The F.E.A.R. series seems to have slipped away into obscurity as of late, but for a time its blend of high octane gunplay and supernatural horror was a hit with gamers. Although that's not to say that the horror elements sat well with everyone, and F.E.A.R. 2's infamous final scene has been the subject of much scrutiny over the years.

Upon reaching the final chapter 'Climax', protagonist Michael Beckett finds himself locked inside a machine known as a psychic amplifier with antagonist Alma. The plan being that Beckett will use his own amplified psychic abilities to finally defeat her.

This doesn't go to plan, however, and Beckett begins to suffer a series of vivid and graphic hallucinations. Most worryingly of all, is the recurrent image of Alma forcibly having sex with him, only this vision seems to be actually be happening.

Upon snapping out of his delirium and escaping the machine, Beckett discovers the world around him is on fire and that Alma is in fact pregnant. Beckett approaches her and places his hand on her stomach. We then hear the voice of a child saying the word "Mommy" before the game cuts to black, leaving us to contemplate what just happened.
