelling is great too, the piles of dead bodies and phone calls convey the backstory of the game. The environment is also quite interactive. Walls break off when you shoot them with really heavy guns or grenade launchers, shooting books causes small paper pieces to fly around, cups and glasses break etc. Glasses also produce sound when you walk over them. There are two non canon DLCs for this game called the extraction point and perseus mandate which are installed along with the base game, it's the reason why the game's size is 16GB despite being so old. The DLCs are standalone non canon games. The order is "base game -> Extraction point -> Perseus Mandate" I would definitely recommend you to try out these DLCs since they are far superior than the sequels. Extraction point is as good as the base game and takes about 5 hours to complete. A lot of people hate perseus mandate which is kinda justified since it released in Nov of 2007, the same month the first crysis came out. The graphics of perseus mandate were horrible but if you want more FEAR after trying out the first one and extraction point, I would definitely recommend Perseus Mandate. It has more enemy varieties than the other two games and more gun and I didn't face any bugs in it except two really minor ones. The bundle goes for a really cheap price during sales. Do consider it.
