    Fe needs to grow on you. You won't get any help, really 100% adventure - you have to explore, learn, watch and most important LISTEN! Fe is a small fantasy animal, cute and charming. The more you learn and understand, the more the world/game opens up!

    Fe isn't for those gamers that like "action" - Fe is a relaxing, exploring/adventuring game, enjoying the sounds, creatures and so on.
    My opion is that the critics a bit to hard on the game. Zoink! studios made a little fantasy gem but gets punished of the legacy from EA.    … Expand

    Beautiful art direction and soothing music make it a great game to unwind after a long day. Gameplay is fun and some puzzles can be challanging if you're going after all collectable crystals and other secrets. Fe's open world offers lots to discover in every location which makes the exploration aspect fun and rewarding.

    Loved the unique way the story was unfolded and how it worked so well with core gameplay mechanics.

    The only downside is Switch optimization - in busy areas the frame rate drop was noticeable, at least in the handheld mode. That's the only negative thing I've found about this game.

    Having said that, basically everything about this game is charming - 9/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A EA é uma empresa sábia. Ao notar que diversas outras companhias estão lançando jogos plataforma 3D (Super Lucky’s Tale, Yooka Laylee, e o retorno de Banjo-Kazooie), acabou criando uma parceria com a Zoink! para desenvolver mais um título da EA Originals. Muito fofinho e carismático, FE chega aos consoles utilizando um pouco da fórmula dos platformers do anos 90, manifestando de imediato o ‘feeling’ desse gênero bastante cultuado com cenários bem bonitos, cores bem chamativas, usando tons de azul, roxo, lilás e rosa, dando ao jogo um visual totalmente diferente e que aguçará o sexto sentido do jogador.

    FE não é um título para muitos, pois mesmo que o gênero seja cultuadíssimo, poucos envolvem puzzles a serem resolvidos e, aqui, o contato com a natureza ao redor lhe proporcionará muitas vantagens, mas as desvantagens sempre estarão ao lado de quem odeia puzzles. Em Super Lucky’s Tale, por exemplo, não precisávamos pensar no que fazer para subir numa árvore, enquanto neste, as habilidades vão sendo desbloqueadas e, de início, você nem sabe que seu personagem tem tanto essa habilidade quanto de plainar, voar, entre outras mais. Com o passar do tempo, vamos descobrindo essas proezas de FE (o nome do nosso protagonista?).

    No que tange a narrativa, ela é simples e apenas lhe dispõe a possibilidade de entender que temos apenas que interagir com a natureza para conseguirmos o que queremos (o que não é muito claro no começo). Nosso personagem terá apenas como propósito procurar os segredos da floresta, interagindo com os animais através do seu canto. Assim, nossa função é entender a razão de misteriosas máquinas estarem atacando os animais que partilham da mesma natureza que FE. Além da natureza, existem outros seres conhecidos como Os Silenciosos, que se você não tomar cuidado, poderá ser aprisionado e terá de recomeçar o jogo do último save isso se conseguir, pois nesse quesito o jogo é frustrante. Em alguns casos, caímos de certos locais. Nosso protagonista fofinho ‘morreu’ e tivemos que voltar lá de trás. Tudo que concluímos é que nossa meta envolve salvar as criaturas aprisionadas pelos Silenciosos, e é sobretudo apresentada por memórias e pinturas rupestres.

    A Zoink criou um jogo que encanta pelo visual, mas que deixa a desejar em pontos cruciais. Para conseguirmos um simples diamante lilás que está em uma parte do mapa, é necessário ter muita paciência para conseguir chegar em determinadas plataformas e, como dito anteriormente, não há mapa que o ajudará. Essa narrativa sem palavras e um visual todo elaborado conquistarão o jogador, mas confesso que fiquei irritadíssimo com o resultado da câmera, por exemplo, tanto quanto alguns elementos básicos da jogabilidade. É preciso explorar diferentes mundos e ajudar vários personagens carismáticos para ganhar sua confiança, assim o jogador dominará os movimentos de alguns personagens no decorrer da jogatina e, consequentemente, explorar ao máximo os segredos dessas áreas. Movimentos essenciais são ensinados no início, em uma espécie de tutorial que apresenta algumas funcionalidades do personagem, pois certas áreas exigem movimentos específicos que só são obtidos conforme se avança na aventura.

    É incrível a quantidade e variedade de habilidades que podemos acumular simultaneamente para nosso encantador protagonista ao longo da campanha. O relacionamento entre os animais é extremamente fofo e funciona de maneira bastante crível, revelando assim alguns objetos inalcançáveis que antes não estavam.

    O jogo tem apenas duas mecânicas: ou seu personagem estará cantarolando para a natureza e interagindo com ela, ou terá de saltar para chegar ao local desejado. Diferentes animais exigem cantos diferentes. Apesar de belo num todo, o game acaba caindo logo na repetição e ficamos frustrados com isso.

    A trilha sonora de FE é outra característica que consegue juntar de forma interessante elementos que darão nervoso. O jogo possui uma linguagem incompreensível para todos os jogadores e mostra a ausência de legendas durante quase todo nosso percurso.

    O VEREDITO

    Com aproximadamente 10 horas de gameplay, se considerarem os colecionáveis, FE é um jogo até curto, mas que o pouco que tem de jogabilidade, poderá frustrar alguns jogadores pela falta de opção, gerando uma frustração quando o assunto é repetição. Se você curtiu Journey, certamente amará este título e, apesar de ser um jogo excelente, possui falhas que poderão desmotivar alguns jogadores. Ainda assim, é altamente recomendável pela ideia de lidar com a natureza, cantar para ela e se envolver com tudo que o game proporciona.    … Expand

    "Fe" is a game I didn't learn much about until a few months ago at a Nintendo Direct Mini for the Switch. Though I had heard of the game before, I had no idea what it would be like.

Though I had heard of the game before, I had no idea what it would be like. After seeing footage of it during the Direct and finding out that it was a beautifully-designed 3D platformer with musical aspects and a fox as the main character, I thought this was something I really had to get. Even as someone that doesn't really care much for EA's output, I had to see what the game was like, and I walked away having loved it.
    "Fe," as I said earlier, is an absolutely beautiful game: the score, the visual design, the art direction, you name it, this game looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous. As I was playing it, I was so enamored of the beautiful art design that even slower parts of the game were so beautiful to witness. The game itself also plays wonderfully; even as a game that tells you absolutely nothing other than basic controls (there's no dialogue whatsoever), it's a game that's easy to get into, and you won't find yourself getting lost or wondering "what do I do next?" And even as a game that tells you nothing, I felt like the story and characters were so captivating, and I found myself connecting with Fe, the main character, and always wanting to find out new things about the Silent Ones and their connections to Fe. Everything about the game just sucked me right in, and I didn't want to put it down.
    I will point out that, much like "RiME," which I reviewed last year, this game isn't for everyone: while the platforming and action-adventure elements are easy to get into, the game takes a very hands-off approach and tells you absolutely nothing, which could be a turn-off for some. For me, however, I was so in love with everything the game had to offer that I thought it was such a brilliant experience. "Fe" is a game you should absolutely play, and I think EA deserves a shoutout for not finding some way to massively screw this one up. It's a wonder to behold, and it's absolutely worth your time.

    Fe is a very lovely-looking game and somewhat feels like a good 3D equivalent of Ori. The only thing I can criticize, however, is its technical performance, what with the 30 FPS (instead of the much-preferred 60 FPS) and small, but occasional pauses (like a brief lock-up, except it never actually crashed). If the developers were to fix these issues, that'll be great!

So when I first saw Fe I saw everything that amazed people but with one thing that made it light years better: FUN. Fe for someone who grew up on 3D platformers is a blast. It's got some really solid platforming and the controls are pretty good. The game oozes with charm, every creature you befriend in the game just feel alive. The use of colors is awesome, letting you know whether the area is dangerous or safe. The story was decent up until the end. The ending to be honest was a letdown since when the credits start rolling you're stuck sitting there wondering, "wait, it's over?" The game does lack some polish and it's bad enough to were you are reminded that it's still a indie game. The game does have a lot of charm, but it doesn't excuse the frame stuttering and bugs that plague this game. HOWEVER, things like bugs can be easily patched so some polish may be applied later down the line and hopefully the frame-rate on the switch version will be stabilized.… Expand

    Fe is, simply put, beautiful. The music and everything else create a really immersive experience. The game is a little bit short so I'd recommend only buying it for less than 20€, but it's a really good experience

    Despite being one-note on a gameplay level, Fe's world, with its lush environments and wistful score, compels you to explore. Establishing fleeting connections with the creatures around you is both charming and a little sad, and learning the truth about the enemy machines is even more tragic. By the end, the most important thing you've learned is how to connect with nature, not just by singing with animals but by understanding the world around you.

    It doesn't matter how clever or interesting your idea is, or how stunning and vibrant your game looks when it's just no fun to play. Perseverance with Fe could ultimately yield some satisfaction but for me it was just too boring.
