[h3]10/10[/h3] [b][EN][/b] [h2]Rain's Origins[/h2] It was a matter of time for this one to come to PC too! Fear Effect 2 was slightly harder (even the puzzles are harder) than the first game in the franchise, but it still retains the same gameplay mechanics and keyboard controls. We also have an extra character to play now - Rain Qin - who is also a very important character in the game's story. Just like the first game, this one runs on an emulator, with the exact same settings and features. The game is a prequel, so we see certain characters who died in the first game, alive here. I found the story of this one quite interesting (and it's still peak), as much as the one from the first game. It mixes Chinese history and folklore with the futuristic setting of Fear Effect. This game also explains why Rain isn't in the first game, and where Hana got her knife! It's worth mentioning that this game introduced a sapphic couple when video games at that time lacked LGBT representation (Rain [lesbian] and Hana [bisexual]). As usual for this franchise, this game has two endings, depending on your choices. Unlike the first game, you don't unlock a "true ending" if you play on hard mode. Special thanks to my girlfriend Bibi for gifting me this game <3 [b][PT][/b] [h2]As Origens de Rain[/h2] Era apenas uma questão de tempo até que este jogo chegasse também ao PC! Fear Effect 2 é um pouco mais difícil (até os puzzles são mais difíceis) do que o primeiro jogo da franquia, mas ainda assim mantém as mesmas mecânicas de jogabilidade e controlos do teclado. Temos agora também uma personagem extra para jogar — Rain Qin — que também é muito importante na história do jogo. Tal como o primeiro jogo, este corre num emulador, com as mesmas configurações e funcionalidades. O jogo é uma prequela, por isso vemos aqui algumas personagens que morreram no primeiro jogo vivas. Achei a história deste jogo bastante interessante (e continua a ser o pico), tanto quanto a do primeiro. Mistura a história e o folclore chineses com o cenário futurista de Fear Effect. Este jogo também explica porque é que Rain não está no primeiro jogo e onde é que Hana arranjou a sua faca! De referir que este jogo introduziu um casal sáfico numa altura em que os videojogos careciam de representatividade LGBT (Rain [lésbica] e Hana [bissexual]). Como é habitual nesta franquia, este jogo tem dois finais, dependendo das vossas escolhas. Ao contrário do primeiro jogo, não desbloqueiam um "verdadeiro final" se jogarem no modo difícil. Um agradecimento especial à minha namorada Bibi por me ter presenteado com este jogo <3

it's a classic game love it good storyline always been my favorite game Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix
"Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix" to połączenie gry akcji, przygodówki oraz skradanki. Produkcja cechuje się zwariowaną fabułą, pełną nieprzewidywalnych zwrotów akcji, jak również ciekawymi i charyzmatycznymi bohaterami. Ponadto pochwalić należy zróżnicowany gameplay. Potyczki z bossami, eksploracja całkiem nieźle zaprojektowanych lokacji, rozwiązywanie wymagających łamigłówek oraz zaimplementowane minigry to niewątpliwe zalety "Fear Effect 2". Gra zaskakuje fabularnymi rozwiązania i zastosowanymi mechanikami. "Fear Effect 2" jest bardzo filmowy. Ucieczka przed falą uderzeniową po eksplozji, czy długa sekwencja podczas uroczystej gali na długo zostają w pamięci. Przywodzi to myśl dobry film szpiegowski. Warto tu zaznaczyć, że w grze nie brakuje erotyzmu. Bohaterki są seksowne i często wykorzystują swoje atuty w drodze do osiągnięcia celu. Dla mnie "Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix" to prawdziwa perełka warta każdej minuty.
Емулятор, як і перша частина. За відчуттями, ще більше пазлів. Немає нечесних ситуацій після катсцен, як у попередній грі. Цікаві локації, обширні пазли, трохи нової зброї. Під фінал чомусь вирішили закидати пазлами, не всі з яких були цікавими. І більшість сюжету пояснюється аж в самому фіналі.
