I really enjoyed Maize, perhaps more than I should have. I was expecting the game to be absurd to the point where it made no sense, but in reality I found the story cohesive. Completely out there with a Russian teddy bear and walking, talking corn stalks, but still cohesive. As a big fan of Portal, this has obvious similarities to it, what with it being a humorous first-person puzzler.

A comedic and utterly bizarre adventure game backed with passion and love for the genre and the craft, with some important options missing letting down a near perfect game.

Maize is a few hour journey depending on your ability to move through the environment and a great time. It's got a charming story full of odd turns and a plot you'd never expect.

Even though the game basically pulls you from one remarkable situation to the next, that is kind of the point, and I really enjoyed my time with Maize. It has that self-aware LucasArts ridiculousness that is wonderfully endearing, and seeing as we’re currently lacking in adventure games, Maize is a welcome breath of fresh air. I do believe that it is tough to make a game like this funny and engaging, but despite its few flaws Maize succeeds with flair, and certainly made me laugh and smile at its interesting locations and well-written, absurdly hilarious story.
