F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R., développé par Monolith Productions et publié par Sierra Entertainment ainsi que Vivendi Universal Games, est un jeu de tir à la première personne sorti le 17 octobre 2005 sur PC (Microsoft Windows). Le joueur incarne un membre de l'équipe d'élite F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon), envoyée pour éliminer une force paramilitaire ayant infiltré un complexe aérospatial sans faire de demandes, et pour contenir une menace paranormale liée à un signal perturbateur. Le titre utilise le moteur Lithtech Jupiter EX et propose une histoire mêlant horreur psychologique et combat intense, avec une durée de huit heures pour l'histoire principale et douze heures pour une approche complétiste.
L'accueil critique a été favorable, la presse saluant notamment un récit et une réalisation techniques remarquables, tandis que certains joueurs décrivent une expérience immersive et un FPS correct dans ses sensations, tout en regrettant que la promesse d'une révolution de l'intelligence artificielle n'ait pas été pleinement tenue. Le score Metacritic du jeu s'élève à 88 et sa note agrégée à 85,65.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Thankfully, you can slow time, Matrix-style, to get out of the more harrowing battles, while the game's controls are smoother than Moby's head. »
« Both a technical and narrative masterpiece, F.E.A.R combines elements of science-fiction and horror with a beautiful aesthetic presentation and incredible enemy A.I. »
« A must-own, a must-play, a must-have or whatever generic must-“word” or must-“phrase” that you’ll find plastered on a game box. From start to finish, this is a tight experience that will challenge and entertain you unlike any other FPS of 2005. »
« With an 8-9 hour single player campaign and its hefty multiplayer portion, F.E.A.R. is an absolute must have for any First Person Shooter fan out there that takes pleasure in having the holy hell scared out of them, all while playing an intriguing game with an impressive storyline. »
« F.E.A.R. is just polished, period. If you have the system to handle the game, it is a must have for all gamers. »
« One of those titles that comes along only once every few years, a game that just seems to get everything right- the game’s overall experience exceeds the sum of its considerably impressive parts. This reviewer cannot remember the last time that he was so immersed in a FPS’s single-player game. »
« Terribly immersive... If you've got a system good enough to run this, do not miss out: F.E.A.R. is one of the most strikingly fun and exciting games to be released all year, and easily the best FPS since "Half-Life 2." »
« A true thriller in that it makes use of corner-of-the-eye imagery, unsettling voices, and effects to send chills down your spine which leads to a healthy dose of dread. »

« Great game. Fantastic little experience with some genuinely immersive setups. »
« Just came here after playing Leon campaign in RE9, i just miss the era where games were so **** good. »
« 9.3 - F.E.A.R. blends tight gunplay with psychological horror in a way few shooters manage. Its AI remains impressively smart, making firefights tense and dynamic. The slow-motion mechanic adds cinematic flair, while the eerie atmosphere and Alma’s unsettling presence keep you on edge. Though visuals have aged, the sound design and pacing still deliver a gripping, haunting experience. »
« Incredibly repetitive, poor level design, great AI that carries the entire game, and you can tell the devs knew they were making a great AI, because they abused it throughout the entire game, not adding more to it. Tries to be scary, fails. Might be the best shooter i have played, but fails at everything else. Boring office after boring office after boring office, if you’re lucky you might find a boring sewer, or a boring warehouse. I probably spent more time figuring out from which boring office i just came and to which boring office i should go. Slow-mo is great at first, becomes too important, to the point you have to use it almost all the time. The game is supposed to have fast paced action, but being unable to kill a single soldier or these stupid invisible ninjas without slow-mo, it kills it. »
« Me parece un buen juego a pesar de los años, es muy bueno. La historia es interesante y atrapante a través del tiempo. Tiene una jugabilidad algo entre moderna y un poco **** me gustó tanto el hecho de que no haya tantos subtítulos en español. Aunque es más interesante que combine el shooter con el terror, a la estética de su año. Hubo uno que otro susto, pero realmente no da tanto miedo, aunque sí es algo de terror en sus pasillos y **** gusta cómo va el juego introduciéndote a través de los niveles. No hay como tal una zona para reequiparte, solo puedes a través de las armas de los enemigos, pero sí lo recomiendo jugarlo. Es entretenido y atrapante, si no te molesta escuchar tanto los diálogos en inglés como las voces, pero de ahí es buen juego. »
« avarege game at start i find it diffuclt even on neasy mod not the enemies but the objective the level desin is trash i would gave a 6 but at the lvl 10 and 11 there some pure good moments and for this i gave a 7 ps i know is from 2005 but im revesiting nowdays and not pn some nostalgic **** »
« Very good enemies AI. This game is not scary. You have more FPS moments than horror experience. »
« A pretty decent on the rails shooter that lacks variety in combat and environments. I also got annoyed at the last level. The plot doesnt make a ton of sense and comes off as a cheesy haunted house. People say the AI is great but Halo and Half-life have better AI. Possibly the lamest "boss fight" ever. »
