That’s right - Phil Fish, who apparently got fed up by the biggies in the industry pushing him to a corner and cancelled fez 2 abruptly and quit. It’s a cool game, totally worth a play

It only creates more choice if publishers decide to sell their games on multiple platforms and storefronts. Epic are currently on a crusade to actively reduce choice for gamers, increase costs for gamers, and reduce competition.

They could have won the hearts & minds of everyone by a simple decison...so they are giving developers a bigger cut - great! So rather than buying an exclusive and selling a game for the same, £49.99 price (or whatever) as it would have been on Steam/GOG etc, why not use a small % of that extra money and sell it for £44.99 on epic vs the £49.99 price on steam. Many gamers, me included woudl then buy it through Epic instead...even a small 10% price difference adds up and is enough to swing my vote. Everyone wins, and we get a new competitor to the effective monopoly that Steam currently has.

Instead, they buy exclusives keeping the prices artificailly high, creating an even bigger problem then what we had before, and further fragmenting the PC market. In this situation *everyone* loses in the long term - gamers pay more for games, publishers lose longer term revenue due to upsetting a % of the community, and gamers have less choice over where to buy and store their game licences.

Supporting Epic in any way at the moment just compounds this problem and lets them think they can be successful with this strategy - trying to bribe gamers with free games (some of which are really good, like Fez) just gets them more installs of thier storefront and increases the chance you'll give in and support their anti competitive practices.

Sadly I know we're on a losing battle here - we had this problem wtih F2P and MIcrostransactions...a terrible menace for the gaming community, and the only way to avoid it was to not take part. Sadly millions of people decided that they were going to just pay the microtransactons anyway which only encourages more of that behaviour. We have ourselves to blame for that expensive problem and we will for this too if people keep singning up to Epic

Suppose one can sympathise with with him getting fed up, especially if you know how draining creative industries can be to creators. Handled it horribly though, from what I recall

Can’t argue with a free game though! Heat added!

Great indie game. I'm planning to play it again now.

Heat for free - I love the 2D/3D dynamic & the soundtrack on this game - well worth a play.
The later puzzles are diabolical and you will need a walkthrough to get 100% on the game.

The documentary "indie game - the movie" tracks the creation of this game and supermeatboy (among others), and it's fascinating watching what they go through.

15th Aug

It's a good game and well worth buying from another store - this one is worth your money, rather than advertising for Epic who are trying to turn the PC market into a console market full of exclusives without any consumer choice.

Don't download this for free - pay for it, support the developer through another store and support the industry.

It will be seen as a dupe because it is a dupe hotukdeals.com/dea…202‌ this one is a heads up for the next free game, which is fez

Bought this when it first came out based on hype/reviews. It's a really cool idea, looks/sounds great etc but I found it a chore to play - slow movement, platforming sections that take ages, especially when you're backtracking across multiple levels - the map is truly awful with no fast travel (well there wasn't when I played it) and the puzzles are absolutely ridiculous, with no hope of solving without a guide and even then, the logic is incredibly obtuse.

As a freebie, obviously a good deal and I've voted hot but I wanted to like this game a lot more than I did.

Great little game with some excellent ideas.

Is this controller only? I remember some puzzles requiring the pad to vibrate on the 360.

Absolutely, its actually in their interest to fix this or push the developers to do it for them. Trust me its super annoying for me too, coz I have a deal or two every few days deleted after having put in lot of effort in finding it, putting the details etc only to realise it was already there, but just didn't show up in the searches.

Superb game. One of my favourites, it's a great game to play and just enjoy without any other distractions.

The gameplay is slow because it forces you to savour the experience.

Plus the sheer amount of replayability is insane with all the extras and secrets. I swear people are still actively finding things over on Reddit. As a 2000s era platformer it is truly a masterpiece.

Epic Games are actively and aggressively pursuing exclusivity deals, rather than competing like everyone else. That's pretty much the definition of less choice and being locked into one storefront. It also removes any incentive for Steam, GOG etc to be improved as the only thing that'll matter is how much the store owner can pay for exclusivity rights.

great game and more there is a Netflix documentary called Indie Game The Movie about this game , its challenges. great story.

Thanks, but I'd rather pay £2 for a steam key than register on Epic store, and they know it hence the freebies.

regardless of its creator (whose shady dealings i had barely heard about til reading this thread), a fantastic innovative platform-puzzle hybrid which is a delight to play and challenging enough without being frustrating. well recommended - especially for free!
