Thoroughly Mediocre
Fear is a passable 6/10 game in isolation. It's generic and mediocre, and reminds me strongly of every FPS game from 2006-2010. There's very little unique or interesting to say about it. But it's even worse in the context of FEAR 1. I'm not going to harp on the AI, because I think people overinflated the AI from F1 and F2's felt very similar most of the time. But, there are many other things that are annoying: * Visuals have not aged as well. Lots of mid-2000's bloom going on. Looks extremely generic visually. * The music feels very generic, and frequently doesn't fit the tone of the scene * Shaky-cam and flinch is way overused * Way too easy on normal. Health, ammo and armor are absurdly plentiful. Hard doesn't make enemies smarter, just makes them 1-shot you which isn't a challenge * Sprint is pathetic. Why is it even here? * Too much text to read, and most isn't interesting. I stopped bothering quickly, reminds me of Rise of the Tomb Raider's issues. * Weird obsession with gore. I don't mind gore, it's just odd. I guess gore = scary? It doesn't add anything and doesn't work with the visuals in the way it did in F1. * Writing is standard for an FPS of the time, which is to say it's pretty bad. Not as bad as I heard though. * Weird zoom-in on cinematics, very jarring * Water slows WAY more than it's supposed to. Some kind of high-FPS bug? * Very short - I beat it in 6 hours * Unlike Fear 1, replikas and the other enemies aren't visually distinct. Hard to tell who I was fighting. * Too much tutorialization. I think after picking up ammo once or twice you'd get how it works. On the plus side, it has some cool set-pieces and cinematic moments. But it's not enough to dig it out of this hole.
