Honestly, I really enjoyed it. The plot twists, gameplay, and story are what make this game stand out. The mix of a first-person shooter with paranormal horror is something pretty unique, and this was actually the first game of that kind I ever played. I definitely recommend it if you’re into shooters and paranormal stuff—I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, maybe even more.

Thank you Echo Patch. You're a hero. God bless you for making F.E.A.R. playable again!

F.E.A.R. (2005) remains a monumental first-person shooter today, almost twenty years after its release. What's still impressive is its artificial intelligence, still considered one of the best in video game history. Enemies don't just charge in headfirst: they coordinate, try to outflank the player, use the surroundings for cover, and create a true sense of tactical combat. Even in 2025, very few games manage to achieve this level of believability in combat.

The horror atmosphere, blending fast-paced action with tense moments, still works perfectly. The visual and sound effects, although technically dated, retain a unique charm and enhance the immersion.

The DLCs extend the experience with new environments and new battles, offering a real additional thrill for those who loved the base game.

In short, F.E.A.R. and its expansions are timeless classics: an FPS that marked its time and remains a benchmark today thanks to a simply legendary AI.

Good game but holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥ needs a remaster this is outdated as ♥♥♥♥

Perfect blend of old-school FPS design and tactical FPS design. Linear levels, decent movement speed, half-life-esque story driven game with tactical shooter elements. oh and horror stuff too but it isn't that scary. Patch the .exe because the original exe runs with 2GB of ram, also the echopatch.

A nice game that mixes action and horror. For me it needed something other than going around shooting people to make the game really good. 7/10

old, most definitely dated. but still a really fun ride. Again, dated, no ADS just a zoom, weird health pack and armor pick ups, and janky AI. but all in all if you can get past the jank there is a really solid game here with great atmosphere and neat story.

good game

One of the greatest shooters ever made, stumbles a bit in the last act - overall though well worth your time.

How had I not played this before? It's an absolute banger.
