F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon is a 2005 first-person shooter psychological horror video game for Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Developed by Monolith Productions and published by Vivendi Universal Games, the Windows version was released worldwide in October 2005. The Xbox and PlayStation versions were ported by Day 1 Studios and released in October 2006 and April 2007, respectively. Two standalone expansion packs were released for the Windows and Xbox 360 versions of the game, both developed by TimeGate Studios; F.E.A.R. Extraction Point (2006) and F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate (2007). Released on Windows in March 2007, F.E.A.R. Gold Edition includes all the content from the Director's Edition plus Extraction Point, while F.E.A.R. Platinum Collection, released for Windows in November 2007, includes the Director's Edition, Extraction Point, and Perseus Mandate. Neither expansion is now considered canon, as the Monolith-developed F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin ignores the events of both.
Runs well on modern hardware.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my VR mod gameplay here: https://youtu.be/0Vs7Ruw_iZ0 Yes, you can now play F.E.A.R in VR using the VR Mod made by a vibe coder! Yes, you're playing the game in full VR with 6 DOF motion controllers. Yes, you can even two-hand weapons. Yes, you can even melee. Yes, you can even lean in and out of cover if you want (but you don't need to). There's never been a better time to play FEAR, especially with the HD texture pack. You'll need to search for the VR mod, but it's completely FREE. Read instructions carefully as this mod does take a bit of reading before you can correctly install it (currently). Maybe you can get AI to do that for you though. [quote]I bought this game!

very good for a game made in 2005, I was a little confused by the story and some parts in the middle got stale with just moving and shooting countless soldiers but overall a short and sweet game todays triple AAA companies should go back to these types of games and see what made them special and fun instead of how many microtransactions and empty hours of content they can put in their games
I love this game. It's one of my favorite games. Sadly it has become abandon-ware. You have to jump through hoops to get it to stop crashing or to stop dropping FPS. Also screw you Warner Bros for jacking up the price of the game.
