I understand why this is a landmark game and all, I really do. The story is good, too, especially for a video game. But the reason I don't like this game so much is because I really do not like turn-based combat. There are exceptions to turn-based combat, like Pokemon, but I don't think I can ever give a game with these mechanics a 5/5.

Honestly, this is one of the worst games Bethesda has ever released and no one will say anything about it. It has game and immersion breaking moments all of the time, the "Bethesda Treatment," and while that's an issue in other games, it isn't in this game because "it is so big." It really isn't that big, even for the time it came out, and it is an unfinished game. Even in later rereleases, it is an unfinished game. I also find the characters in this game less memorable and less fun then in other games. I also don't like how the combat system is the same as it was in Oblivion. It was fine when that game came out, but to not make any improvements at all? It wasn't like the gameplay in Oblivion was groundbreaking at all. I genuinely do not see what is so amazing about this game.

I don't think it accomplished much of what the first game did right, but it is better than the previous game. I liked the things they brought back from the first game, and I liked how there is a cool multiplayer aspect to it. However, my biggest complaint and criticism of this game is how much they strayed from what made the first game so good. I feel like I'm playing a slightly more spooky Call of Duty most of the time, and that isn't what I'm playing the F.E.A.R. series for. The gameplay is good, but it feels soulless and uninspired, which becomes a detriment to me and how I look back on it.
