There’s no way FEZ is over 10 years ol….. oh. Thanks, now I feel old.
Anyone else remember the documentary about making an indie game featuring FEZ, Super Meat Boy, and Braid?
For those who are curious, the documentary is – Indie Game: The Movie (2012)
I finished Fez last year on the PS Vita, and in many ways it still holds up wonderfully. The graphics are gorgeous and the central game mechanic of switching perspectives feels kind of timeless as well. The platforming is mellow – you’re never sent more than a jump or two away if you yeet yourself into the void by accident – so there’s a calm and cheerful vibe.
The only criticism I’d levy are that 100% completion requires you to complete some truly obtuse puzzles including one that’s still unexplained to this day. People know how to solve it, but it was either brute-forced or data-mined, nobody’s sure if there’s a “genuine” way to come by the answer.
Fez 2 will forever remain an intriguing “what if”. I don’t know if even Phil Fish ever had a strong idea what the sequel would have been like, but I would have loved to see it.
Yeah but fuck the creator
It has also one of the best soundtracks IMO. It’s fascinating how the tracks on their own take you through the same adventure as the game.
