Retro game of the week - Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix (PSX)

This week we’re playing Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix on the original Playstation. This game from 2001 is known for its shock value in the form of bloody death scenes ...... and the lesbian relationship between two of the game’s leads. Fear Effect 2 was a prequel to the first game which showed how the three main characters met. It also introduced Hana’s love interest, Rain. Their mission in the game was to stop an epidemic of a highly dangerous disease. The game looked a lot like a cel shaded Resident Evil thanks to its pre rendered background and cinematic camera angles. It made the futuristic cyberpunk world of Hong Kong a very interesting place to explore.
