Games/F E A R First Encounter Assault Recon/Reviews
From Giant Bomb Video Game Wiki
F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon
F.E.A.R. is a first-person shooter borrowing elements from Japanese horror. It employs bullet time abilities and large quantities of blood to create a gory action experience.
Bookending a bygone era
（Played on Steam Deck. About 8 hours to see credits roll on Easy. Again, the game was obviously designed for mouse and keyboard while yours truly was the stubborn ass trying to play with a controller… Read more
F.E.A.R.
The combat is still really great. All the weapons feel and sound very impactful, chunks get blown out of walls from gunfire, there's a slowmo ability and a jump kick ability. The enemy combatants are… Read more
F.E.A.R. Review
Note: I didn't play multiplayer because it was disabled. F.E.A.R. is a first-person action horror shooter set in what I guess is the near future. You play as point man, an above average , slightly sup… Read more
One of the worst shooters
The shock I experienced was not so much with the poor quality of the game itself, but with the positive reviews and defense that this game received. To this day I am trying to understand and cannot. I… Read more
Ghosts Instead of Doves
As if they didn't already make it clear with the name, F.E.A.R. obviously sets out to be a horror game, what with the ghosts, corpses lying around everywhere, and hallways with pools of blood for ceil… Read more
Surprises Abound in This Solid Horror FPS

The Ring: The Video Game
What is it about evil little children that sends chills up your spine and makes you fear the playground near your house at night? Perhaps it is the bastardization of something normally so (outwardly)… Read more
A Great Multiplayer Experience
Thank the heavens that Max Payne paved a way for slow-motion in gaming, or else, we might not have a game like F.E.A.R.. F.E.A.R. stands out from shooters today for it's ability to slow down time with… Read more
Easily the most disappointing game I've played
The long of it: Long reviews are for good games. The short of it: F.E.A.R. promised to be a fast-paced, visually stunning FPS with creepy gameplay and advanced AI. The AI IS impressive. But putting go… Read more
Though its creepiness is lacking, F.E.A.R. is still superb
F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon —which is one of the worst meanings Monolith could've come up with for that acronym—is a shooter that, inspired by Japanese movies like The Ring, incorporates h… Read more
The way shooters are supposed to be made...intense, fast, violent

Mind-blowing A.I., and an absolutely chilling atmosphere.

Top notch AI and addictive Multiplayer!

The way killing well-armed clones should be.
FEAR is a rare example of heavyhandedness improving a game. Half-Life 2 is frequently ostracized for being a showboat of the Source engine as is Crysis for the CryEngine. FEAR is easily as blunt in sh… Read more
I Shat Bricks
I shat bricks when things crashed through windows and startled me, old-school Resident Evil style. I shat bricks when I fought a massive group of techno-ninjas in a dark office. I shat bricks when I w… Read more
Facing your FEARs
Fear is a great game and is unlike many other FPS games in many ways. Monolith have gone out of their way to raise areas of this genre above and beyond anything that anyone has acheived before. Gamepl… Read more
An enjoyable and visceral shooting experience
FEAR has to be one of the hardest games to review for several reasons. For one, it's almost impossible to describe the pure adrenaline rush of some of the game's most intense firefights, but also beca… Read more
F.E.A.R. is Meant to be Played in the Dark

F.E.A.R truly instills fear
When I bought this game I was sure that I would be able to play this on all high graphics. Well it did.....kind of. When I went to check the FPS I averaged 32 FPS. This was not good for me and I could… Read more
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R. is the second franchise-creating first-person shooter developed by Monolith that took me longer to complete than it should have due to technical issues. Just like it was years before I finish… Read more
