“Gameplay and Enviroment Was Good but Storywise it didnt hit me”
“I remember this game being severely panned at the time, but I beat it on PS3 and PC and enjoyed both playthrus. Yeah, it's not as scary as the other games, but its still good fun and real spooky”
“As with the second game I always hear and read mixed things from people about this game being better or being worse than the original, for this 3rd game mostly negative and again that's highly subjective. To contribute…”

“Does not live up to F.E.A.R. but in co-op it´s ok.. (if the servers were not run on hamster wheels)”
“It's so bad but made hilarious if you play the whole way coop. They really did butcher the entire storyline tho.. I mean especially what they did to [spoiler] Becket [/spoiler ]”

“This is one of the worst fps games i have ever played this game looks and feels like the ♥♥♥♥ jimmy plays on his tv in gta5”
“A passable co-op experience, but not very fun as a single player game. Not scary and very repetitive. Sadly the final nail in the FEAR franchise coffin.”
“Atmosphere and storytelling were weaker than previous games. 7/10”

“As a co-op game, it's ok for playing with friends if you have no other options. If you are planning to play it singleplayer or for the story, forget it.”
“Just how did it get so dull? F.E.A.R. 3 completely misses the point of what made the franchise great to begin with, a far cry from it's predecessors. It's difficult to have an enjoyable time playing this. I was…”
“It's a clone of MW2 with some spooky stuff thrown in. Really generic and outdated by today's standards. I have no nostalgia for this game I just played it recently for the first time and it just has nothing to offer.…”

“Coop doesn't work. Fixes dont help.”
“This is the worst game in the whole series by a long shot. This is a FEAR game right? So why am I clearing a favela like it's MW2? The FOV is bad by default and requires config file to change, the controls feel weird…”
“Co-op does not work, just crashes the game after 2-3 minutes”

— a player, Steam review · 37 hrs played“It is amazing how they ruined the series so much. Everything that made the original game incredible, and the second game arguably good, is gone in this third instalment. No atmosphere, the story starts off weird and makes no sense, the game is made for coop and has turned into a…”
