PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Through both visual and auditory queues, Zoink Games had their work cut out for them by making a wordless, interactive story play out as a 3D platformer using atmospheric presence to tell a tale. But with very, very few exceptions, they pull this off with near-perfect artistic grace.

It exists to tell a beautiful story with no words, and in this, it absolutely excels. The score to Fe is without comparison and that alone is worth playing the game. When you add to that the adorable Fe and the forest full of unique and mystical creatures, the singing mechanic and the gorgeous art style, it’s hard to imagine someone turning this game down, especially because it is nowhere near a standard full price.

Although there are certainly stumbling points, it’s the aspect of exploration that really makes Fe a memorable experience. There’s seemingly always something to do from stumbling upon ferocious animals that are hidden in a cave to figuring out how to get an upgrade shard. The game world that Zoink has crafted is truly wondrous, and learning to work together with its inhabitants is a truly rewarding experience. Sometimes we just need to learn how to understand each other.

Fe is going to stay with me for a long time...Though it rarely presents a challenge to the player and its opening half is arguably filled with its better ideas, these are minor flaws in an otherwise fantastic experience. I can't recommend Fe strongly enough.

Fe is a game that you want to get lost in. Even if you discard the beautiful visuals, the forest world has so many areas to explore that you'll enjoy wandering around aimlessly. Thankfully, the platforming and light puzzles are done well, so those who want some purpose have something to contend with, while the abstract storytelling will mesmerize others. Overall, Fe is an excellent game, especially for those who prefer exploration over violence.

A wonderfully atmospheric 3D platformer that you need to play right now. Go on, jump to it.

Fe is a little, wonderful game in an unforgettable and colorful forest. Unfortunately, when speaking of controls and mechanics, something's not quite right.

Fe is an absolutely stunning adventure, set in a wonderful open world that you'll be exploring together with many fancy creatures.

Fe takes a chance on an experience that is far from the classic concept of a videogame and has a clear focus on the player’s feelings. Smart, beautiful and well executed, it achieves its goal and makes us think about our own relationship with the environment.

Fe mixes tried and true gameplay mechanics with new ideas in interesting and beautiful ways.
