F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin + Reborn

I really like the action and there are a few jump scares that are good, but the original F.E.A.R. did it better with the atmosphere. I think this is more of a Crysis with F.E.A.R. sprinkled in, but it is still solid.

序：这个系列久仰大名。时隔多年才有幸接触，显然我是以今天的眼光去审视这个系列的。 先体验的是系列的第一部，简单总结就是氛围感营造的很好，物理系统和AI都很出彩。武器和场景都设计的很用心，DLC的份量也很足。但FPS的弊端也很明显，引擎的落后和建模的粗糙表现是无法避免的，线性流程的重复感和冗长的剧情让玩家在弹出演员表的那一刻反倒倍感轻松。 一代其实最喜欢的地方就是阴郁冰冷的氛围。 二代整体设计没有完全延续一代的风格。场景设计依旧很用心，很多环境细节都能看出mono下了多大的功夫。不过可惜的是游戏的节奏似乎变得火爆起来，虽然我用的是一个褒义词，但玩过一代的玩家应该明白我在说什么。一代开枪效果只有敌人的血浆和墙上斑驳的弹痕。二代则加入大量的光效让场面变得热闹，所以战斗过程中这种热乎乎的画面完全遮盖了游戏内核所要表达的精神。最出戏的就是机甲战斗，上一代的唯唯诺诺到这一代变成重拳出击了。考虑当时的第一人称射击游戏环境，倒也能理解。 整体流程不算长，配置要求也不高，基本水准还是在线的，建议有闲暇时间的玩家且对极度恐慌1代剧情有兴趣的了解，那么这一代你也可以试试。

Sometimes I look at F.E.A.R. 2 and I get reminded of an idea I had when I was younger. Instead of focusing exclusively on Alma, maybe the F.E.A.R. series could've been an anthology, each one focusing on some new paranormal phenomenon mixed with great gunplay. Instead, we got this and F.3.A.R. Mind you, F.E.A.R. 2 isn't a terrible game. Far from it. It's competent, the game feels nice to play, it's a decent length for what you pay for. But it's one of those games that feel wholly unnecessary, barely achieving a fraction of what made it's predecessor so fun and engaging. It feels more cartoony, with less environmental interactions and more jelly-like blood sprayed everywhere. The paranormal sequences are amplified ten-fold, and while some moments are genuinely unsettling compared to the first game's admittedly terrible jumpscares, it's not the majority of the experience. Not even gonna touch the story with a ten foot pole. While I appreciated the audacity they had to attempt an ending like that, it really comes off as being in poor taste while setting up the third game for failure. Some positives: there are some sequences involving a mech which are pretty fun, and they continue into the third game. The DLC bundled with this game is a kind addition. Some new weapons are incredibly fun to use, and both the school level and final boss are visually interesting. I still had fun. Don't get me wrong, I had fun. And I'd even say that you'd have fun if you gave it a shot too. Just don't go into it expecting anything like the first F.E.A.R. game. I remember preferring F.E.A.R. 2 when I was younger, if that means anything.

Many will say the first one is better. It just put the emphasis on the horror more and not on the action and laid out the foundation for the games, the 2nd one is the best because of the improved graphics, story, the DLC is incredible although short and it is far more challenging.

One of my all time favourites, the GOG version of FEAR 2 Project Origin is perfect. I usually play with HD/4k and mouse fixing mods, avaliable from NexusMods.
