Fez: A Timeless Puzzler!

Hello Friends!

This past month I have been playing a lot of PS4 and PS Vita! I wanted to pause on writing for a while to soak in some new gaming experiences and I'm excited to talk with everyone today about Fez. 

This game is a sophisticated puzzler that involves 3 dimensions in a 2- dimensional world. It's challenging but simple and the game mechanics are easy to figure out.

You play as small little cutie named Gomez. Gomez is just your average little.. guy but he doesn't have anything special about him - until he meets the Hexahedron. Gomez is then given a fez, and a grand task to save the universe! Collect all 32 cubes to reconstruct the Hexahedron by collecting Bits!

One of the coolest things about this game is the "shifting". You stand on a 2-D platform where you can move up, down, right, or left. But, by using the left/right trigger you can change perspectives and view the world from a different angle - giving you more potential routes to take. Again, this game is mind-bending, fun, brilliant, and gorgeous.

Fez utilizes its very unique gameplay style with beautiful 16-bit artwork perfectly in tandem. While this game is available on many different platforms it definitely thrives on the Vita. The Vita is the perfect console for it because of its portability and controls. It just feels so right!

If you want to give it a shot but you bought it on the PS3 or PS4? Never fear - cross buy is here! This game is available on all three devices and can be easily accessed through the PlayStation website.

I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a complicated puzzler. The game starts off easy, giving the player a chance to get the feel of it and then throws you into a difficult world with many routes to take. Don't take this game lightly because it is not for the weak-minded or easily frustrated. Patience is important!

Please give this game a try and I promise you won't regret it. Thanks for reading!

Destiny Alpha: First Look!

Hello friends!

So last week Bungie released the alpha for Destiny and I got to play quite a bit. Here's a quick little review!

I should preface by saying that I am not a huge FPS gamer. Most of these games are uninteresting to me and so I generally stay away from them. Destiny though got me to consider it a little and I was still on the fence about it but the alpha totally changed my perspective.

You're dropped into a planet with small clusters of enemies and Peter Dinklage narrating. The controls are similar to COD but the feel of the game is definitely closer to Halo - which makes sense. It is not in any way just a skewed Halo remake. The game does have a very unique style.

Something that I really enjoyed about the game is that it plays sort of like an MMO. Your character has a level and levels up as you kill enemies. You can pick up money and gear, do quests, and customize your character to be uniquely your own. Likewise enemies have their own levels and it effects your ability to kill them as well as the experience you gain from them.

The game also sports a multiplayer pvp area called The Crucible. At first I was skeptical because of the differences there would be among levels of players but the game surprised me! The level of your character does not effect the matches. So a level 10 character against a bunch of level 5 characters wouldn't have a dramatic impact on the match.

The visuals of the game are great!! I just recently got my PS4 and have been very impressed with all of the graphics and look of the games I've been playing but staring off into the city and being able to see very minute details clearly took my breath away.

Overall, if you weren't able to play the alpha and you are on the fence, pre-order the game now and get your beta code so you can try it on the 17th. It's definitely a fun game and if you're not interested in the pvp - it's optional so don't knock it till you try it!
