the original F.E.A.R. was really good and not too long. don't even bother with any of the sequels though they took the story in a gross and awful direction and the gameplay wasn't as good either, even though the graphics were shinier

FEAR isn't really a horror game, it's an action game that's really good at giving you cool feeling guns and convincing you of your physical body in space. Like there's cool kicks and stuff and the controls are amazing.

The horror is mostly just theming, like they break up the bad guy shooting with a spooky part. It works pretty well even if it isn't much more than just some jump scares.

But yea you should play SOMA if you want a horror game it's so good.
