The gameplay has received mixed to negative feedback, with many players citing issues such as cumbersome puzzles, poor mechanics, and lackluster combat. While some appreciate the atmosphere and character development, others find the gameplay repetitive and frustrating, with a significant number of players feeling that it fails to capture the essence of previous titles in the series. Overall, the gameplay is often described as serviceable at best, with many elements needing improvement to enhance the overall experience.
“I am really enjoying this game; it looks really well, gameplay is interesting, but I like the atmosphere. You do really care about the characters and listen to each dialogue.”
“The gameplay itself is good; it's got the original Shadowrun style vibe from what was it, Super Nintendo?”
“There are some flaws (the AI is not always working properly + some puzzles might be frustrating), and it might take some time to fully understand the mechanics, but it is totally worth it, trust me!”
“Sadly, I could not get into this one either as there was not one single redeeming quality about the gameplay, which mostly consists of slapdash gunfights and obtuse puzzles.”
“The voice acting is terrible, the writing is bad, and the gameplay is absolutely awful.”
“Actual gameplay is incredibly underwhelming, from the bad cover mechanics to the terrible tactical strategy. Allies have terrible AI, stages feel incredibly similar and boring, and puzzles mostly range from typical to downright irritating.”
Fear Effect Sedna Review
A tedious slog that sullies the legacy of its vaunted predecessors.
30%Fear Effect Sedna Review – Cero Miedo
Fear Effect Sedna is vapid and vain, like a B-movie with a bit of gorgeous cinematography. Its gameplay falters miserably and even with the unmistakable atmosphere of the old games, Sedna just isn't enjoyable to sit through.
50%Fear Effect Sedna Review
Fear Effect Sedna is a flawed sequel that misses its target by changing the franchise’s genre and stretching itself too far beyond its means. By minimalising the survival aspect, even its own namesake has become redundant.
