After watching Indie Game : The Movie, I remembered that I should get Fez which my friend recommended to me just after its release. I'd forgotten about it for a few weeks.
So I got it and it's f
ucking awesome. It's charming, quirky, fun, stunningly beautiful at times, relaxing, explorative, fun of course .. I would be playing it instead of sitting here typing, but my wife is in the couch in front of the TV playing it so that I can't. That's never happened before. She normally hates games!
For those who don't know it, it is an indie platform game in which you play this little guy with a fez. The guy lives in a 2D world, but the fez gives him the power to change perspective in a 3D way. So it's a 2D game, but you flip the levels around with the trigger buttons and it's just such a great game mechanic. It makes for a lot of fun challenges and a sort of platformy gameplay that is both familiar and completely new.
The mood of the game is rather relaxed and focused on the nicer things. The places and different dimensions you travel to seem to be mostly islands floating in the sea or in the air. You can travel between these places, also returning to places you've been before and so on, so the game itself is non-linear - which I love.
