"Fez" is nothing more than another generic 2D platformer where you have to climb a series of mostly vertical levels … or *is* it?

Once the fluffy critter called Gomez gets to wear the eponymous fez you'll see the world with new eyes. It allows you to rotate the camera sideways, resulting in – literally – a new dimension of gameplay.

And the game design makes full use of that notion; on that shift in perspective; on the idea of interacting with objects from a higher dimension: be it the platforming, the puzzles or even the story; from the Hypercube companion to the 3-dimensional placement of seemingly unsuspicious 2D platforms; from hidden doors to animals seemingly moving on the spot from certain perspectives – you will find this concept everywhere. "Fez" is well-crafted like that.
