James Steel Writes -
'From the soothing opening synthesizer chords gracing the title screen, Fez presents itself as something unique. In the land of squares, the cube is king!
It’s hard not to consider the development history of the title, and with around five years under creator Phil Fish’s belt, this indie marvel is finally available worldwide through Xbox Live. Reviewing Fez really took me back to the days without the Internet, hearkening back to the times when you couldn’t look up walkthroughs and help guides, but in a way this helped me, it helped me to truly see how deep, complex, and downright stunning Fez really is. From a genre that’s completely out of my comfort zone, Fez came along and challenged all my preconceptions of indie platformers, proving to be an experience that I won’t soon forget.
Is this perspective shifting 8-bit platformer worth changing your views on the genre, or should it have been left in the bygone era it takes inspiration from?'
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."
