Fez is a nice 2D platformer where the unique mechanic is that the world is 3D in reality and you can shift the world in 90° angles, whereby you can then reach new platforms and places, because now the backwall is suddenly a 2 block high platform that you can jump on.

You play as a cute little dude who gets the titular fez, which gives you the world turning power. Then you explore to your own liking and solve secrets to find cubes. A bit like The Witness in that regard. There is no real story or narrative, but simply exploring to my hearts content was enough to motivate me.

The music is also great and I still listen to it, since it portrays very fittingly the adventure spirit and mystique of some places. The atmosphere is similar to Tunic in that it feels whimsically adventurous.

If you like exploring things and finding hints and connections to solve puzzles, this game is for you. Especially if you like con languages and secrets behind secrets, but then you probably already played this game.

Sadly we will probably never play another game by this developer, as he behaved like an asshole and then the (not unfounded) backlash to that pushed him enough to quit developing.
