The game is still amazing but it didn't age well. It's still very unoptimized and it lacks compatibility with modern hardware. Otherwise the game is a masterpiece; aside from technical reasons i'd leave it untouched, the graphics are still stunning and the gameplay feels very modern still. It could help if Nightdive grabbed the IP sometime and patch a few things so we can refresh the experience.

Close enough to a "masterpiece" Ai and replica soldier's denifinitely carried the game. Because of how good and cordinated ai is and how sassy they get (As it a lot of character) along with the sheer amount of animation and voice line's replica soldier's have just make them amazing enemie's.
Like omg the way they communicate is so cool, From what i remember the ai actually LEARN's STUFF, as in the only react to where you are if they actually see you, one time one of the them hiding behind a box they weren't peaking, I threw a grenade right at their area, instead of that one saying something, the only one who was peaking and saw the grenade said "get out of there!" it's the small thing's that make's it so memorable.
Even one time when one unexpectable charged at me alone, which replica's would rarely do and said "die modafukka"

FEAR is one of the greatest games for sure.
Waiting for the proper FEAR 2.

nahhhh... not very close... Very buggy, badly optimized, story is kinda boring.

It has less bugs than new games.
Badly optimized for what? Use available fixes.
I played it on several different computers on different OSes (Windows XP-Windows 10, FreeBSD, Linux) without any major issues.

The story can be boring for new players probably.
What did you expect?
Just kill the enemies and walkthrough.

[JIIINGJING]

Well, maybe NOT need players to use available fixes? Heck, the screen seems jitter the black spot's a lot, that's just me cuz im on window 10 pro, which im quite sure no one use's.
The story is always: getting seperated, Hunt for fettle, jumpscare, repeat.

Seriously acting like the game is bad because the devs are not uptading it to have support in 2025? This has to be some sort of rage bait

[JIIINGJING]

Well, half life have bug fixes in 24 :)

Still the best after 20 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years
only title to ever come close is Trepang2
and Extraction Point (the first expansion for FEAR) is the only one that EXCEEDED the original campaign

[Mr.NewbDoge]

cool game but requires elbow grease to get the game running smoothly. If you're willing to go through that, then I recommend fear and extraction point

[JIIINGJING]

Also i really like paxton voice lines it's so smooth and asmr like but the horror isn't that scary tbh, it's just a bit slow.

Still the best fps gameplay out there in my opinion. The particle effects and graphics hold up really well. And having to apply a fix to make it run properly is expected for an old game like this, so easy to check pcgamingwiki smh

[Crypto Gamer]

It is still a very good game,shadows are still decent.

At too high fps physics can go nust so best to cap it.

I would not mind a 64 bit remaster that works out of the box and looks somewhat better and has better widescreen support.
