F.E.A.R. Platinum

Mechanically, FEAR is a good bullet-time tactical shooter with a linear structure reminiscent of Half-Life. What elevates it to greatness is the powerful feel of combat created by excellent sound design and blood and particle effects straight out of a John Woo film. This is further enhanced by excellent enemy AI and combat arenas built around multiple interweaving paths. The game has a wonderfully tense atmosphere created through cutting-edge dynamic lighting and a masterful use of silence and ambient sounds. Still, it's not really a horror game, at least for most of it. They sprinkle hallucinations and the odd jump scare throughout but you quickly learn that they're harmless and you don't even have to look when they happen. It adds a nice horror vibe but it won't really scare you as you play. But that's fine; it means you can still enjoy the game if (like me) you don't like horror. P.S. I strongly recommend playing on the highest difficulty – it's not that hard (especially with quicksaves) and it really maximises the enemy AI. Also I had screen tearing issues so I'd turn on V-Sync.

Great story, REALLY fun gameplay, and using slow motion is awesome. Easy recommend, great game. If you want to buy the game, and not the other games in the series, this is the best way to buy it. Its an amazing game, and I think any horror/fps fan should play it.

Just an overall great game. The presentation in this game is masterful, something about the game in a way looks odd, in a good way. It just gives this creepy feeling, like something is wrong. This game is action horror, some events in this game got me good the first time. The game contains a lot of dream like and grotesque imagery. And man that opening gives me chills, the music, the camera work, it's just masterful and really sets the tone of the game. The story is also very good. But if you didn't pay attention and didn't listen to some voice calls in the game the story can easily get confusing. The story does have many twists and turns, and the tone is really dark. I won't spoil anything. The gameplay is where F.E.A.R truly shines the most. The combat is just insanely good for many reasons: 1. Amazing AI- this game easily has one of the best enemy AI even to this very day. Replica soldiers will communicate with each other in a realistic manner and will do a lot of complex actions while in combat. 2. Impactful Shooting- the shooting in this game feels really satisfying, you can turn an enemy into pool of blood with a shotgun, vaporize enemies with particle canon and send the enemy flying with explosive weapons. The sound design is also really good 3. Slow Mo- this is the main mechanic of the game. The reason above is even better with this. You can watch your enemies fall in slow motion as you go on a rampage 4. Destructible enviroment- the enviroments in most cases are destructible You can make giant holes on concrete, things like paper will fly if shot, glass breaks,dust rises ect... Combine all this with amazing particle effects while in mid combat and it adds a whole new layer of over the top action.

Great tactical fps with some horror elements mixed in, it has really fun gunplay and everything looks and sounds good despite the game's age. It drags a bit around the halfway point but generally stays fresh and interesting throughout. I was left feeling a little disappointed that there wasn't some sort of really intense final fight I could use all the gear I had collected on, but the story kinda makes up for that. Definitely worth your time, and would be a great candidate for some sort of remake someday.

dont run great for some reason only getting 34-40fps
