It’s that sort of depth that makes Fe’s story so affecting, even if it seems quite straightforward and even predictable on the surface. I saw every twist from a mile out, and yet I never felt like the story suffered as a result. Rather, Fe is a fairy tale: the sort of story that finds charm in its simplicity and familiarity, but has a lot to say to anyone willing to dig beneath the surface. In that, it’s a resounding success.

“Fe is a fantastically gorgeous game that invites you to get lost and discover life.”

Fe is an enjoyable puzzle platformer with an adorable protagonist. The camerawork and murky narratives could both be improved, but neither prevents this from being a fun, forest adventure.

Like Unravel before it, Fe is another triumph for the EA Originals program as Zoink don't hesitate to flex their creative muscle. Despite a few foibles, the core mechanics are sound enough. Though it's in its world-building and artistic direction that Fe truly shines, with a spacious map that sparks the kindling of exploration and ignites that love for adventure.

Zoink Games' Fe may be occasionally rough around the edges and gameplay derivative, but failure to look beyond that is missing the forest for the trees. The exquisite audio direction and artstyle help build on a world to create mystique across the board. Even better, a hands-off approach to gameplay allows those willing to invest the time an avenue to organically explore and fix the broken world left behind.

Fe is a beautifully ethereal game that, despite its flaws with plot comprehension and spatial organization, is a pleasure to play. If you're fine with wandering, and don't mind the feeling of being swept along on a journey rather than pioneering the journey yourself, then the weak points of this game will seem a lot less weak.

Fe is all very lovely and (literally) harmonious, with fun layers of platforming. Coloured flowers and singing is a nice enough way to spend a rainy afternoon.

We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.

At its heart, Fe is a personal narrative about our relationship with nature, the land, and its beings.

Fe features a unique and beautiful art style, some charming characters and a focus on sound. While the style and sound certainly impress, let’s see how the re

Fe is the latest project from the Swedish studio Zoink! Games, and is a wide departure from its previous work. Swapping out quirky, comical adventure games like Stick it to the Man for something more straight faced, the developer's experiment is a decent effort, but unfortunately falls short of greatness.

An adorable looking platformer that took our collective breath away when it was first revealed, Fe comes to us from the EA Originals line that previously featured another adorable looking platformer in Unravel a couple of years ago. Fe hits similar notes of whimsy, with a completely unique art direction and a hero that is super cute. While it does hit those comfortable beats, there are some elements that aren’t as refined as its concept, and for the most part the things that make me love F...
