Title: Fez. (XBLA)
Post by: KDR_11k on April 21, 2012, 03:35:26 AM
Fez is awesome. The basic platformy-turny gameplay is already fun and then there's the insane level of secrets piled on top of that. Just be aware that many of the riddles require information gathered from around the game world, you cannot solve them when you first encounter them.
My progress so far is 31 cubes, 14 anti-cubes, four artifacts (none of which I could find a real use for) and two codes decrypted.
Also don't bother decyphering the intro, there's no important information there.

I like the game quite a bit, but I "finished" it yesterday and came away with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth at the end of things. I eventually broke down and looked up the solutions to the last 10 or so anti-cubes/secrets I couldn't figure out, and I'm glad I did, because there was basically no way I ever would have figured them out aside from blind chance. I didn't bother decoding the alphabet (aside from one of the final secrets, I don't think you need to to solve anything), and from some of the translations posted online there doesn't seem to be much of use. And really, the final three puzzles are basically impossible, the last one literally so from what I'm reading (outside of a horrifying level of brute force). The completionist in me bristled against this designer hubris. 85% of the hard stuff in Fez is doable, probably Riven-level adventure game fare, but the extra rind went too far.

The thing that's sapping my will right now is the Meat Circus-style room in the virtual boy area.
