Fez: Gameplay
Recently, I have completed the game Fez. This game kept me entertained and I truly recommend playing it if you enjoy puzzles and Super Paper Mario as this game has a similar mechanic in which the world is rotated changing your view and seems 3D while turning and is a platformer game.
The rotating mechanic is unlocked when the main character (Gomez) is given a fez by a hexahedron which explodes due to the instability caused by Gomez using this mechanic. Cubes, cube bits and anti-cubes are scattered across the world.
The aim of the game is to collect cube bits, cubes and anti-cubes while travelling through the map to stabilise the world. You are able to go to different places by mainly walking through doors, unlocking locked doors using a key item (Found in chests), uncovering secret doors by performing different tasks, travelling through linked doors which take you to a specific place where the door is linked, or warp gates located at every main hub and and the end of a route.
Each 'level' part of the world is completed by solving all of the puzzles and uncovering every secret in that area.
By using the map, you can see if a level has been completed as it will turn gold. This is very useful as you are able to know if you have gotten everything in that area. You do not have to fully complete a level to move onto the next part of the level as some levels you need to go back to due to gaining new knowledge during the course of the game and discovering more secrets.
Moreover, you can earn achievements, not only internally through the game but via the Steam community which is connected through the game. This tempts you to continue playing as you want to gain all of the available achievements.
