Fe Reviews
Fe is an emotional journey, a 3D platform/adventure that will make you discover many amazing places in order to free an ancient forest from the evil Silents. While the first part of the game can be frustrating due to the lack of hints and advices from the developers, once you'll get over the sense of confusion you will find in Fe a great adventure with some epic moments that you don't want to miss, no matter what.

Fe is a work of art. It's a tale of beauty and wonder and I thoroughly enjoyed discovering all this magical forest had to offer. It could have used a few more moments that were grand in scale like the colossal deer and I would have appreciated some help from the game in finding all the collectibles that I've missed, but I can wholeheartedly recommend it to players of any age.
Sure, it's beautiful — and after the end credits have rolled and you're free to explore the world, bereft of annoying puzzles, there's beauty and secrets to be found at every corner — but as an overall experience the unnecessarily obtuse world design and repetitiveness makes Fe stand out only for its frustrations, not its successes.
Fe feels like an experimental platformer trying to make an emotional statement. It leans heavily on the gimmick of using songs to interact with nature, but if you're not floored by this angle - there's not much else for you.
Fe has everything that you expect from a game like this: great atmosphere, beautiful environments, unusual design decisions. It's unfortunate that developers decided to approach a refreshing theme without a meaningful story.

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 short but enjoyable experience, but it never reaches the heights of other games that tackle similar interpretative game concepts. The platforming is hit-and-miss, the story is all right but not always emotionally engaging, and it's plagued with some frame rate stutters on the Switch. It's a treat for your eyes and ears throughout the five-hour story, and it features collectibles if you want to spend a few extra hours with Fe after the credits have rolled.
Fe is an artsy and clunky platformer that feels artsy for arts sake. The story is barely there, the movement isn't fun, and it is an all-around let down.
Fe is dreamy and looks the part but doesn't completely immerse one in its whimsical setting. It's a trip that's fairly painless but doesn't offer much more than a few amazing highlights.
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.
Fe is a cute platform that you won't remember.

In the end Fe certainly looks the part but doesn't quite have enough memorable moments or feeling of discovery to match its ambitious design.
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.
If you are looking for a decent, relatively short (4-6 hours) adventure game with a great art style, Fe will definitely scratch that itch. I just wish the platforming was tighter and more responsive.
Dreamy and magic, Fe's mysterious world feels pretty and imaginative on Switch, despite some frame rate drops in portable/table mode.

Fe is a decent platform adventure game with a beautiful art style, but its flaws are too obvious to ignore.

Fe is an enchanting game featuring dazzling artistic quality of the graphics, which is arguably its main thrust. The gameplay is not as impressive, but it is efficient and diverse enough to keep you entertained for a few hours.

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.
Fe is simple yet complex, stylised and engaging. A six-hour affair, it's perfect for those who found delight in Journey and, to a lesser degree, Ori and the Blind Forest. For others, it might be too much style over substance.
Fe is a true gem amongst adventure games. It's a wonderfully executed idea for a charming fantasy world.
