    I was a big fan of fear effect on the ps1 but this version is a mis-step imho. The change from third person to isometric makes no sense and the mechanic involved in pausing the game to send issue characters commands (like in xcom) is completely redundant. The game is quite unbalanced as well, I breezed through the game before getting stuck on the first boss.

    il gioco non è malaccio, ottimi intermezzi animati, la giusta dose di esplorazione ed un medio livello di complessità con puzzle game

    Fear Effect Sedna marks the return of a well-regarded series from the early days of the 21st century. Featuring enjoyable animation cut scenes and a quality soundtrack, this Nintendo Switch version ends up losing to its counterparts when played in handheld mode, as many of the details become too small to be visible on the screen. Also the game's plot does not attempt to make a bridge to new players, who won't feel a connection with the game's story and its strategic component is less interesting than expected.

    Fear Effect Sedna by far is the worst game that we put our hands on this year. It is not possible to highlight a positive point, either in the technical aspects like graphics, sound, gameplay, or artistic aspects such as style or history. Of course, the effect of this game on the players is ghastly.

    It is a sloppy mess that gets off on the wrong foot, only to shoot itself in the foot right after. It is a weird hodgepodge of body horror, cyberpunk sleaze, and secret agent shenanigans that, in theory, should work, but don't.
