RIP Monolith. Absolutely an amazing game for anyone that enjoys high action with a horror atmosphere. No other games really do what this does besides maybe Trepang2.

This game requires 2 patches to work on newer computers. Fear Small Font Fix and DirectInput FPS Fix. Once you install these the game will run perfectly. I wish they would port this series 1:1 onto a new engine it's so damn good.

You are in a room full of dudes. The goal of the game is to be the only dude left in the room. The problem is that all the other dudes are working together, and really don't like you. Also, there is a little girl who sometimes says hello very loudly. With this simple design formula, Monolith made the peak of FPS games, and nothing has come close since.

For 19! years old game F.E.A.R. aged extremely well, especially gameplay. Still, kinda sad how games that doesn't need remasters/remakes (looking at you horizon zero dawn) get them and this modern classic completely forgotten by Monolith & WB.

Game is fun thus far, but has some sort of FPS bug. If your going to get the game, follow this guide, otherwise your likely not going to be able to get above 40FPS https://steamcommunity.com/app/21090/discussions/0/343785380897389173/
