10 Genius Hidden Mechanics In Video Games
6. Flying In New Game+ - Fez
Fez is one of the most ingenious platformers of the last decade, but did you know that it contains a secret mechanic that allows protagonist Gomez to fly? Yup.
Once you beat the game and start a New Game+, you'll be able to take flight after pressing Up four times and then the jump button once.
When videos of Gomez flying first materialised online, word spread that this was a glitch or some sort of custom mod, but indeed, it's an official mechanic surreptitiously included in the game.
Naturally the power of flight is an incredibly useful one for anyone who's already beaten the game once, to navigate the world at a massive advantage without the pesky limitations of gravity.
A select few players have found the feature by total lucky accident, but let's be honest, most everyone just read about it online.
