    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 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.I used to play the first 2 parts of the Fear Effect Series and have very fond memories of it.

The best about this game are the cut scenes which are very much in the spirit of the old games, but the game itself spoils the experience. Dear Sushee, thanks for trying to bring a new game in the Fear Effect series and I don't regret backing that project, but an action adventure would have been more fitting.… Expand

    I had high expectations for this game based on the buzz.... Unfortunately, the game does not live up to its previous fame. The stealth mechanics is broken, the plan move mechanics is useless because you'll have to guess where the enemies will be in time that you can't really judge. The characters in view are so small, you can barely see them, the special abilities don't work because byI had high expectations for this game based on the buzz....

The characters in view are so small, you can barely see them, the special abilities don't work because by the time you get to use them you're dead, you can't even see what you're aiming at. Good cut scenes however. I can not recommend this game.… Expand

    The game sucks! There is no strategy or tactical about this game. All the gameplay is broken, you just press the button of shooting, heal & shoot again... You may try to sneak, but gets pretty repetitive and boring. The dialogues are lame and the story gets pretty boring. The art is gorgeous and the best thing of the game. Save your money! There are plenty other games you could spend it.

    It was probably developed with the best intentions in mind, but Fear Effect Sedna remains crippled by technical defects and gameplay problems, which always draw us out of the game experience.

    Perhaps this return is 17 years too late. [May 2018, p.80]
