If you’re like me, you preordered F.E.A.R. 3 sometime around January and had to wait, only for it to be pushed back month after month. Needless to say, when June 23rd came around, I was more than eager.
F.E.A.R. 3 is a first-person shooter and the third installment of the paranormal series that follows the spectral girl/woman Alma. After the, um, shocking and graphic ending to F.E.A.R. 2, Alma is expecting. What else can bring a murderous family together like a bouncing bundle of hate? Point Man, the protagonist from the original F.E.A.R., is back. This time he has an uneasy alliance with his psychotic and spectral brother Paxton Fettel. When boiled down, this game is about two brothers who hate each other attempting to work together, settle some family drama, and reach their mother in time to meet their new sibling. In this sense, it sounds like a heartwarming TV movie. Add guns, wraiths, cannibalism, and an abusive father figure and you got yourself a game.
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?
