Phil Fish was recently the center of yet another controversy as he took to Twitter and accused Redditors of "murdering" a young man accused of committing the April 15th Boston bombings.
Fish is the creator of FEZ, the hugely popular indie game that was the subject of Indie Game: The Movie. The game has sold over 200,000 copies on Xbox Live to date, and catapulted Fish to video game stardom in mid-2012. The game centers around Gomez, a 2-D character thrust into a 3-D world after discovering the magical Hexahedron. The game was praised by critics for its innovative design and forward-thinking gameplay, and it received numerous nominations and awards. Since its release, Fish has been very vocal about his criticism of the games industry, including his comments about Japanese games and, most recently, the Boston bombings.
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."

I think Phil Fish should be nicer to the rest of the world, first.
Respect goes hand in hand. He should have been more reserved but a lot of people on forums are just downright negative, aggressive and ignorant.
That dude is a dickhead.
Who the fuck is "Fill The Fish" ?
Can't say this article changed my mind. The guy is a prick and people are not trying to deny him his right to his opinion by calling him a prick when he gives a pricky opinion.
He's an also-ran in the already overcrowded world of purposefully retro hipster games. Fez contains some interesting ideas as do many games in that genre but it isn't even close to being the breakthrough for the industry he seems to think it is. He acts like he's Gabe Newell.
