    Fear Effect Sedna brings back from the past the core elements of the series, with a nice story that manages to drag the player into it.

    Can't understand reviews from several medias here, even if just few very low scores make the general score fall down.

    The game is far from perfect, but the gameplay is very interesting, once you understand you don't need to use the tactical pause, except for few bosses. The story is GREAT and cutscenes really nice. The visual aspect is one of the strong point.
    Not to mention the little price, that makes a must-have so far for this year.    … Full Review »

    I used to play the first 2 parts of the Fear Effect Series and have very fond memories of it. I backed the Kickstarter and even though II used to play the first 2 parts of the Fear Effect Series and have very fond memories of it. I backed the Kickstarter and even though I wanted to like this, I found the setting disappointing. The originals were Resident Evil style survival games, this one is a mix of isometric strategy and puzzle elements. None of those are done in a way that I would keep me playing, it's just not fun.

    Combat is a bit messy (but wasn't that also the charm of the original games?) and there is some occasionally lackluster voice-acting, but theCombat is a bit messy (but wasn't that also the charm of the original games?) and there is some occasionally lackluster voice-acting, but the general atmosphere, puzzles, music, characters, cutscenes are great! It carries the original vibe from the original PSX Fear Effect games and that's what's most important for me. Don't let the bad critic reviews keep you from buying the game, especially if you're a fan of the old games. In an age where we are spoiled by AAA games with budgets bigger than some Hollywood movies, keep in mind that the budget of this game is waaaay less than the budget for the original PSX games and they still managed to create a cool sequel representative of the qualities of the PSX Fear Effect games. Support the developer, so that we can see more great games in the Fear Effect universe!… Full Review »
