Fez

About the game
Fez is a platforming puzzle game designed to make your head want to explode. In a good way. In the beginning you are in a 2D world, playing a character named Gomez. You are asked to visit the top of your village to talk to an old man with an Eye-patch (super cool!) You climb the village passing all kinds of people, all saying how cool 2D is and anything else is impossible. When you reach the top, the old man starts to talk about how something amazing is about to happen to you and this and that and something happens that you honestly have to see to believe. It's very trippy, and very cool. It sends you to the title screen, which looks alot like you breaking the game, and everything restarts, your in your room again, you wake up, but then when you walk outside everythings a little different. You know gain the ability to turn the camera, everywhere having four sides.

The main idea of this game is to collect all the pieces of an ancient "myth" if you will. There a light shapes which are basically platforming, just find all the rooms, and be able to get to the shapes, challenges. However, there are also darker shapes, which require puzzle solving to get. Some puzzles are easier, while some are harder. Much harder. Like you need to read a new language harder. It is truely an amazing test of the mind. Once you get 32/64 total shapes, you beat the game, and are sent to the title screen again and you are given a new option: New Game+! Which means you can "beat the game" at 32 shapes, and after that you are given the option to go back and get everything else! Hours upon hours of just amazing game play, puzzles, platforming, and head explosions!

The Good
The game has a great storyline, fun puzzles, and amazing controls on both keyboard AND controller. Truely an amazing addition to the gaming world, and developed really well. Its hard to tell you exactly everything about this game, it really is a see to believe game.  

The Bad
The only bad thing about this game is that it IS a challenge. Some of these puzzles are a bit tough, a little to tough. It tooks some time and a little googling to do anything past beating the game. Maybe if you read "Alien Cube Language" it would be okay. Unfortunately, I don't, which made the game unplayable, but only after NG+. 

The Score
All in all, I saw nothing wrong with this game. No crazy bugs, no gameplay issues, and everything is just beautiful and good to look at. I would give this game a 9.5/10 . For so cheap, and such a great game, your crazy not to get this game!
