I know this game is a couple years old now from its original Xbox Live Arcade release and subsequent PC version but I only just got around to it after I got a PS4 in May and have been going back and forth with it from PS4 to Vita (cross-save is like, the greatest!).

I "finished" it just over a week ago. Finished as in beat it once I guess you could say, and now I'm onto new game plus where Gomez is bestowed with some nifty shades allowing him to view the world from a first person perspective (how much work went into this game??? my goodness). I'm very proud of not having referred to any guides throughout, and even happening upon solutions to some of the crazier puzzles, a few by accident and a few by hard deduction.

I have 31 golden cubes and 7 of 8 fragments for the 32nd and final golden cube. I think I have 6 anti-cubes. 7 of 9 treasure maps, 3 of 4 artifacts and I believe that covers everything.

I'm at a point where I'm mostly stumped on almost everything left there is to uncover. I solved one of the treasure maps (very satisfying) and have sort of deciphered another puzzle that involves 4 of the treasure maps but I can't figure out the solution yet.

I've been tempted to resort to some guides for help but then I figure what's the point, they'll probably just tell me what buttons to push to win and that's not fun to me. I just wanted to see if anyone here had played or is still playing Fez, because I would much rather collaborate than simply look up answers.

 

Side note: I love, love, love this game so much. It's the first game since Dark Souls really that I've been content to let sit on my TV for hours while I barely make any progress and just contemplate things. I probably haven't put as much time into it as I have Dark Souls II but at the moment it's got my game of the year vote.

I've also heard that a lot of people (the internet?) hate the guy who made the game because he's a dick, etc., but I'd rather not discuss that since I don't care about the guy who made the game; I just care about the game itself.

I will end with posting one of my favourite pieces from the soundtrack which I also love. Very moody electronic, evokes Boards of Canada and Vangelis to me at least.

I've heard nothing but positive things about Fez the game.  The couple of reviews I read remarked on what a unique and interesting game world it was with some cool mechanics of interacting with the world to solve the puzzles.  It is on my steam 'to buy' list at some point.  There just are too many worthy games to experience!  Sounds like you've really made some awesome progress though on unlocking all the secrets.  Kudos to you, and I wish you luck on figuring out the rest.

It's wonderful, lakerz, I'd recommend it to anyone. If you're in the mood for a meditative puzzle-platformer (there are no enemies) then Fez is the game.

I've played a fair amount of this game on Steam but am nowhere near completion.  I guess I got distracted by other stuff.  I do adore the music.

I spent a lot of time watching this over the weekend despite not understanding much of what they were saying, then more reading up on the game and some of the tactics. Valve have themselves the second biggest multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) style game after Starcraft 2
