F.E.A.R. Platinum

Once you get the shotgun, dont drop it. Its the best shotgun in any game, period. Dont be put off by the horror either, the atmosphere is spectacular while not being overwhelming. If you can, play with headphones and on a high difficulty on high graphics if possible for the best action horror experience you'll ever get. Side note if you get an error saying disconnected or the game is failing to load into a new level, put all your graphics on low, then load it up then change them back, that should fix it, but honestly; play the main game, then extraction point, then perseus mandate and forget the other games exist. I cannot recommend this game enough, honestly one of the most cinematic, visceral, satisfyingly gruesome, atmosphere rich games ever released.

Replica soldiers are not turrets They are super soldiers

FEAR really is everything Half Life 2 should have been like. FEAR is one of the most well aged first person shooters to date. This is in most part thanks to it's great gampley and it's terrific lighting system which still managers to make everything look good to this day. It's not a very scary game though. It's a little too much fun to be scary. Which is an odd criticism to say the least. Nonetheless the supernatural parts are great fun. The best thing about this game is the combat itself. Guns have terrific feedback and this game has some of the best AI I've ever seen. It also shows the best use of bullet I've never seen. By no means was FEAR the first to do it but I would go so far to say it does it better then any game before or since. Who would ever thought that something as mundane as shooting glass or puddles of water could look so beautiful.

On GOG, you can get the first one by itself, rather than having to buy the whole franchise bundle with the inferior sequels on steam. Other than that, this game has some of the best AI in a game, they are actually smart and not stupid like most games have. Highly recommended! I'm giving it 4 stars, because you still do need to do some tinkering to get the best experience. But that's not a big deal and will take less than 10 minutes to fix. :)

Game stuck on 20FPS max Win 11. Low or high settings, doesn't matter.
