We really need to preserve the trilogy or at least these two games, these games have an excellent story and voice acting, I never got the chance to play this on ps1 and managed to get a port.
This was one of my favorites when I was a tennager, it had great graphics, history, characters, challenge, endigs, I remember it was a 4 discs game, Would be great to have these oldies back in a single file.
Na época do bom e velho Ps1 conhecia jogos de survival horror como Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, Dino Crisis e outros. Mas um jogo, um tanto desconhecido (o que é uma injustiça) foi uma grata surpresa ao encontra-lo por acaso. Um jogo de survival horror com temática Cyberpunk e um visual gráfico incrível para época, merecia muito mais reconhecimento. Sou suspeito em falar pois o genero Cyberpunk é meu preferido em filmes, jogos e séries, e Fear Effect foi um dos melhores jogos que joguei no Ps1. Seria realmente fantástico tê-lo novamente pela loja mais apropriada para isso. Obrigado por essa iniciativa GOG.COM, vocês são incríveis!
