Monolith's games are always richly multi-layered and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is no exception. Different game types- intense action, puzzle solving, horror elements- are seamlessly blended together and enhanced by intelligent level design, brilliant music & sound effects, smart AI and the controversial story. Every aspect is worth a separate praise, but F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is more than the sum of its parts- it's very creative & inspired Art.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is the sequel to F.E.A.R.: First Encounter Assault Recon (2005). It starts shortly before the first ended- half an hour before the explosion of Auburn. But this time the protagonist isn't Point Man- you're playing as Michael Becket, member of a different military unit. But don't relax- Alma is back. And she's meaner and more powerful than ever before...

Alma is the very centre of F.E.A.R. universe. It wasn't so obviously exposed in the beginning of the story- she was appearing in visions as 8 years old girl with long black hair. It was never clear if she's real or a hallucination, though she was leaving bloody footprints or flash-appearing on CCTVs. It was so until the end of the first F.E.A.R. when Alma appeared as a naked young woman and escaped to Auburn's surface.
