Barker meets Lovecraft in a FPS
When it comes to mixing a horror themed game and a FPS you can't go with having Clive Barker involved. The story has some Lovecraftian touches and the enemy design is quite unique and the settings range from a Victorian horror mansion to tribal jungle levels. The game relies on the story and atmosphere. It builds with its limited graphics a nice spooky surrounding that will suck you in. Various journals, letters and other documents flesh out the eerie setting and leave enough questions to the player to be motivated to dive deeper into the mystery of the game. The presentation has aged a bit, but it still works fine for this game. The music and sound effects add a lot to the creepiness of the title. The 3D graphics look dated, but still carry the atmosphere of the game well enough to not look odd. It helps that the focus of the game isn't gore. The level design could be better though. Not having a map or any real indicator where to go next can be a problem in the big hub level. Other level just drag on for too long. This isn't that much a problem in the first half of the game, but in the later levels it shows that the game was padded out to make it longer. It's still one of the best horror themed games and for me the best horror themed FPS that you can get :)
