Wonderous Sense of Adventure
Fe is a short, beautiful experience that won't impede anyone from enjoying it. Its simplicity sometimes gets the better of it and it doesn't go many places, but it has boatloads of charm.

Critic Reviews for Fe
An earnest eco-platformer that is at once under and overcooked.
Fe is a short-lived platformer that still manages to outstay its welcome in some regards. Its platforming is okay but unimaginative, and its best ideas, like the tree jumping and singing affecting the world, remain underused. It can be a beautiful game at times, especially with regards to its music and audio design, but not so much so that it hides its rougher edges and undeveloped concepts.
All Fe's colour, charm and cute make it utterly recommendable despite its flaws.
Fe is neither a good platformer or a compelling puzzle experience, and its narrative inspires a disinterested shoulder shrug
Fe's ethereal world compels you to explore, but its adventure never builds to something greater.
It would've been easy for Fe to get lost in its potentially naval-gazing pretentiousness, and admittedly the overuse of post-processing as well as the story's disjointed ambiguity does lend a degree of disconnect, but Fe mostly does enough with its gameplay and world-building for this brief adventure to offer a satisfactory level of enjoyment.
Poignant and moving in both theme and execution, Fe is one of the most unique platformers on Nintendo Switch. Its platforming can be a little hit and miss, and its stealth feels a little too forgiving at times, but that doesn't stop its world and the unique vocal premise from bewitching you with a dark and Gothic Nordic fairytale. While it's not as groundbreaking as other dialogue-less games such as Journey, it's still one of the most intriguing worlds to explore on Switch, and proof Zoink Games is more than just a one joke pony.
