Aeria Games has just released F.E.A.R. Online, the free-to-play horror shooter, on the Steam platform. Fans of the celebrated franchise will be able to engage in new, terrifying experiences within the F.E.A.R. universe.
Players can team up with their friends for the game’s Cooperative Story Mode, or take on rival players and deadly monsters on ominous maps in the game’s fast-paced multiplayer mode.
With a unique crafting system that allows for making one-of-a-kind weapons, F.E.A.R. Online aims to deliver a thrilling and chilling FPS experience.
Obviously, that’s not what F.E.A.R. fans have been waiting for but then again, this is a F2P game so it should – normally – still be better than nothing, right?
The first F.E.A.R. game packed some of the best firefights we’ve ever experienced in a first-person shooter, so here is hoping that a proper triple-A game based on that franchise – or a spiritual successor to the first FEAR game – will be made… someday…

“This item is currently unavailable in your region” on steam.
Most are. You wouldn’t ask this if you actually played F2P games.
So go play some.
The biggest issue is the “time to grind” versus the “pay to get” now system.
I have money, so buying the gear that would take 10 or 20 hours is easy for me, but in the games I like that pay you fairly, I will play to get what I need versus buying it.
I have a boat load of games that aren’t F2P yet most of my hours have been in a few F2P games because they actually are really good at the grind payout.
My only issue with any F2P game is, if they do rentals and not permanent, I avoid like the plague.
