FEARnet: The F.E.A.R. series has always been a strange one, with developer Monolith mixing military-style tactical shooting with J-horror jump scares in a combo that works together like peanut butter and jelly. Unfortunately, Monolith is off making Gotham City Impostors, so the development duties for the three-quel F.E.A.R. 3 have been handed off to Day 1 Studios, developers of…not a helluva lot. Despite being a fairly inexperienced developer, Day 1 managed to get horror vets like Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and John Carpenter (if you don't know what's he's done, get the hell out of here) putting pen to page for the game's fable of a fractured family.
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?
