Summertime Madness PC Game 2021 review:
Whimsical stream of consciousness puzzles, the game is limited to 6 hours for normal difficulty, and 3 hours for high difficulty
An exquisite, artistic surreal first-person puzzle sketch. The most eye-catching thing about the game is naturally the style of painting. The bright and light style is not like oil painting but like watercolor. The surreal scenes in the game are full of tributes to the painters the tributes I can see are Dali, Van Gogh, René, and Escher.
Pros of Summertime Madness:
- Vincent would be proud. The low poly look of the game reminds me of The Witness. The way the wind blows through the grass is beautiful and overall the art design is one of the game’s greatest wins. Things look real but only quite real enough to be in a painting. If you want to really go all-in on the painterly graphics you can use the slider to max it out and really take a stroll through a van Gogh.
- The hills are alive with the sound of madness.
- The music of the game and the accompanying sounds have really been a top priority. I have always maintained how music and ambient sound can make or break a game experience and here the aural experience works really well.
- paint me a puzzle. Overall the puzzles in the game are a dash of everything. There is some exploration to do, levers to pull, and things to rotate. But there are also some really hard order of operation puzzles and thinking way out of the box to do too. There is no real theme to the puzzles (like for instance in Portal or The Witness) and it’s rather like a mashup of a bunch of different types of puzzles.
