Fun little puzzle game that doesn't quite know in what direction it wants to expand its core concept. The DLC is much stronger in that regard, but still a little bit too repetitious. Also recommend mouse controls over playing on console.

While the game is badly paced and poorly written in a lot of places, the ending is so strong and earned that I have a hard time not recommending it to fans of the series just to experience the emotional wrecking ball of the last hour.

An interesting conversion mod that needs a lot of refinement and probably a new engine to truly shine. The dark atmosphere, claustrophobic level design as well as intelligent enemy placement is held back by a poor inventory system, padding through needless backtracking and an unengaging combat system.

Still, Cry of Fear offers very well thought out set pieces and nightmare sequences. If only the story wasn't hampered by edgy schlock written and a female character that basically exists for shock value.

Wish the game was built around more of the badge system instead of the random wonder gimmicks, most of which amount to nothing more than an overly simplified set piece.
