F.E.A.R. Platinum

The controls for the controller input still does not work even with and Xbox controller. i tried with my old logitech controller from back in 2006 and that still does not register either. with the last update to this game i figured they would have fixed this issue they have had since they released this on there game list but yet here we are in 2025 still having issues. i have used x360, a controller input program that works with many other games but this is the only game so far it does not fix controller input. GOG DEV team please fix this issue. this iis one of the many legendary games from back in the day that alot of gamers miss playing.

This game's still tense and feels great to play, shooting is fantastic. Simply timeless, iconic FPS.

It's not without technical problems but still held my attention long enough for me to complete both it and both the DLC and the additional missions. Yes I needed the FPS fix executable and yes I had to the play the DLC in a lower resolution then I'm used to but It's an old game and I recognise that things may not be perfect. Was it fun? Well it held my attention until the end. Was it worth the money? Absolutely and am I thankful that it's over so I can move on? Yes, the story did get a little boring and I was beginning to get fed up shooting the same old bad guys again and again...... Would I recommend? Well actually if you like FPS games and you're not to proud to revisit history then yes I do.

The gameplay is still top notch, playing just as smoothly as when it first came out. Putting aside the fact that a lot of the game is grey hallways, the high quality textures and effects means that it has aged a lot better than some of the games of the same era. While Perseus Mandate is lacking in areas, Extraction Point is almost as good as the original F.E.A.R., and both EP and F.E.A.R. make this package well worth the price of admission.

Important fixes for modern computers: - FPS Fix; - Small subtitles fix. Google them before playing or it's probably unplayable. The good: - The combat is awesome and addictive. - The AI of the enemies is impressive even for today's standards... most of the time. These are certainly the elements that got the game a lot of critical praise when it released. The bad: - Could have been more polished. There are plenty of small bugs in the game, one of the common ones being getting stuck in a door if you go through the doorway as soon as you open it, so you will have to load the last quicksave to continue. It happened to me around 4-5 times during my playthrough. Subtitles also don't match the voice acting in quite a few instances, like the writers weren't even decided on the story yet when they released the game. - The story is unplausible, especially if you take into account the entire series. No matter how much you try to suspend your disbelief, a few elements just make absolutely no sense, such as how a baby super-soldier was left to live a normal life by a corporation that has no problem forcefully impregnating little girls, never thinking this would come back to bite them in the ass, or minimum wage security guards committing murder and fighting special forces for their employer. I can't give worse examples than these without spoiling it, but there are much worse ones. If you play this game, play it for the combat. Overall, I was expecting a bit more considering how much praise this game gets, but it's still a solid purchase for the combat alone.
