Summary

"F.E.A.R." (First Encounter Assault Recon) is a critically acclaimed first-person shooter game released in 2005, developed by Monolith Productions and published by Sierra Entertainment. Blending psychological horror with intense combat, "F.E.A.R." puts players in the role of a point man in a special forces team tasked with containing a mysterious and powerful paranormal threat. The game's advanced AI, atmospheric storytelling, and impressive graphics create a deeply immersive experience. Players must navigate through dark, foreboding environments, battling both human enemies and supernatural entities while uncovering the dark secrets behind the paranormal phenomena. Renowned for its tense atmosphere, dynamic firefights, and haunting narrative, "F.E.A.R." stands out as a landmark title in the horror shooter genre.

An excellent masterclass in level design, weapon sounds and AI. Loses points for Mr Mapes, who is one of the least funny characters I've ever ran into, but it's still a very good time.

Struggles a bit in the middle with the Armacham levels, two hours of samey looking areas. But I like this one a lot!

I have fun playing through this game. The gameplay is your standard first person shooter which is generic, but it does add in some interesting things. Like the slow motion helps you kill enemies easily. The horror aspects gives off a eerie vibe with its hallucinations of you seeing stuff and is creepy when you see it. Also, it's challenging with you going against a army of soilders and how they can easily damage you and there limited health. The story is interesting to learn about with the supernatural and who thus mysterious girl is.

Overall, I have fun playing throughout the game and is recommended.

F.E.A.R. is a shooter of its time, that is, a video game generation that was throwing out FPSs every minute. This game, unlike many of its contemporaries, is clean, challenging, with a satisfying atmosphere (but with limited variety in settings). I enjoyed the 10 hours I spent on it, but I played it almost solely for the pleasant shooting and because I forced my curiosity. In fact, the story is not exceptional, and is told mostly (but not only) through logs found in the game areas. The final level is lacking, and the ending not too satisfying. Nevertheless, I come away from this game satisfied and curious to try its sequels.
