What players say
This game actually is good ngl. I was shocked at how well it performed on my potato pc and the gameplay wise was actually alright. The combat this game offered was alright actually and its an improvement actually from fear 1 and 2. The coop didnt matter to me and i dont see why people shouldnt buy the game like just play it bro

Loved all the other FEAR games, and this one. Think this was one of my first fear games on PC. and it scared me so bad lol. Nowadays i dont get scared lol
Warner Brothers made the same mistake Capcom did with RE6. This game isn't scary, its not even creepy. It's just straight up an action game! If you get a buddy then maybe you can enjoy this game but it so grueling and tedious to play. The enemies are not as intelligent like in previous titles. The harder difficulties are a cake walk. And there's multiplayer achievements but I'm pretty sure the servers are offline...
