    "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.

      Editing … Speaking of cute little animals, there are plenty of them who just add to the already charming atmosphere that stems from the adorable character design, sexy chiptune sound canvas and pretty pixel art style. The soundtrack is done by Disasterpeace – and - it - is - marvellous! Fittingly chilly, soothing and transcendent … well worthy of a song of praise of its own. On top of that, Gomez sports a colorful palette of animations, as well as a refreshing amount of freedom for a 2D platformer. I mean, he can even grab onto ledges and shimmy *around* them, for fuck's sake.

      Editing … The jumping controls do feel a bit floaty and heavy. But that quickly becomes surprisingly irrelevant as the quirky world, the atmosphere, and the sheer variety of puzzles make you forget that "weight", and they all more than make up for it. Not *that* surprising, though, once you realize that this is way more a puzzle game than a platformer.

      Editing … And there are *a lot* of puzzles. They are often very cryptic and solving them (without a guide) was especially satisfying to me. It *is* possible to solve them without a guide due to the well-crafted puzzle design and well-hidden in-game hints. I was delighted by many of the smart and unorthodox puzzle ideas. New elements are added even in the later areas – even-*even* in the New Game+ – so that the game stayed fresh until the end … and far beyond.

      Editing … *Except* for the final two puzzles, which are untypically unsolvable with mere in-game knowledge. I'll substract points from the perfect score just for that.

      Editing … I've listened to the soundtrack way sooner than I've played the game. I mean, tell me about it. It's greatly fitting the game – AND can be enjoyed on its own! — Why am I excited? Because of all the comments? I just do it like that because you can't write a line break within a single comment.

    Just noticed an email by Steam from days or weeks ago telling me that a game I want was on sale. Of course, I missed it.

    AGAIN! I MISSED FEZ ON SALE, AGAIN! FUUUUUUUUUUCK!

    Fez is a near-absolute masterpiece. While exploring the incredibly vivid and original world, I came to realize why the development lasted as long as it did. It must've taken a team of geniuses to craft the brilliant puzzle designs and intricate secrets that one can find in every corner of the 8-bit landscape. The story and world is so vaguely explained that it truly is left to the player to use the bits and pieces given to them to find the cohesive story buried within. But the best part of Fez is actually the game's beautiful soundtrack. Atmospheric and unbelievably well-composed, Fez's soundtracks is one of the best I've ever heard in a video game. If not for the iffy platforming, Fez would be as perfect as any game could get.

    Fez is a tough puzzler that refuses to make anything easy for the average player. The charm of the little pixel hero, Gomez, is priceless though. I can't remember any other modern game that hooked me into a puzzle adventure in the same way as Fez.

    Really cool platforming mechanics and tons of collectibles make this a very replayable and all around fun game. The world is huge and the puzzles are genuinely mind-boggling.

    Fez is as much a piece of gaming art as it is a charming puzzle-platformer. It's up to each individual to reflect upon the former aspect, whereas on the latter I have this to say: If you are not keen on exploration, you can easily "complete" the game while having seen only half of what it has to offer. The real challenge lies in working your way beyond the 100% completion mark and solving puzzles that get increasingly difficult. In fact, some of the later mysteries are so cryptical, most people simply won't have the patience for it. But if you are looking for genuinely hard puzzles with very little help from the game itself, Fez might be just the thing.
