No. 59: Fez – 100 Greatest Games Ever
Fez is everything a modern platformer should be. At first appearing to be a simple, straightfoward and cutesy little game, you soon find a magic hat that lets you rotate the entire world 90 degrees on its axis, allowing for new kinds of movement and ways to explore the world. It's a beautiful mix of platformer and puzzler, one that makes you think differently about simply traveling around.
Beating it once will only get you so far, though. The real meat of the game starts when you begin a New game plus with all the collectables you've obtained. There's so much to explore and find in the game that your second playthrough will be as amazing as the first.
The pixelated art style and incredible syth soundtrack only make your journey more remarkable.
