Is F.E.A.R. - First Encounter Assault Recon still worth playing in 2026?

A shooter from Monolith, F.E.A.R. marries snappy gunplay with tactical slow motion and elite AI, in a horror investigation haunted by the spectral girl Alma. The visceral firefights under bullet time, the AI of soldiers that deploy and flank, and the tense horror atmosphere make it a landmark FPS of its time. The repetitive grey office settings weigh a little. An excellent shooter for fans of snappy FPS, remarkable AI and atmospheric horror.
