GamesBeat details some of the game-crippling issues that hamper indie-darling Fez. Developer Polytron responds with an acknowledgement of the problems and talks about a patch.
Random Nintendo shares Indie World highlights and impressions of Fez, There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, and Aerial_Knight's Never Yield. Plus, The Great Ace Attorney, Microsoft's Switch on a shelf, and more.
With its unique visuals, wonderful soundtrack, and addicting gameplay, FEZ is as much fun to play today as it was nine years ago. Jes from Gaming Respawn reviews.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "In short, Fez is as good now as it has always been. The reason I call this version the best way to experience this indie game is mostly due to the perfect combination of the Switch’s portability and its screen being much larger than the Vita’s. This is easily one of the best indies ever made, and one of the most important games of the past decade. Even though a lot of younger players only know it due to its troubled development cycle and some post-launch controversies, Switch owners should definitely pick this game up. This gem took an eternity to arrive on the system, but it feels right at home on it."
After shifting a room, my character fell out of the world and kept warping back to the same spot so that I was falling over and over in a loop. I had to time my perspective shifting perfectly in order to catch him and stop the endless suicides.
I had some bugs and they should be fixed. But overall (having just beat the game), I think Fez is an excellent game. If anything, it's biggest problem is that some puzzles are a little too obtuse ( THAT F****** TOLL BELL), but that's really the best substantial problem to have I guess. Better some parts of it be Castlevania II-esque in their difficulty, than be as easy as Ninja Gaiden III.
Aw man, I'd rather they be spending their time making a PC or PS3 version than having to fix a bunch of bugs, but these are pretty necessary to fix. Bummer.
I experienced the game breaking and save file corruption bugs. Here was my letter to Polytron.
I went into a room in the 4 cube world where there was just a green worm. The game froze and now when i select continue it crashes the game. The irony of a game resembling the days of the NES so authentically it has save file corrupting and game breaking issues aside, it sucks to have to start over. I will wait for a patch because I like your game and want to finish it.
