A PC review of F.E.A.R. 3 on The Armchair Empire.
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?
It's not that bad. It's pretty impressive considering it's a third party company's first effort at a big multiplatform shooter. It's got solid shooting mechanics, fun environments, weapons, enemies and the AI carries the usual fear pedigree. (Oh wait, does that count? Cause in the second one they were as dumb as spit.)
Regardless, it's not an abysmal game. It's a little dated but there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes I want a game that plays a little dated. In fact I can't think of a single non-military shooter game released in five years that hasn't been called dated in some aspects.
