Is it still worth playing?

Monolith Productions' 2005 first person shooter and psychological horror game, first for Windows in October 2005. In the city of Fairport in 2025, you play Point Man, the newest recruit of the F.E.A.R. unit, against a psychic and the paranormal menace of a young girl, Alma Wade. The arsenal runs from dual wielded handguns and a nail gun to a particle beam, and each weapon differs in accuracy, range, rate of fire, damage and weight. You can carry only three firearms at a time, and the heavier, more powerful weapons slow your movement and reaction speed. You also carry frag grenades, proximity grenades and remote bombs, five of each, though only one type can be equipped at a time. Movement is fastest with your weapon holstered, which lets you fight hand to hand. You still choose a loadout rather than just a gun, since the heavier weapons trade weight for power.
