Maize is an game about what happens when two scientists misinterpret a message from the US government and end up creating sentient corn. Yes, Maize is about sentient corn, and that’s not the weirdest thing the game has in store for you, either. In order to advance the story, Maize requires players to explore its beautiful world, picking up items along the way and using them to solve puzzles.

For the most part, Maize’s presentation delivers, with rays of sunlight piercing through the glowing rows of corn. It helps to build an eerie atmosphere, one that compliments the game’s wacky story well. Unfortunately, Maize’s difficulty level is less consistent. Puzzles will go from being stupidly easy to fiercely difficult, which can be a tad frustrating.

If you’re willing to roll with the fluctuating difficulty of its puzzles, then you’ll have a good time with Maize. Its story is as intriguing as it is out there, and its presentation helps to bring the ludicrous tale to life.
