What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
April 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 82 in the 14 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 29 percent on value. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 70 percent. Among the games that feel like it, F.E.A.R. ($9.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats F.E.A.R. 3 ($19.99, scores 22).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to August 2026.

What players say
Not as good as F.E.A.R 1, but still a playable game. The only thing I can say about this game is its the type of game you will see a gamer is playing on a movie. It reminds me of that so much because its so 2000s. Overall a game that's still worth to play in my opinion despite the game being not that comparable to its predecessor.
This is the last good game that was ever made. Back when the industry was still moving forward, I replay this game every year, just to remind myself what the future of gaming could have been,.. if we didn't all collectively suck.. The DLC is boooring... but you should definitly get the base game for a few bucks when it's on sale. It runs on potatoes and the graphics can compete with almost anything that came out...
It's an awesome game very well made but if you are running it on a PC with multiple monitors you will have do is to go into the configuration file using a text editor such as notepad for example to change the default video monitor from the for example the secondary monitor to the mina one for your system on mine i had to change it to the config file it's located in the documents folder on you main C: drive in your...

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin scores 56/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/16450/f-e-a-r-2-project-originThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
