Some of the enemies are annoying (specifically turrets and mechs) and veer more towards being a nuisance than being difficult, and the lab aesthetic gets a bit old after a while. That aside, FEAR is fantastic. The gunplay feels great, bullet time adds a fun dynamic to combat, the ambiance and atmosphere are incredible, the horror is mostly subtle though there are some minor jump scares. The story isn't anything spectacularly but I found interesting enough to be engaged with it, and the environmental storytelling through phone calls was pretty neat. Overall great game that aged like wine, highly recommend it.
