So I just got done a few hours ago with beating Fear Effect (never completed it back in the day). It really spoke to me how far games have come after playing this gem from 2000. The most notable thing for me was that the save points are in the most RIDICULOUS places and it genuinely feels as though someone with a bag of save-points just tipped it all over the game and was done. Sometimes there are two in a row, sometimes between two save points stand a ridiculously frustrating fight and then a boss fight, meaning death at the boss puts you back a considerable;e distance. It's all a bit mad. It made me realize just how efficient check-pointing/auto-saves have become in modern games.
 
With that said, Fear Effect is just a really great game. Having come out eleven years ago, the voice acting and graphics are super
