Dead Space vs F.E.A.R.
Dead Space
Dead Space may not supposed to be much of a horror game at first (it was touted as a thriller mainly), but it certainly ended up that way. Featuring a third-person shooter gameplay, the game casts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer in a massive spaceship stranded in space that's falling apart at the seams. That's not all, the ship is filled with hideous Necromorph monsters - alien-infected crew members - that just love to jump out at you at the most unconvenient moments, startling you at every chance it gets from seemingly every vent, collapsed ceiling, cracked floor etc... well, literally the full 360-degrees. The game can be a tad bit linear but that is exactly what enabled the developers to control almost every aspect of the game from start to finish even with you in it, giving you scares that will make you jump in your seat... and sometimes out of it.Dead Space made its name as one of the most thrilling shooter game that guarantees to slowly but surely drag you into its incredibly immerse and terrifying world. If you love a game that has both action and a generous dose of scariness, Dead Space is the game you'll want to play.
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R. lets you join the elite First Encounter Assault Recon team, or F.E.A.R. for short, as they are sent into a hostage situation in a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound with only a single goal - eliminate the intruders and rescue the hostages. They were not the first to be sent on the mission though - the special forces which were sent there were massacred as they were literally torn apart by a mysterious force. The mysterious paramilitary force which took the compound in the first place isn't issuing any demands either.This version of the game also contains two DLCs which continue the story where it ended, giving players a better insight into the whole paranormal phenomena that's going on as well as on Armacham Technology Corporation's (ATC) dark past.
If you enjoy a dark and gloomy-themed, narrative-driven action-shooter, F.E.A.R. got you covered. It's the sort of game that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!
