VGW's Jen Bosier: *Please note as part of Summer of Co-op, this review was written entirely from a co-op perspective.
If you’re looking for a horror co-op shooter that will provide some nice chills, but won’t keep you up at night, this is your baby. It is regrettably short, but there is some genuine fun to be had, and the overall product has a nice polish to it. It suffers a bit towards the end, but the first sections more than make up for it. The utterly squeamish probably need not apply.
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?
