 F.E.A.R.
 Pretty good game, thoroughly enjoyed the simple gunplay, rarely used reflex mode because leaning out of cover felt way more intuitive. Felt fun killing stuff and seeing the rare gib. I'm kind of glad there wasn't ADS when aiming. Shit has ruined many FPS with it's piss poor implementation throughout the years. None of that shitty hit marker noise either. Physics we're pretty cool and funny, especially when you kill someone and their body gets flung through the air sometimes. Level design is very much of it's time, a little samey because of the color palette but I never got lost. Story? For an ActionPsychThriller, basic but got the point across. Messed up experiments, drama, psychic super humans and grabs for power, classic. 
 Interesting concept of clones being controlled by a singular person and shutting down when their commander dies. Like robits but they explode guts.
 And yes I haven't played this in the 18 years it was out until today. I feel I missed out on something that would have been scary growing up.
