Having watched Indie Game: The Movie, I want to get Fez but is it as good as it looks and is the patch controversy as big a deal as it's made out to be.

Play it and find out.

Fez was alright. If the price was higher than $10 I'd have probably skipped it and waited for a sale on 360. It was a fun experience from playing it, but not anything amazing.

As a puzzle platformer I liked Braid a bit more.

BTW, Fez is coming to PC at some point. So if you are on the fence you can wait it out for a sale on the game.

It'd be pretty crap to find out it isn't worth the €10 after buying it, that's why i'm asking for opinions first.

It certainly would, but every XBLA game is required to have a trial version, so I would give that a shot.

Me, I'm stuck waiting for the PC port myself so I can't really answer your question. It definitely looks good, and a lot of my friends enjoyed it (even those who really don't like Phil Fish).

I don't understand the backlash against Phil Fish, sure he said some pretty stupid things but wouldn't you if you're constantly under stress as seen in Indie Game: The Movie. He seems to have nothing but bad luck.

Btw, not ranting against you just the bad opinion against Phil Fish in general.

I've heard it's meant to be the worst of the three featured in Indie Game: The Movie, since I already have Super Meat Boy (brilliant game) I might get Braid and as you said, wait until a sale for Fez.

I don't get it either. He's not exactly the friendliest indie dev out there ("computers are for spreadsheets") but in no way does he deserve the hate.

But it was kind of stupid for me to bring it up, honestly. Let's not turn this into a Fish thread, because that tends to derail any conversation on the actual game.

agreed, I found that out from reading any Fez article.

Lol, the Phil Fish flashing lights seizure style game. What on earth was he thinking?
