But this platformer’s brilliant twist is the ability to rotate your 2D perspective around a third dimension. You move through the world by jumping and climbing. On the surface, Fez is a classic puzzle platformer like Mario, only without any enemies to squash. Shortly afterward, a giant, golden hexahedron appears and undoes the rules of space and time, revealing to Gomez that he’s actually living in three dimensions.įrom there, the gameplay of Fez is both impressively simple and brutally complicated. Then, one day, he receives a magic red fez hat. It’s never been easier to play Fez, but there’s a decent chance you never have.Ĭreated by the sometimes-controversial game designer Phil Fish (at various times he’s said that Japanese games “just suck” and “gamers are the worst f**king people”), Fez tells the story of a white blobby character named Gomez who’s living in an idyllic, pixelated 2D world. One year ago, on April 14, 2021, the indie cult classic was ported over to Nintendo Switch, finally conquering all the major gaming platforms.
Released 10 years ago on Apas an Xbox 360 exclusive, Fez later made the jump to Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac computers, PlayStation, and even iPhones.
