F.E.A.R. Platinum

This is definitely not the game I remember playing. This game has been poorly optimised to run on newer systems. I'm getting something like 8fps on a GTX970 and that's with the settings turned right down. Its practically unplayable. If I hadn't got it for a few dollars I'd be banging on the door for a refund

A first person shooter with horror elements that was decently challenging and atmospheric. Sure, once you figure out the controls and the enemies you can just glide through the levels like a badass killing everything fairly easily. Yet, the game(s) were fun for me up until the end. I can barely remember any of the story, hardly interesting at all, but the gameplay was addictive and fun. AI is not completely brain-dead like so many FPS's, but I was disappointed after so many people put this game on a pedastal of AI brilliance.

Bought this because of all the great reviews. Not very impressed. The story was generic. Scares just slightly spooky. FPS action is so so.

Positives: - Games works fine on modern systems but you have to get a "FPS fix" and a high resolution font mod. Other than that, you're good to go. - Enough has been said about this game AI, and it is indeed really good. The gun fights feel satisfying. Physics were great for its time and still hold up. I was playing on the highest difficulty and the combat is definitely the best part of the game. Negatives: - The story... it's bad IMO. Uninspired from the start and never gets any better. - The "scary little girl" in horror games is always cringy. - Bland and repetitive. Dull environments, boring characters, everything is a slog.

The game is pretty interesting. The atmosphere givings it a a survival horro experience without a jump scare. Controls are good for the most part. My gripe is that the field of view is narrow and there isn't a way to change it, so you will get motion sickness like I did. I couldn't finish the game because of it.
