Oobedoob S Benubi Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I just stumbled across this on PSN. Seems like a fun game and it's getting some good reviews, what's the consensus over here? I'm mainly afraid that the puzzle platformer gimmick this game uses will get old quickly, like the dimension swapping in Super Paper Mario.

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Shameless review plug answer: https://videochums.com/review/four-sided-fantasy Well, if you've written a review anyway it's easier to link to your opinion than to rehash for the sake of having a "true" post It gave me some good aditional insights into the game, thanks. I've read some other stuff online meanwhile and I'll buy this eventually. My backlog is still big enough for me to be busy with other stuff for the moment. I was hoping for this to be a great experience like Fez, but alas.no reviews seem to point that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's an OK game, but nothing I'd recommend buying. Its aesthetics and music are nice, but it's very short and a bit buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsmantis Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) I've only finished the first world. So far it's a neat mechanic, but I find that most of the time I'm doing a lot of trial and error attempts rather than sitting and thinking / figuring the puzzles out properly. It's also extremely finicky at times, where you need to make sure the screen is frozen in just the right place with split-second precision timing, so there's a lot of unnecessary deaths. This is coming off having just completed Hue though, which was a game with a mechanic that was simply and beautifully executed, so my thoughts may be skewed.

Oobedoob S Benubi Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 It's on sale now for €3... Wow. Definitely a price I'd buy it for, now I'm just thinking if I should get it or first focus on my backlog some more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) You know what? Fuck it, I'm buying the game. There's way too few people on here that have it for the reviews it's been getting, I like sponsoring a platformer with a twist and it's only €3, that's nothing in the grand scheme of things seeing as I'm going to drop €20 on Snipperclips.

I've got a good tolerance for finnicky platformers and I like figuring out puzzles, so I'll probably be fine. Hue is on my wish list as well but at this point my backlog is still much too big to drop €15 on such a short game. If it would go for €5 then sure, count me in but I'm trying to buy less.

Did manage to get the two trophies related to screen locks / warps? It seems to be glitched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty_Otter Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I bought it and have been enjoying it. It's a pretty unique puzzle game and the graphics are pretty. I can see the screen warp and pausing trophies being tough, because you really need to pause the game at almost a perfect time for some of them and the guide says you cant make very many mistakes. I just beat world 1 - took about a half hour. Looking to attempt the 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
