It makes sense to bring it to Switch since they remake is coming to Switch. This is the first confirmation of it coming to Switch, right? Should probably add that to the title.

This is a strategy game, right?

Thought the Switch announcement was ages ago.

I might give it a shot. I never got into the Playstation games back in the day, but an action game would be fun to mess around with.

Does the word “SEDNA” have any relevance to the previous games?

I really liked the original games on PlayStation. I was always a bit surprised when after fear effect 2 the series just disappeared. I felt like the IP and the universe had a lot more steam in them. This wasn’t really what I was looking for in new entry but I will buy it regardless. Hopefully there is a lot of story like the originals with good gameplay.

As much as i love the originals this is a pass for me. Might pick up the remake depending on how it turns out though.

Ouch, I had hoped that this would be somewhat decent but reviews are worse than I thought:

Metacritic: 49

Metro UK: 3/10
If you are an old school Fear Effect fan it’ll be obvious the developers are too, but despite the changes this is no better than either of the PlayStation originals.

PSU: 5.5/10
Fear Effect Sedna is a stylish but ultimately mediocre tactical take on a franchise that arguably deserved better.

Wccftech: 6.5/10
Fear Effect Sedna is proof creativity can’t always overcome poor execution. The game is often quite enjoyable, but the inspired moments can be difficult to appreciate amidst Sedna’s mishandled nostalgia, ill-considered mechanics, and sometimes-wonky level design. Those willing to ride out the rough patches (or just hungry from some early-2000s cheese) may want to give the game a try, but I’m afraid I don’t see this being the Fear Effect franchise’s big comeback.

Push Square: 3/10
Fear Effect Sedna represented an opportunity to bring a well-remembered series – albeit not always for the right reasons – back to life. As is the case with many games arriving via Kickstarter, though, the ambition of the project fails to translate into the final product. While in theory it ticks all the boxes you’d expect for a story-driven real-time strategy game, the woeful voice acting, rubbish combat encounters, and a cavalcade of other frustrations make this more of a real-time tragedy.

shows that the developer truly knows its source material inside out, but unfortunately the gameplay aspect remains lost. With poor voice-acting, a broken, almost unnecessary tactical system, unreliable A.I., and flat action, Sedna just isn't fun or compelling. Three games down and the wait for a truly fantastic entry continues, with the concern that the series may not be up to such a task being the most irrepressible fear of all.

The Digital Fix: 5/10
A game full of more than it's fair share of style unfortunately lacks any of it's fair share of substance. It may be worth a look if you are a long time fan of the series but there are much better examples of this style of game for everyone else.

Nintendo Life: 6/10
Fear Effect: Sedna is a flawed amalgam of disparate parts. It fails to wholly convince as an action, strategy or stealth game, and the delivery of its story is a little stilted. However, the sheer variety of its mix and its fresh visual style may prove enough to keep you playing through.

God is a Geek: 3/10
A tedious slog that sullies the legacy of its vaunted predecessors.

Cubed3: 5/10
As mentioned earlier, a name carries expectations. Strictly in terms of game design, Fear Effect Sedna is quite possibly the strongest the series has ever been. However, it doesn't go far enough to make up for its deficiencies in atmosphere and storytelling. As it turns out, this title is as cold and distant as its locales and isometric perspective suggest. There's very little imagery to provoke thoughts or spark the imagination, just a high body count and a lot of swear words. Even if that were enough for a Cyberpunk game, it's handled in a manner that isn't stylish or memorable. All in all, this entry is a difficult recommendation, especially for Fear Effect fans.
