OnlySP is not very impressed with the isometric tactical game Fear Effect: Sedna:

Fear Effect: Sedna Falls Shy of High Expectations

Fear Effect: Sedna aims to be the spiritual successor fans have long dreamed of but falls short in its gameplay and world building. The original Fear Effect was released back in 1999 by developer Kronos Digital Entertainment. Due to the high praise from the gaming community, a sequel, Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix, arrived two years later. More than ten years on, the indie development team, Sushee, took up the mantle and announced it was working on a third entry to the series via Kickstarter, meaning that the project will only have a fraction of the budget of the original games, despite being published by Square Enix.

The project will no doubt bring enjoyment to the franchise’s fans but fails to be enticing enough to warrant any new enthusiasts. Hopefully, Sushee will do more to build on the existing world as the passion for the source material is definitely alive and well despite the many production delays.

After originally being scheduled for release this year, Fear Effect: Sedna has been pushed back to early 2018 and will be available for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One. In the wake of the delay, Square Enix has also announced a remake of the original game, titled Fear Effect Reinvented, which is also being developed by Sushee and expected to release in 2018.

Thanks Farflame!
