DOG: Five years in the making, Fez finally arrived on Xbox Live Arcade last Friday. Ryan explains why this one-of-a-kind platform game deserves a download.
Random Nintendo shares Indie World highlights and impressions of Fez, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, and Aerial_Knight's Never Yield. Plus, The Great Ace Attorney, Microsoft's Switch on a shelf, and more.
With its unique visuals, wonderful soundtrack, and addicting gameplay, FEZ is as much fun to play today as it was nine years ago. Jes from Gaming Respawn reviews.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "In short, Fez is as good now as it has always been. The reason I call this version the best way to experience this indie game is mostly due to the perfect combination of the Switch’s portability and its screen being much larger than the Vita’s. This is easily one of the best indies ever made, and one of the most important games of the past decade. Even though a lot of younger players only know it due to its troubled development cycle and some post-launch controversies, Switch owners should definitely pick this game up. This gem took an eternity to arrive on the system, but it feels right at home on it."
Its less.........
beautiful game.
fez is one of the best games I've played this generation. Like Braid, I will classify it more as a puzzle game than a platformer. The concept is relatively unique and it requires some careful planning, thinking and manipulation as opposed to twitching and quick reflexes in most platformers.
Everyone with an Xbox 360 owe it to themselves to download this game now. Hopefully it will be released on other platforms in the future so more gamers can enjoy this gem, otherwise they will be truly missing out.
PS3 'fanboys' shouldnt be angry, they got Journey, which is a beautiful, amazing game. Now 360-only owners get thier own amazing platformer. Sure, they're fairly different games, but both amazing exclusives in thier own right.
I will disagree because I'm jelly that I only own an Atari and its not getting any good downloads this month. Been kinda slow.
