This isnt that bad as people say. It did good job at gameplay, but bad at graphics and story. Horror element is better in previous games. It had some parts that scared me a little bit. I remember in the first fear when Alma apeared in garage, it gave me hearth attack. 7 out of 10. Sorry for bad english.

Finished the game. Not nearly as bad as a lot make it out to be. I understand the angle they're coming from, but I thought it was a fun romp if nothing else. Would've preferred more of an expository experience with the suspense turned up to 11, but overall I felt I had a good time with it. I liked that it was on the shorter side, story-wise. I work too much for a lot of these games that take hundreds of hours of your time to get anywhere worthwhile.

Co-op mode. Dynamic and intense battles. Interesting story. Interesting characters. Not bad endings.

Let me make something very clear here at the beginning. I do NOT recommend buying this game by itself. The campaign is maybe 5 hours long, the multiplayer has no real playerbase, and the gameplay is not unique enough from many other military FPS games to warrant paying $20 for. Instead, I'm recommending you pay $50. The original F.E.A.R. is an excellent first person shooter/horror game that I would highly recommend to anyone. However for some god forsaken reason you cannot buy it on steam without also buying the rest of the series, which imo never comes close to being as good. I would strongly suggest not putting up with that garbage and instead buy the original game on GOG where you can get it and the dlc for much cheaper. Now that being said... if you REALLY want the game on steam for some reason and decide to purchase the complete pack, I don't think you should ignore F.E.A.R. 3 as it does have some cool things going for it (in theory at least). The other thing I need to make clear is that this game is only fun in co op. If you can't get a second person or friend to play the game with you then I don't think you should bother with this one. Ok now with all that out of the way, there are some good things about this game believe it or not. Both players actually have very different abilities unique to them, and surprisingly both characters are very fun. Player one gets the standard bullet time power that's in every FEAR game but with the unique distinction of working for both players simultaneously. A lot of games have slo-mo powers but this is the first one I can think of that has it in multiplayer, and it works really well. The fact that only one player can actually activate it means you have to try and coordinate with it which is fitting for a co op game. Player two on the other hand is initially a lot weaker but has several fun abilities he can try out like possessing most other enemies in the game, each with their own perks and weapons. There's also other supportive moves like giving player one a shield or holding enemies in place for the other to shoot. Add to all that a couple other fun mechanics like the signature FEAR karate moves and a surprisingly decent cover system, and you got yourself a co op shooter that's down right enjoyable... maybe 60% of the time. The final caveat I have for this game is that the story isn't very good and the horror sections aren't great either, which is unfortunate because a lot of time is devoted to still try to be scary. Remember this is a co op game: it's literally impossible to be scared when your friend just slide kicked an enemy out the window and you haven't stopped laughing yet. Also remember this game is already not very long so to have almost half of it be filler is pretty bad. If this review has not given you a positive impression of the game, good. I cannot in good faith tell you to go out of your way to buy this game it's just not worth it. However if you and a friend just so happen to already have this game in your steam library for reasons you can't remember, there's like a solid 4 hours of fun to be had here. I actually would like to see some of the ideas here expanded on because the game does feel like it has some potential. The ending being determined by how the two players perform throughout the rest of the game is... well it's terrible, but I could see the idea working in a different kind of game. Unfortunately this game was just not meant to be successful, but equally unfortunate is the fact that I enjoyed my time with it, however short that may have been.

F.E.A.R franchise can be rebooted with concept of anthology, where F.E.A.R team encounters different paranormal mission with different story in each game part, something like supernaturals series where dean and sam solves different paranormal activity in each episode. Coming back to F.E.A.R 3, this game is more focused on combat and very less on scary experience, horror element here is not much, it more focused on combat and variety of combat moves points, I have to end up focusing on getting points from combat moves instead of experiencing horror, this game is good as shooting game but not as fear game, hope this game gets reboot in future.
