Summary

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is the sequel to F.E.A.R. and continues the series' trademark blend of supernatural horror and suspense. Many mechanics from the original first-person shooter have made their way into the game, like slow motion bullet time, and intelligent AI. New gameplay elements have also been introduced, like grab and drag movable cover, combat mechs, and iron sight aiming. The environments are now more open and less linear than those in the first game, and are also more diverse.

THE TERRIFIC NIGHTMARE

As a teenager,this was the game that made me sleepless for nights,it was my first personal terrifying experience.
I still remember the day I borrowed my friend's Core2Duo acer laptop to play this gem and never finished it just because it was really scary even without headphones.
ALMA in FEAR 2 is truly horrifying to this day in my books.
Creating this horrifying woman alone is a masterpiece that I couldn't think of anyone else besides LAURA from evil within.
Idk why this is not popular in survival horror series but man this is some top tier horror I have ever experienced just for the psychotic level design.
Playing this in hard mode for the third time now, recently played TREPANG which is a spiritual successor of this series and it was a BANGER that made me dive back to this gem and give a review.
Just wow
I gotta say this is a magnificent game that still gives me goosebumps to this day.
MONOLITH created a perfect mixture of FPS reflex time mechanics with unique horror twist much better from the Original.
The REFLEX system with weapons and grenade variants works beautifully when you slow down time,it's highly replayable.
Difficulty on hard mode with enemy AI is very well done but they still suck since you have the reflex ability,not the robots.
Yes this game has robots and they are freaking gruesome.
The fact that you can slow down time when
getting jumpscares is funny.
Atmosphere changes from time to time and it will keep you on your toes and send you shivers down the spine.
A psychotic nightmare and then raging towards enemies by slaying them in slow paced,it's the great culmination.
The Hospital Level alone is the best I can think of, it was Original.
This game is silent in sound design with pure loneliness but it will hint you to be ready whenever something appears.
Graphics and visuals are pretty good and haven't aged.
The story is meh but not that bad ,they put some good effort into it which works great considering this is a horror fps.
Have you ever wondered an antagonist obsessed with the protagonist,well this is the game.
Fear 1 is great but this one is cherry on the cake which will be always personal to me.
It was an innovative masterpiece back in 2009 that still holds up in my horror library.

ALMA still gives me Insomnia.

Originally this game wasn't going to be called F.E.A.R 2 due to legal issues with Warner Brothers and Vivendi iirc.

It shows, it serves as a reboot/sequel and undoes everything good about the first game, the ending is the only notable thing about it and that's just because it's weird.

Really cool story, good gameplay and decent horror but the level design always looks the same and feels like going over infinite corridors of a building killing the same idiots over and over again it gets repetitive fast. But is way better than the first.

The F.E.A.R series needs a remastered.

Fear 2 is something better than the previous version, but not good at landing a memorable experience.

Un destino cruel. En esta esperada secuela controlamos a becked, un soldado del equipo delta el cual tiene como misión infiltrarse, pero lo que no sabía es que Alma se fijaría en el para que viva una auténtica pesadilla. La jugabilidad es igual a su anterior juego excepto por una no edad, un arma de clavos que está genial. Los gráficos están muy buenos en enemigos y escenarios, una buena evolución de la saga. Al igual que el anterior el silencio es escalofriante y la música cumple. Para mi tiene de nota un 8,4 una secuela que es muy buena y aunque no sea mejor que el anterior juego cumple con creces.
