Maize

(micro-review)

Genre: Adventure, Comedy;

Release date: 01-Dec-2016 ;

Overview:

Maize is a first-person adventure game about what happens when two scientists misinterpret a memo from the U.S. Government and create sentient corn. And that last sentence is pretty much the least ridiculous thing about the game.

Explore an abandoned farm and a not-so-abandoned underground research facility as you uncover the mysteries around Maize, and possibly learn a bit about yourself along the way. Or maybe not.

With a colourful cast of characters and an absolutely absurd world, Maize offers up a unique experience that keeps the surprises coming. Seriously, they’re everywhere.

Features:

Immerse yourself and explore Maize’s fully-realized environment,featuring a cornucopia of areas to explore (see what we did there?)

Solve environmental puzzles that get more and more absurd the further you delve into the adventure

Uncover the secrets of Maize’s world, as you try and figure out what it is the corn really want, aside from a very good nap

Meet some friends and enemies along the way, which include a very small grumpy Russian robot bear and an unhinged corn stalk who’s a bit of a jerk

This is a silly adventure game, in which the emphasis is on story rather than puzzles. So expect a walking simulator with lots of jokes (many with the same theme). Maize treads a fine line between being boring and funny but it manages somehow to keep you playing. The FOV is very small and it can make finding items a bit difficult.

Rating: Corny but not really aMAIZEing.

Recommendation: Overall an OK game with which I had fun.
