Dumber AI, flatter lighting, and subpar horror makes FEAR 2 a worse product than it's predecessor in a lot of ways. However the action packed ending, detailed environments, and decent weaponry means this isn't totally worth throwing away.

I like this game more than the first. Yeah yeah, I know, its an unpopular opinion to have, but I feel that the gunplay, graphics, sound design, level design, variety of locations, etc is better in everyway over the original. This game does drag a bit near the end, however its pretty short and really fun for most of its runtime. Highly recommend this underrated classic.
Alright and down goes fear 2!! nowhere near as good as 1 but I still liked it a LITTLE more then I did when I first played this game way back then. Very generic FPS but I honestly really like the world and lore of Fear that I felt like that alone is what kept me going in the end. I still recommend giving it a go as some may enjoy it more then I did just do not expect the masterclass field that FEAR 1 brought.
Decent shooter but completely mediocre when measured against his predecessor. It has some good moments but still feels like a hollow and watered-down Fear.
The story is poor and if you are paying attention filled with plot holes while simultaneously ruining/ignoring plot points and characters that made the original game unique.

El gunplay no se siente mal a pesar de que las armas se sienten un poco debiles, wonky y que andar se sienta super extraño porque hay mucha tracción en los pies del protagonista
Obviamente es divertido el Slow mo y las cooking grenades
La historia no le preste atención y no sé qué pienso del final, las partes de miedo no dan miedo

This game was better than the first one but still didn't quite hit the mark for me. The game play has been improved, with small tweaks here and there to make the overall experience better. Shields for example actually shield all incoming damage rather than only chipping at it in addition to your health. You are limited to 3 health pack instead of 10 but with the improved shield that's no big deal. I rarely died so it didn't really matter.
Jump scares are still garbage though. There was not a single moment in this game that I was actually scared by anything. It's hard to be scared in a world where you're a psychic super soldier with a small arsenal in your back pocket. It was all a little forced and way too predictable.
The story was a little more present than the first. I won't go into detail but there was more going on than "kill the bad guy and watch out for spooky lady". Although I'm still unclear on what Alma is exactly? Is she a ghost? Can she just teleport just outside your field of vision but only when spookily convenient? Not sure.
Overall it was just okay. Good enough for me to zone out and shoot some dudes for a while. Here's hoping the third game is worth it
