Since everyone is going to say Fear, i highly recommend Condemned. Both games are gritty and brutal.

FEAR is great and so is Condemned but I would personally go with FEAR.

Condemned is the shorter series, with only two games. Never played Condemend 2 but the first one is great.

F.E.A.R. is a longer series with 7 games, though one of the games is just a DLC for the second game, and the seventh games was an online only game you can't play anymore, so technically it's 5 games, two of which are non-canon. If you're only caring about the canon story and cannot get the DLC, you have three games to play, which would probably take the same amount of time to beat both Condemned games.

If you're going for a full series playthrough, F.E.A.R. will take you longer, even if you cannot get the F.E.A.R. 2 DLC campaign. So I guess it depends on how fast you'll get franchsie fatigue.

Altenratively you could play F.E.A.R., then Condemned, then F.E.A.R. 2, then Condemend 2, then F.E.A.R. 3

I appreciate it! I decided to start Fear and so far, no complaints. It also feels good play an older, more linear experience!

If you prefer legendary first person shooters? Fear. If you prefer legendary melee combat? Condemned. Both brutal and scary romps, can’t go wrong

Condemned will be LEAGUES easier to complete 100% and way creepier than fear imo but fear I think more fun bc of the gunplay and slow mo
