half-baked sequel of an timeless FPS, Monolith absolutely butchered everything that made the first game and it's expansions so good notably the gunplay effects, physics, sound-design and many other features such as leaning on corners or even dual wielding pistols.

the horror segments can be a bit terrifying sequences like in the Wade Elementary chapter but the actual atmosphere is not as good like it was before.

the AI that made the first game notable at the time was not heavily downgraded though, they still display dynamic reactions with pulling out shelves for cover or jumping into windows to ambush you and they still make gunfight sequences fun for the most part.

the shooting is also not bad but certainly did not feel as GOOD like in the predecessor.

overall it's an okay game, the combat can be fun for console centered shooters standars, the AI behaviour is mostly intact and the enviroments are varied in comparison to F.E.A.R 1 but that's about it and in the end of the day it is an forgettable sequel that essentially throws away everything that made the predecessor so great, still worth an play if you are looking for an decent enough shooter or just playing through the series but do not expect the perfection of FPS combat like in the previous game.
