Before we get started, yes, someone thought replacing the letter "E" with the number "3" was actually a good idea, instead of F3AR; this game will be referred to at FEAR 3 henceforth. FEAR 3 picks up several months after the conclusion of FEAR 2 where (Be the warned, spoilers lay ahead) the main antagonist, a psychic ghost woman named Alma, rapes the protagonist and becomes pregnant. You reprise the role of Point Man, the main character from the first FEAR game, who has since been imprisoned by Armacham Security. At the games genesis Point Man is rescued by what is, essentially, the psychic ghost of his brother, Paxton Fettel, who also happens to the antagonist of the first FEAR game. After this turn of events the race is on to reach their mother, Alma, before she can give birth to her child.
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?
