It’s easy to admire the F.E.A.R series; in a genre heaving under the weight of countless, military-themed heavy hitters and sci-fi space operas, it has managed to carve out a place very much of its own with a combination of refined gunplay, physiological horror and supernatural plot lines. While it might not have reached the lofty heights of the Call of Duty series in terms of sales (but then…who has?), it has consistently delivered engaging experiences that have earned it a place among the cream of the FPS crop. The most disappointing thing in this latest instalment, F.E.A.R. 3 (or, F.3.A.R) is that it’s not very scary, with its attempts to send a shiver down your spine largely falling flat; while this will be disappointing for fans of the series, it performs well enough in other areas to make this failing easily forgivable.
DualShockers Writes "F.E.A.R. 3 (or F.3.A.R. if you’re a marketing executive) isn’t a great singleplayer game. It’s fine, competent even, but Day One Studios had an unenviable task in trying to wrap up Monolith’s F.E.A.R. series. With two timelines and two highly different styles of horror attempted in its wake, F.E.A.R. 3, well, it tries its best."
F.E.A.R. 3 wasn't even really a horror game when it came to the campaign. It was a good action game, but lost just about all of its horror roots along the way.
There have plenty of great horror games, but others haven't been so lucky as to stick around. They deserve to get a new lease on life.
That was probably the first time ever that I saw Castlevania in a list of horror games.
ps: Be warned, you have to click a lot to see every game in the list. I stopped after the 4th time.
What is divergent co-op and how could more games benefit from it?
