Let me start with a pretentious tl;dr quote: Fez from 0-100% is a fun game. Fez beyond 100% is an awesome experience.

If you haven't picked up on it already, the percentages are game completion. Fez has already recieved wide praise so no need to pile up extra details here. When I first played it, it felt like an ok game, pretty fun, not as great as the praise it recieved. I finished it (100%) and left it standing there for a long time. Recently, I decided to get all the achievements and came back to it. It's a different beast - it might still not be worth the 91/100 metacritic score and the dev is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but the game is undeniably fun and definitely worth a full playthrough. If you enjoy challenging puzzle solving and deciphering (you know, the pen & paper and screenshot analysis kind of thing) or platforming for that matter, this game is definitely for you. It can be aggravating at times, true, but that just makes it sweeter, doesn't it ;)
