Nitro Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 This will be a really easy plat. everything is basically story related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstream88 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Was kind of hoping it had a platinum, would've bought it either way I just hope it ends up being better than Aer- Memories of Old While I did like Aer, but only liked it enough to play through the game once doubt I'll ever play it again. list looks fairly easy though.

There's nothing wrong with releasing a smaller bite-sized game to appeal to old-school fans, but the trophy list should reflect the bite-sized nature, which Mania's list did.

They're definitely getting some money from these games. Either way, I don't care. I don't want any indies to even do business with EA. They're the antithesis of Indy development.

VKei_Vampire Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 This looks like a fun relaxing game like Journey. It's fun playing these types of games, especially after a big stressful day. And even if it ends up being an easy trophy game... does it really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to support a company like EA and I don't want indy devs to, either. I'm with you. EA already betrayed their indie developers back in the late 2000s; their model was so flawed that many investors said it was a fool's errand to buy into EA. I think the seeds for their current "evil empire" were sown then. EA is good at what EA does, which is releasing yearly installments of AAA games with very little change, and then milking the fans of those franchises. I care little for games like Madden, or FIFA, etc., but lots of people do, and EA is great for those people. But indies? Those are my kind of games, and I see very little that benefits me personally in this, and I'm unconvinced that, in any long term setting, the developers will see much profit. Maybe it's a decent idea for studios to publish one-offs with EA, while putting into their contract that they are still their own entity. Certainly, EA should provide a modicum of QC that has been absent in general indie development (I doubt that EA would publish something like Dragon Fin Soup, e.g.) However, I don't know if that model flies anymore. After all, that was the development model for years, prior to the Kickstarter "revolution". Large companies, however, seem to have gone back to the old "control everything" model of Nintendo back in the 80s, and I can't see how indie developers benefit from this in the long term. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Sony would deny any dev a Platinum trophy after My Name is Mayo, Mr. Massagy and even 36 Fragments of Midnight. Why any dev would choose not to have a Platinum trophy is beyond me since it would almost certainly earn them at least a few sales they might not have had otherwise.

In my opinion it doesn't need a Platinum, it's a very great game, maybe one of the best Sonic I ever player in the last 10 years, but with a Platinum (maybe easy) a lot of people will buy the game just for that.

As I have said, the decision is ultimately Sony’s. Every dev and every publisher wants a platinum. They can can apply for one, but sony is the one who has the final say.

Skadoki Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Trophy wise it's very easy and shouldn't take more than a few evenings. That being said, I found the game somewhat boring for 80% of the time. Dunno if that's true for anyone else but it was really hard to follow the story through helmets' cutscenes and hidden images on stones ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visighost Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) I was rather bored at the beginning, but I have to say putting on headphones tremendously improved the experience. The music and sound mix are very well adapted to the game, and manage to create a pretty convincing atmosphere. That last scene... I didn’t think the story was too confusing, though somehow unimportant. Not for everyone, sure, but if you enjoyed Journey, Abzu, Aer, or Rime, chances are you’ll love this as well.

diskdocx Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 So finally finished this game today, and I must say it was one of the least enjoyable gaming experiences I have had in a very long time. It's not that the game is bad per se, it is just devoid of fun. Especially when going for the platinum. If you just wanted a 3-4 hour experience for the 'story', then it is ok. But the collectibles are a nightmare. The camera is frustrating, controls clunky, and the upgrade to show the crystals doesn't come until you have already collected 2/3 of them. I realize there is a map, but some of the locations are poorly noted, and the descriptions are woefully inadequate. Add to this that the counter is ridiculously glitchy so half the time it is incorrect and you waste hours rechecking sections that are actually complete. And backtracking/navigating the map is an absolutely miserable experience. The graphics aren't bad and the sounds are minimalistic but good, otherwise I really have little positive to say about this game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Elvick_ Posted February 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2019 I platted it awhile back, but I was no fan. I went into it more on my plat post about it. But, the lighting legitimately hurt my eyes. It's such an ugly ass game. The lighting makes it look blurry and washed out. The art design itself is fine enough, but the lighting and bloom make it hideous beyond belief. The gameplay sucks until you unlock the running. Then things pick up a lot, but then you quickly get annoyed the game isn't over yet. And they reward you with flying after you've found everything. Wow. How useful. What a reward. It's not like you can start the game over with your abilities intact. So I guess the only thing they expect you to do is just run around for the sake of it? But the game isn't even fun to move around in. So why? It had potential, but failed to reach it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizimonster Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The contrast color changes between areas could hurt your eyes. Gameplay is okay-ish, but the worst part comes when collecting the crystals in order to unlock every ability. Get it for cheap if you don't have anything else to play.

Beast_1985 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 This game was so boring I even barely finished it. Average story, clumsy gameplay, poor gamedesign and overall really not fun game, like at all. Pretty much missing 5-6 hrs of my life, complete waste of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselmanchild Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It’s a shame hearing how so many people disliked this game. I finished it yesterday and absolutely loved it! It’s not perfect by any means, and it’s true that the platinum is a bit of a collectathon. Getting all 75 crystals can be a little frustrating due to how well hidden some of them are, and how confusing it can be trying to navigate the map and backtrack to previous areas. But overall, I found Fe to be an incredibly beautiful and relaxing experience. I have to say, playing this game with headphones is an absolute must. I never usually play games with headphones, but used them from the start thanks to @visighost’s comment above. And boy, what a huge difference it makes! The sound design in this game is very good and really brings the forest and all it’s creatures to life in a big way. Not to mention the music is sublime and really enhances the experience. I’m a big fan of these kinds of artsy, relaxing games like Journey, RiME, Aer, Sea of Solitude etc, and Fe totally nails the same feeling and aesthetic. A bit of an underrated gem of this genre, in my opinion. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky_RykerXD Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 An underrated gem. I liked it so much, it put the devs on my radar. Can't wait for Lost in Random from Zoink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowMoyoo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Currently having a horrible experience with this game, camera and controls are bad, the graphics makes everything hard to see (at least for me) and its so buggy. Im stuck in the swamp where I have to sing to an antler worm to take me out but Im unable to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
