If you haven't already noticed cry of fear is a psychological horror FPS based off of the Half-life 1 engine. It has quite impressive visuals for a game running on the Gold Source engine. Its single player has a rich immersive storyline, nothing to new, but it will still draw you in none the less. Its voice acting is pretty decent and the ambiance creates a good setting. Beyond the Dodging and stamina features cry of fear plays like your average shooter; point your gun at enemy, shoot said enemy until dead, repeat on most enemies. The recoil on most guns seem realistic for a young man in the city however certain weapons are much more stable to fire from the hip which kind of makes me question who in Team Psykskallar thought a shotgun would recoil less than your standard handgun? The difficulties offers nothing more than an increase in enemy damage and enemy health respective to the difficulty chosen, meaning that after one play through, the game offers little change to the higher difficulties. The jump scares, whilst scary the first few times, lose their horror factor as you become more conditioned however there are enough jump scares in the game to keep your pants brown. The additional custom campaigns allow you to extend your solo experience however only some are worth a try.

When it comes to the multiplayer Team Psykskallar have yet to fix it, and most likely aren’t. Seems that the use of Hamachi or Point forwarding is the only way you and your friends can Work and survive together. The co-op is fantastic, it’s always fun to leave your friend to fight the enemies as you laugh at their cries for help. Also the Suicide maps provide a fun but short lived extension to the multiplayer modes as they allow you to survive against waves of enemies until the timer runs out. The Initial and Manhunt co-op campaigns are both entertaining but beyond them there are virtually no additional maps either by Team Psykskallar or the community itself.

Overall 7/10. Good horror fps, great for mucking about with a few mates.
