Don't let the "vanilla" name fool you. This hack is a great variety mix of levels that are anything but ordinary. While other hacks usually have some consistent themes, this hack combines levels from dozens of authors. It should be no surprise that the quality of levels varies dramatically and that many levels have very unique appearances, challenges, and even mechanics. Some of these mechanics could easily be fleshed out into their own worlds in other hacks. The reward for finding every exit is a set of extra levels that are simply amazing. That said, brace yourself for frustration if you aim to complete the game. Many levels have rough edges. A handful are obnoxiously harsh or too crazy. For instance, Variety Path stands out for its aggravating length and difficulty. It also took a maddening amount of trial and error to play through Fez 2. The rules against annoying levels should be stricter, even if that means rejecting levels that took noticeable effort to make. The quality of the music also varies. Some tracks became tiring after a while and I would find myself muting the game. Other tracks were great. Overall, this collaboration hack is certain to entertain, surprise, and occasionally frustrate. | |||
