here to offer my opinion unsolicited:
FEAR 1 rules, great and tense game, somehow manages to be spooky and cool despite having the most tedious environments known to man
FEAR 2 sucks, pacing so predictable you could set a watch to it, after every fight Alma shows up to do something ~sPoOpY~, really aggravating
FEAR 3 is widely reviled, but I like it, fuck it, if you’re gonna follow up on a game that doesn’t need a sequel, may as well make it big dumb arcade shooter
