Cry of Fear is a weird single player or co-op horror FPS built on the Half Life 2 engine. The following review is based on the coop experience.

Pros

  • FPS gameplay felt good.
  • Graphics are dated but in a nostalgic kind of way that feels authentic.
  • We were laughing more often than not at the spooky parts but the laughter felt a little irrational (maybe we were actually very scared and contemplating the futility of existence).
  • Overall the game felt fair although the difficulty spiked a couple times throughout our playthrough.

Cons

  • Built on the Half Life 1 engine, it is filled with jank such as: AI getting stuck on stairs and on death you lose your quick switch item keybinds.
I’d recommend checking out Cry of Fear with a friend in co-op if you like weird horror games, a decent challenge and are able to look past all the jank.
