Walking around the broken down town, you find yourself in the midst of hell on Earth. Buildings crumbled to the ground, cars tipped, random bon-fires on every other street corner. Worse yet, you don't see anyone-well anyone accept this guy trying to hail a cab. Being left with no real choice, you approach the man hoping to get some answers about what could have happened to this once prosperous city. As you get closer, you notice something not quite right about him, but before you can figure out what it is that has given you the creeps, a disgusting tentacle shoots out and animates a dead body that you surprisingly hadn't really noticed, until now.
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.
First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays and it’s a struggle to really find one that stands out and separates itself from the genre. This can be a double-edged sword, as a FPS that brings something new to the table can often unintentionally have that new thing staying at the table forever. But what if that game managed to capture a concept so well that not even its successors could manage to tap into its perfect blend of creative design? Let’s say they decided to mix genres: ones that had been mixed before, but managed to do something that hadn’t been done before. Could it be possible that a studio managed to make a sort of lightning in a bottle for FPS’s, something so good that there may not be anything quite like it for over a decade after it came out? Well, that DID happen, and that game’s name was F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon.
its been almost exactly 4 years since F.3.A.R. its a great series that needs a comeback.
The first one still holds up well to this day. Hope to see another one on current gen ;)
