If Code Cracker and Happy Tree Friends smoked weed and had a baby, it would be this game.

I've literally made all my friends buy this game.

If Don't Starve and Plantera fell in love and had a baby, this game would be their child.

Simple. Cute. Short.

It's everything I hate.

And I loved it.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing in this game. All I am doing is pressing buttons and wiggling spinning things around and somehow made a pretty mountain which I turned into an AIDS-infested white blood cell then transformed to Death Valley.

Nope. Still hate it.

A lot of the negative reviews in particular are, at their core, simply giving the game a bad rating because "it's too hard." Which is absolutely ridiculous. Not because the game isn't difficult, it is, but that's exactly the point of it. It's supposed to be a challenge and make you more observant.

Now that I've cleared up that little rant, here we go...

FEIST is a visually and audibly stunning game. From the screenshots and trailer, that goes without needing to be said while the soundtrack I wouldn't think twice about recommedning to purchase as well. Often I hear the that people generally think this game is similar to LIMBO which couldn't be further from the case. LIMBO is much more puzzle-driven while FEIST has a more survival-driven direction.

The entire feel of this game is very primal in order to make you feel like you are actually an animal combatting other animals. You use your surroundings, enviornment, and even your own enemies to defeat your other enemies. As previously stated, the game is challenging and doesn't give you a set healthbar and instead you see your current health based on how tattered your creature looks--the more clean your fur is, the more health you have, the more ratty you are, well, you get the idea. And there are constant checkpoints throughout the game, but if you need those defined out for you that's just being lazy. At its core FEIST is a platformer, but at its heart FEIST is a game about survival. So why would you take that away by making everything so simple? You wouldn't.

The AI in this game is well designed, particularly the larger boss creatures. They aim not only at you, but at where you are possibly heading. If a creature of a different type is nearby, they will attack it. A key thing to remember is that everything damages everyone. Dodging and having your enemies kill each other off is primitive.

If you're looking for a challenging and rewarding game with need for a high combat skill cap, FEIST is a must grab. But if you're more of a casual gamer and want something easier to play, pick this up anyway and learn to play. :^} Or at least buy it for the soundtrack so you can chill.

This game almost made me feel emotions, and I'm dead inside.
