Fez

Game Review: Fez



Genre: Puzzle/Platformer

Players assume the role of Gomez, a square in a 2D world whose encounter with a cube, leaves him with the gift to see beyond the 2D world, but with the cost that only he can collect the cube fragments necessary to keep his universe from unravelling. Fez delivers a very ubique gameplay experience where the player must get through the world and solve puzzles using your new found ability to change your perspective and literally turn the stage, broken into 4 sides. This unique take on perception opens up a world of problem solving not present in any other puzzle game I have encountered. The stages are designed in an open world type of format where you can freely leave and return to areas you have already been to. The game itself has a few bugs and "hiccups" such as dropping to your death when you change perspective mid-jump in a closed room, but bugs aside, this is a very unique and wonderful gaming experience.
