I'd rather be fed Fez intravenously for the rest of my life than play another minute of La-Mulana, so I think Fill Phish did okay.

Terribleness ain't a zero-sum game: both Fez and La-Mulana are games that look like they might be good but it ends up that they are disappointing garbage that you'll never finish.

e: They're no Shovel Knights is what I'm saying

La-Mulana is a rad game for rad people and doesn't pretend to be art.

You can beat Fez in a few hours without having to open a FAQ.

My point is Shovel Knight didn't exist when I played Fez and La_mulana.

its pretty great how challenge has been redefined over the years as "something you can do if you bang your head against it for long enough" instead of, well, a challenge

I was clarifying that Fez can reasonably be beaten without having to pore over puzzle solution FAQs, you just can't be expected to 100% it without doing that. Gimbal was probably just talking about Fez being bad on a base level and not worth beating once, though. :shrug:

spend your money on anything but fez and have a better time

throwing your money down a storm grate will produce more visceral emotion, and about equal confusion as to why you're doing what you're doing. then go loving play cave story or, idk, milon's secret castle

One thing I'll say for Fez as an entry in the artsy indie platformer w/ innovative puzzle twist genre is that it was at least genuinely nice to look at and listen to so for me that carried it for a whole 30 minutes before I got bored. Which compared to like Limbo or Thomas was Alone is an improvement of some 27 minutes.

Now prepare yourselves! You're the guests of honor at the Greatest Kung Fu Cannibal BBQ Ever!

Did the silly platforming. Had fun for a little bit. Then the little completionist devil on my shoulder tried to get me to start working on the puzzles. Did that for a few hours until I got pissed off at Fil Fish's dumb garbage and gave up in frustration. I am so sorry I actually paid money for this.
