It's an important game. As with many others, I learned of Fez from Indie Game: the movie, which was promoted on certain online channels. Without thinking much of it, I explored further into the domain, watched it, and fell in love with the power and imagination of indie titles. After playing the game, I can say that it really stands out as a unique title that deserves the attention it garners. From the sprites, the sound, the story; Fez is a unique achievement not only for an indie game, but for video games as a medium.
Fez. Ah, Fez. Possibly the progenitor of the Clever Indie Game, where it does things to get into your mind, or plays clever tricks to reveal a deeper depth.
At first blush, it appears to be a simple 2D platformer where death is but a minor inconvenience. Then the hypercube arrives.
Now yes, at times Fez could be completely full of itself. Some of the puzzles are very much so "think like the developer." Yes, the developers themselves were a bit unprepared for the reception of some of the things they said. Ultimately, it's trifling and silly compared to what has since transpired.
I can only hope that one day, Fez ][ does actually happen. But in the meantime, what a nice void to explore, eh?
Please bring back Fez to GOG!
It's one of the crown jewels of indie gaming.
I really loved the expansion of the game world (higher dimensions, learning the language, the puzzles).
Everyone should get to experience this game, and it deserves to be on the Preservation Program!
Do not forget to include the epic, amazing soundtrack by Disasterpeace.
