A reflection on the reasons Phil Fish to cancel FEZ II and leave the industry.
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."
"Phil Fish - A falling star"
No. Phil Fish - A failed star". Fish obviously lives in a glass house, he shouldn't of been throwing stones in the first place. So he can get on down the road with his juvenile "you made me mad so I'm taking my ball and going home" attitude.
He wasn't a 'star' to begin with. Just a self-absorbed hipster with ONE indie game to his name, who even treated his own fans like crap. All I know is one day karma's gonna come back to bite him on the a*s and I will show no sympathy.
I applaud Phil Fish, for demonstrating so brilliantly what being a self-important jerk can really be like.
Good work, Phil. Fez.. was not really that great, yet Phil acts like he created platforming, projected puzzling (Echochrome 1&2, just to name a couple), and the use of orthographic projection.
Don't even get me started on Jonathan Blow. Braid *sucks*, IMO. It's not really much _fun_? Kinda the point, I thought. Maybe if you have no other games it is, I dunno.
