F.E.A.R. Platinum

This game was 15 years old at the time I played it, and I would say that I haven't played a game in the past 10 years that has better gunfights than this game. Of course, there are aspects of it that are dated, and be aware that you might need to tweak a few things to get this game running well. While the graphics are obviously dated, the amazing lighting really helps the overall appearance of the game. The sound design is solid as well. The voice acting is so-so, but everything else sounds great, particularly the guns (with the exception of the assault rifle). The actual gunplay is top-notch. Guns are visceral, loud, and have a wonderful and terrible effect on the enemies you fight. The enemies feel smart - they will actively and effectively try to flank you, and make tactical maneuvers that I had never seen in shooters before (e.g., knocking things over for cover, crawling under things to surpise you, somersaulting over objects to get into cover, etc.). You have a time-slowing mechanic, which is implemented really well. I think my favorite part of the gunplay is the aftermath, however. The environments reflect the intensity of the gun fight you just engaged in. There might be papers and dust in the air from where bullets hit a desk or drywall, objects will be askew from that grenade you threw, and blood splatters the wall from when you let loose your smg on the clone trooper that was trying to flank you. It's a beautiful thing - Exceedingly well done. It's not all good, however. The game does get slightly repetitive. You will fight the same enemies in similar environments the entire game. The story is interesting enough, but it's told in a disparate way that makes it unecessarily hard to peice to together. Finally, the horror elements are there, but it's not a scary game. Regardless of flaws and age, this game is absolutely worth your time. Sure, you'll be fighting clone troopers in office environments the entire game, but you'll love doing it.

I enjoy GOG immensely don't get me wrong, i bought F.E.A.R. Platinum Edition since january, the only reason i haven't posted this comment before is because when downloading this 10 GB file, keeping in mind that i built my own computer from scratch, thus this could be why but from the base game, Extraction Point & Perseus Mandate. The only one that runs at least to get me to the main menu so i can start the game is Perseus Mandate the others do NOT run, it turns into a black screen and waiting wont let me start the main menu; to make things short only ONE of the dlc's work, so view discretion is advised... you are warned, just in case you decide to buy this platinum edition.

play it!

The game doesnt work on Windows 11, maybe someday gog would do something about it, but who knows?, just dont buy it if you are on Windows 11.

Its really good
