Fear Effect: Sedna

Many people already spoke extensively about the gameplay flaws of this game, so I won't delve deep into them, except that they are not so gamebreaking as many make them seem. Story and narrative-wise, this game holds true to the originals and nearing the end sincerely made me wish for more. I had almost forgotten how much I enjoy this merry band of mischievous misfits. You should buy, you should play.

Some minor bugs and isues, but still have a lot of fun playing. Pros: cool art style, soundtrack and feel of world. nice plot puzzle sometime little frustating, but still veary good Cons: bad tactical mode

...but the game makes it hard.The three stars might actually be one too many. Assuming you play it in English: The nicely developed characters have no accents at all. Background of the character is Chinese and French? Fluent English without an accent. That kills the vibe somewhat (at least for me). I think often criticized is the combat and I agree. There is no proper feedback when hitting or getting hit. You just see the healthbar drop. The pause mechanic does rarely make sense and I just had a fight against a robot (or power armor to be precise). I got so frustrated! While the machine is much bigger than the avatar, it has the same speed so running away is quite the hassle. It also made no sound when moving which again kills the vibe. It is just floating and the only sound you hear is your gun firing. Then it does it's melee attack and hits you even if you are metres away. So I was moving away while shooting, he hit and I was surprised that his attack connected. Then after taking a certain amount of damage he spawned smaller enemies and they were incredibly fast so here I did need the pause mechanic but it limits the ability to flee from the robot. I stopped yesterday after the robot part because the next part will be several enemies swarming me and I have to manage a whole team while everything is so fast. This game would have been much better (in my opinion) if it was round based like XCOM or Jagged Alliance. Dear developers: I love what you tried to do and this is not meant as a bashing but the game lacks several good mechanics so maybe get more people to test it next time?

I enjoyed this game very much! It can be played how you like: - Overwhelm your enemies with your guns and skills - Go tactical and give orders for particular members of the team - Silently backstab everyone before they notice (my favorite way) The game offers many riddles and minigames to solve which is real fun. Also the story was engaging with its creepy tribal atmosphere and cool pre-rendered cut-scenes. I encountered some problems though. Sometimes character can get stuck for a moment when picking up an item during a fight. Also graphics are not too clear even though I like isometric games. After all game is good in my opinion and I would recommend trying it!

Never played Fear Effect before so this is my first meet with series. Well yes, fights not good, enemies have poor AI. But that's all cons for me. And now pros. First of all the game is pretty stylish, I fell in love from the first gaze. Second - music, listening OST on and on, it's beautiful. Story is pretty interesting and catchy. For me game worth it's money, got a Collector's Edition for OST, and here I must admit a poor artbook. Anyway I'm very exited for Fear Effect Reinvented and further developing of this franchise.
