Review: FEZ

FEZ

is an independent platform game with a retro look and a basic premise that is as unique as it is simple. Sounds familiar? These games are a dime a dozen these days, with new ones that appear every week, but again when FEZ

was revealed for the first time, that really stands out among the crowd.

Polytron announced as July 17, 2007, and quickly became the darling of the indie that everyone was excited. The years, however, were puzzling platform game fish Phil lost in a sea of ??mind games, like, and what was the game in locations around the world now looks like any other fish in the pond.

the trick.

Once the level is increased, the surface of the screen "flattened" to form a two dimensional image. Gomez himself remains a single sprite, and can not interact with the world as a major traditional platforms. To conquer the world, players must constantly rotate the scene to change shape and innovate.

Since everything flattens out, which could be an unbridgeable gulf earlier in perspective may be a short hop to the next. To give a simple example of what can be done, there is a wall with two layers of vines, that Gomez can use to climb. However, patches of vines spread half of the wall with a patch on the left side of the wall and one on the right, too far to jump through Gomez. Fortunately, the patch starting higher than the lower extremities, so that if the level is turned to a perspective on the sides, the vines are attached to perfection. The two separate parcels of vines are now large, and can rise Gomez.

It's just a simple example, but the game is played with the key trick in many ways unique and intelligent. Using the perspective of changes similar to those Paper Mario

will keep you thinking all the time. Most puzzles are very simple, but the challenge is to make the work of brain itself the right path. It can be surprisingly difficult to think in three dimensions while playing in two, and

As a platform game puzzle

not just go through the steps and the conquerors of monsters. There is no real enemies in the game, and if Gomez falls off a cliff or is involved in the patches of "negative space", he simply reappear in the last stable platform, stood on . Instead of survival, the objective is to collect gold cubes thirty-two, many of which are earned by collecting small "bits" that will become a new platform, when eight of them meet .

If thirty two buckets sound like much, you'll be happy to know that their collection is not as bad as it sounds. The map screen shows exactly what can kindly be collected on each card, and lets you know if the bits are present. Each time you collect all the bits (or sometimes even buckets) at a stage before moving on, the obligation to go back is minimized. Of course, the world itself is vast, with multiple doors on the steps leading to all sorts of different ways, making it surprisingly easy to feel lost and overwhelmed -. Although not necessarily in the wrong direction

collected enough cubes to win the game is easier than it looks, and the cleanliness of the game must have for first time players a handful of hours. However,

FEZ

packs a lot of extras to keep the investment some players with a series of intricate puzzles that remain optional, even the smartest tax minds. The rooms are indicated with a "?" symbol on the map are at home enigmas secrets that give the player with additional rewards, most often a "negative" of the cube. There are thirty-two cubes negative, corresponding to gold 32. The good news is that these count towards the 32 needed to end the game, so players can win the game faster if they buy it. The "bad" news is that FEZ throws down the gauntlet to anyone trying to bring everyone together.
