What is F.E.A.R. 3?

This first-person horror shooter takes place as Alma's psychic realm spills into reality. Alone or with a co-op partner, you fight soldiers and paranormal creatures as Point Man, a soldier who can slow time, or his undead brother Paxton Fettel, who uses psychic powers. The brothers are on a mission to confront their mother.

What players say

71% of 13,685 reviews are positive · 58% of 29 in the last 30 days

Players praise the co-op campaign and gunplay. Many say the campaign is short and shifts too far toward conventional action, losing much of the earlier games' horror atmosphere.
