Played this game again and again every years when fall hits and when I'm gearing up for Halloween season. A must for old-fashioned retro FPS.
Everything from the Smart enemy AI to the chilling atmosphere, next to Half-Life and Doom, this is one of my favorite classic horror FPS ever. To this day, I have yet to see a horror FPS that would match F.E.A.R
The controls for this game takes some time getting use to. I had to download a dx3 file so that I can use my X-Box controller. Nevertheless, this game stands out in terms of good storytelling and narratives. One of the best in the Legacy of Kain series.
I still have the original game on CD back then, which I had some difficulty running on Win 10, even with the Win 95 compatibility settings applied. Thank goodness GOG made it possible, so now I can run the game at max resolution on my current gaming PC without any crashes at all. Even though this game was released back in the 90's, the creepy Victorian gothic and Lovecraft-inspired themes makes it one of the best horror game I've played. If you have a good set of Dolby computer speakers , do yourself a favor and crank up the sound while playing this game at night, especially when playing through the catacomb levels.
