One of the best first person shooters of it's time. Guns make massive holes in walls and enemies burst like sacks of blood, all while dust and debris fly off into the air. Truly some of the most satisfying gunplay in a game.

Maybe this is just a me thing, but it wasn't scary. I really liked the atmosphere, but it just didn't scare me. In all honestly, the scariest part of the game is when Alma is free. This part is scariest because of the sound design in this part. It's full of echoed screams of pain and suffering and nothing else. It feels like Harlan Wade opens the seventh seal and releases the apocalypse.

That takes me on to the story. It's alright. It has some pretty obvious twists and turns but if you give it your time, it's pretty satisfying. But it's pretty much entirely ignorable if you prefer.

All in all, very fun. FEAR is one of those games that I just find myself replaying at least once a year.
