"FEZ is an amazing game that uses a unique camera-rotation premise to transform a 3D world into a 2D platforming challenge. The game is reminiscent of the older Zelda games, where you locate treasure chests and hearts through enjoyable but often aimless adventuring. Many of the puzzles could take hours for the average player to solve—assuming they’re not using internet walkthroughs. Luckily, most of the puzzles are optional, and make the New Game+ an experience just as fresh as the first playthrough. Overall, the game is a hallmark of indie gaming—representing both a step in design and a step in the success of the Arcade systems gracing XBOX360, PSN, and iPhones and iPads."
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."
