It has been a long time since we first played this one - I had forgotten it was even on the Xbox 360 with so many games in between. I picked it up and had a “HOLD UP THIS IS FEZ!” moment and then proceeded to lose my entire evening (gladly!). Let me know what you think of this one and comments are always appreciated! Mark
I am so in love with your channel. Well done guys
@@zoolio Ah thanks Zool - your name reminds me of another game I enjoyed once upon a time! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt YES, my name is based on the scuffed sonic rip off. "Zool from the ninth dimension". Now I am really showing my age lol
An absolute perfect game to get lost in. I still remember some of the secret language.
Very excited firstly, only to be disappointed and disturbed to find the words fuck the police throughout polytron’s Twitter! Being based in Montreal, it must be convenient to call for petitions against the very people protecting impoverished, dangerous communities while thousands of miles away! This is unfortunate since the game looks special! But this is a pass for me and anyone who truly cares for minority business owners and less for vapid virtue signaling!!
It’s kind of unbelievable how an indie game from almost 10 years ago is still so good today. The polish is incredible
Ah, the dev is polish?
Indie Games + Nintendo Switch
...a match made in heaven ❤️
Absolutely! Mark
When you say 'back in the day', but that's just 8 years ago and for me it feels like yesterday.
I know it’s crazy but almost a decade is quite a while 😂 Mark
03:00 mark's face when he says, "seeeee yaaaaaa!"
Hahah pretty much! Mark
Lol good one!
You know you watch "too much" SwitchUp when you start making these connections out of nowhere hahahappy gaming!
Have you guys ever done a 20/20 on gameplay? I was shocked when I saw that
It’s a bonafide classic. I own it on everything it’s available for as it seems to be part of my life like a great album or movie. I would love a physical release of this. The music is just next level. It was my first introduction to Disasterpeace. I have most of his work now too. I couldn’t imagine this game without the soundtrack. If you haven’t guessed I love this game.
I wanted to post something along these lines but you pretty much said what I wanted. This game is very much a part of my life.
There is a physical release, looks awesome but not on switch though.
Oh the hours I spent on this one. I will have to get it again since my 360 died so long ago.
The soundtrack by Disasterpeace ALONE is worth it. I'm so happy it came to Switch!
Thanks for this LEGEND of a video man!
This game got me into Disasterpeace. I have so much of his music and it all started with this game. Such a gem eh.
@@TheInternetIsDeadToMe That's awesome. Same here!
I would like to forget all I remember from my playthrough of Fez so I can enjoy it again as the first time.
Same here! It was one of my fav games on x360. Also yay Devin Townsend Empath avatar!
@@FlackoWeasel ahah, yeah hevydevy is my fav artist, I love anything he creates
Just hearing the music again makes me want to play it all over again. Stunning game
i’ve been waiting for this game for so long! i’m so happy!!
Same i saw this before on documentary on indie games
It’s absolutely SUBLIME - really shows that despite almost a decade - great design doesn’t change. Mark
Just months ago I was thinking it was a pity it never got a switch port.
Is that the highest rated game ever on the channel? I think it is.
It deserves it, fantastic game
This has been in my older gen backlog forever. But seeing your review and knowing what a game in the 90’s means on your channel, I will buy this on Switch where I’m far more likely to go at it. Thanks!
Awesome, I'm glad you guys reviewed this so quickly! It looked so cute and I was contemplating picking it up :) thanks Switchup!
Great review! I picked this up years ago when it first came out and never got around to actually playing it beyond the first 15 mins. Damn backlog!
I've been waiting to play this for so long! So excited!! I'm glad you posted, because I wouldn't have seen this released otherwise, and unlikely many channels will cover it because... Well, it's from 2012 lol.
Good on you guys 🤙
My god. I had all but forgotten this game. It's one of the best gaming experiences I've had to be honest, thanks for reminding me. One of the purest entertainment as art experiences out there.
Great review I was happy to see this game come to the switch I am picking up today cant wait to play thanks for the e video I was interested in making sure it did not have any big bugs witch could happen but I was not expecting it to thanks again
I bought this game on steam for Mac, then again years later for my PS Vita. After seeing this review and it reminding how truly rare it is to have a game that just nails it on every level, I might have to do a hat trick on this one. Soundtrack is absolutely stunning and I recommend picking it up on Bandcamp or iTunes as well.
Totally sold. I haven’t seen this before but It’s on my wishlist now. Thank you!
Thank you for this review. I missed out on the original release and eventually purchased Fez brought the apple store. I never have liked touch controls in games so I was thrilled to see this come out on the Switch. Definitely a must buy for me!
Never been able to place this but now I have the chance. I love the switch for all the old titles that it’s bringing back into the spot light
This is a REAL gem! Mark
I was out of playing games for a few generations, the newest home console I had prior to my switch was the og Xbox, so I missed so much. Love that ports like this are coming to the switch and helping me to catch up on the classics. Back in the room now and following this review I've picked Fez straight up
Never heard of it but after that glowing report it's going on my wishlist 👍🏼 Glad you enjoyed it Mark cheers for the review.
Ive been waiting for a switch port for a while now. Id purchase 10 more times if I had to. Great review,and thanks!!!
One of my favorite games of all time.🥰
Truly a great one
i used to play these 3d world puzzles all the time on my phone. this brings back big memories.
Masterpiece and indie icon, in my top 5 as soon as it was released on switch. Great review, did it justice.
And that music, incredible.
Love your channel dude, keep it up! :)
I also played this on the Xbox 360 and it was, and still is one of my top 5 gaming experiences. I adored this game back when it released and even more so now. Every now and then a truly unique and amazing game comes along and Fez is one of those games. What a masterpiece! The soundtrack is available online and......just like the game, is a masterpiece 😊
This was a title I never got to play when it first came out. But I was always curious about it and I’m glad that it’s still fun to play even now. I’ll definitely have to pick it up and give it a go now that I can. Thanks for the review,
I love the game. Great Review! I have this on Vita. I was pleasantly surprised to see in pop up in the roundup at the end of the direct. I’ll pick it up in a sale at some point, since I already own it elsewhere.
Fez looks so amazing. Great review. I was curious before your video and now I’m sold. I’m going to buy it right now. It’s nice to have an amazing chill game. I’ve played 800 hours of Animal Crossing during the pandemic but I’m a little tired of it right now and looking for all kinds of different games. Animal Crossing is amazing but I need something new to play when I’m tired and just want to relax. I find it very difficult to find a relaxing game that’s amazing and I love.
This review gave me chills. Can’t believe I missed out on this back in day. Thanks for the heads up. Can’t wait to get lost in this one.
Ah that’s so cool! Mark
So happy it came to Switch. Only played a demo on Vita, but ever since I've been wanting to play it! 😁
WOW!!! I have never heard of this game but what an amazing experience it looks to be. Welcome to my backlog FEZ!!!
So worth getting if you love to explore and enjoy
So worth getting if you love to explore and enjoy
@@WaterMusic34 That is exactly what I like in a game
Back in the day I was too busy playing Grand Theft Auto to check this one out. Now, this looks perfect. Excellent review, I'm going to pick this up. It reminds me of Toads Treasure tracker, which surely was inspired by this game.
bought it. love it. only thing recently to take me away for a little bit from season 23 grind in diablo 3 on switch. good times.
This is amazing thanks will check it out!
Of course I'm gonna get my copy of FEZ! I'm sure it's gonna be heavenly good to play it in handheld mode and your review is pretty accurate as always.
Never heard of this game but definitely going to give it a go. Thanks for the great review as always
This is one of my all time favourites and probably one of the best games ever made. Finally bought it on switch in the last sale and replaying it is an incredible joy
I've never played this game. I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it with only a 10% off sale but you've sold it to me. I'm not sure how I didn't get around to playing it last decade.
GREAT review Mark! Cheers!
I was half expecting a Captain Toad Treasure Tracker rehash. boy howdy was i wrong.
what wonderfully unique beautiful to look at puzzle game. I dont gush over games
often, but this deserves it.
After watching this video I feel like I should subscribe. This channel just oozes charm and personality and professionalality as well.
Was going to click away from this review. So glad I didn’t and instead bought the game on my switch lite immediately. Thanks for the great review. Keep up the amazing work!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Picking it up and going to fall in love with it all over again.
I didn't know this game had been on the 360(of course I never really got into playing games on the 360) but I saw it on the eshop earlier today and the short clip I saw of the gameplay made me smile..not alot of games do that anymore,so I'm definitely picking this one up..I was surprised you guys gave it such a high score..that's one reason I like this channel is you guys are truthful,if a game sucks or certain parts of it suck you come out and say so..since you guys gave this game such a high score I know that I won't be wasting my money with this one and you have affirmed my initial feeling of it when I saw the gameplay 😁
Yeah - we try to always speak as clearly and truthfully as we can. I think just having us two doing the vast majority of the reviews helps viewers keep that consistent reliability! Cheers matey. Mark
I am so tempted to buy Fez again I have it on the 360 and yet to complete it, yup sitting in my back log on that console too lol
Excited to finally check this one out!
After seeing indie game the movie, this was always on the back of my mind. Really unfortunate this guy got canceled. He seemed to be strugling with a lot of issues. Like most genius people do. I hope this get a physical release so it can get a nice spot in my collection.
Why he got cancelled?
@@sparkypack he became super famous for an indie game developer after Indie Game:The Movie. He was heavily criticized for some posts on social media. After an online argument with a game critic, he announced that he would no longer be working on the sequel to Fez and was quitting the industry for good.
@@sparkypack well maybe it's better to say he canceled himself and the follow up of fez in a twitter rage quit
God I remember seeing videos of this back in the day when I only had a DS and thinking it looked enchanting. I will definitely be picking this up for my Switch.
Ah you’ll love it mate! Mark
So excited to play this for the first time
I like that the only con listed is that there isn't a sequel 🤣
And it might stay that way for a looooooong time...
FEZ 2 is still cancelled.
Never played this one, always past me by for some reason. Ill definitely give it a go soon! Oof my back log is in pain! Thanks for the vid guys keep up the good work, always appreciated
Amazing review as always!
Fez is SUCH a good game. The sense of depth while still LOOKING 2D is just... wow. Really hope this does well on Switch. Shame we won't get a sequel.
Please do "There is No Game: Wrong Dimension" next. I played the first one years ago and was so happy when I saw the sequel was coming to the Switch.
I was in love with the demo on xbla as a child but never had the $15 to blow on it. I already had an Xbox One by the time I could dream that dream. So glad to see this game comeback and I can’t wait to finally get into it.
Oh man, this game is a proper masterpiece and I’ll probably have to buy it again on the Switch, which is where it should have always been. Music, visuals, mystery and such a unique concept, you’ve made me keen to play this all over again. Thanks guys!
I’m new to console gaming in general and this sounds like a lovely chill game, definitely going to be picking it up
Pez Dispenser? More like Fez Dispenser!
OOOF! Mark
More like per dis...fez...ter....😞
More like Fish Disperser. Badum Tish.
@@Radiant_Silverback Fuck off.
I 100% this game back in the day. It's not easy! The switch is a perfect place for this game! Great review!
FEZ and the Switch are the most iconic duo since Siegfried and Roy.
I got it for FREE a year ago or so for Mac directly from the developers. They offered the game free to everyone on Mac and PC
oh.... so it's good. this should be fun, can't wait to pick this up soon
Bought it day one back on the Xbox 360. Didn't know it was on Switch, i just bought it now on the Switch store, great game made even greater now i can revisit it and play on the go.
ill pick it up eventually i just got a switch in recent time and i have so much back catalog
What a heavenly game! I bought it back in the day on the Xbox 360 and on PC, next on PS4 and now again on the Nintendo Switch. It's a testament to how good this game actually really is from the sound(track), gfx to gameplay, it's one of the OG indie darlings!
I got the golden trophy for this game a few years back, I can do it again 😤
Ooh I'm glad this came to the switch. Cheers guys.
Yo that beat at the end too firee
I finally will have to pick this up and give it a try.
I have bought this game so many times on different platforms, and now again for switch.
You guys moved fast on this one :)
It's on PC also. Hopefully it'll be released on the XSX in 4k 60fps - I'd prefer that solution or accept the Switch version if it goes on sale (bigger reduction 'cos I'm tight). Great review, thanks. Now I can add Fez to my wishlist.
Just bought this in the sales..£6.48…an absolute bargain…so nice to play something that doesn’t punish you ( as you reported in your review) as I’m not good at most games, but truly love this game . Thank for your review, even though a year old now, but still counts
Have it on Steam, haven't played it yet. Will pick it up on Switch and play it there :D
I never played this game before. It looks really neat. I will purchase when I can.
Played this back in the day and it is an amazing experience. If you haven’t played it then you should definitely jump on it now and it’s a perfect title for the switch. Happy gaming
Great review. Downloading as I write this. Perfect to play between hunting monsters.
I thought your comment was great. I feel the same way. I love dead cells and MHR and like to play relaxing games in between.
@@meghanjames565 that's cool. Playing Fez seems like it'll be a very chill experience
One of the all time indie greats this one. Played it on PSVita quite recently
That looks like a very interesting game. Will definitely consider it! Thanks!
Great review, absolutely agree with every point of it.
Bought Fez off the back of this review. The game design and original concept is amazing.
Glad you’re enjoying it - love it myself! Mark
back in 2012, I didn't even know what pixel art was. Yet here people were, creating masterpiece gems
One of my absolute all time favourites (as if that isn't obvious from my channel). So glad to finally have this on Switch!
Hehe glorious game! Mark
I recently started playing this game and I love it
Oh I hope I get to play this game one day!
It's my absolute favorite indie game. 20/20. And more more deep that just a puzzle plateformer with lot's a secret to unveil.
Absolutely! Mark
I remember looking at the icon on App Store and wasn’t even bothered to check what it was. Not sure if that was a good move, but I aim to rectify that mistake as this looks absolutely amazing
Already bought this game twice, but I could be persuaded to buy it again for Switch. It’s that good. The soundtrack is worth buying too!
I absolutely loved this game on the Xbox, and I will absolutely be picking this one up on Switch. As another commenter says, the Switch and indie games is a perfect match, and what I primarily use the console for.
Yeah totally agree with that! Mark
How long I have been waiting for Fez to come to Switch, will be my first time to play the game!
You'll never get Fez 2.
This game is still amazing. Still hands down one of the best. The soundtrack is amazing. I listen to it in the morning sometimes when I’m waking up.
This actually looks awesome. Might pick it up on a sale.
I can’t wait to play this game!
Looks great another one for the wish list
Ooo yeah, this looks right up my alley
This game is an absolute masterpiece. Lets hope that this might somehow get Phil Fish to do a sequel.
He cancelled the game as a temper tantrum after getting insulted by a random on twitter. If he releases a sequel now, he’ll become a laughing stock
@@msnhao Yeah--- he's not a great person.
I don't know Phil so I wouldn't know.
All I know is Fez is a gaming gem.
which has no effect on playing the actual game so time to move on as he does not even own the game....
Or a total different game
