We find out in our review of Passpartout: The Starving Artist. However, is it in fact this game that struggles to make an impression. This game aims to offer players a window into the subjective world of art and its struggling artists. This game plays like other art related games such as Concrete Genie, The Unfinished Swan, Okami but also has a tycoon style approach much like games such as Planet Coaster, Adventure Capitalist and Game Dev Story. A game that has no right to exist due to it’s niche and peculiar subject matter. Passpartout: The Starving Artist is a prime example of this. However, this is where all the best mechanics and ideas are born. Chances are that this game won’t have the same production value, refinement or appeal that a AAA game will. If you are looking for a game that can offer you something that just about any other can’t, then you need to play an indie game. Still, making a “work of art” is fun and there is just something very addictive about it. So, if you make a mistake, tough luck! Also, there is no way to zoom in so you can add in finer details. You have to be careful as there is no “undo” button. While the painting mechanics are very easy to get the hang of. However, if you have used MS Paint, you will have a decent enough idea of what to expect here. I am not sure anyone is going to be creating masterpieces here. The actual painting aspect of the game is very easy to get the hang of. This aspect of the game I feel could have been done just a tad better as the progression is not as much as I personally would have liked. Passpartout: The Starving Artist sees you want to move beyond being a starving artist who only deals with jerk clients and who lives in a rundown apartment to something more. Sometimes, changing the name of your painting can help it sell other times you have to just say you messed up and throw it in the trash. You have to actually try, you just screw around and make a mess, your painting will not sell! The actual art creation tools are rather basic, but that is the point. However, to do things like this you need to create art and then sell it. You have to pay rent, supplies and of course, get wine. This Passpartout: The Starving Artist review is based on a Nintendo Switch copy provided by Flamebait.The “gameplay” of the game is about you trying to get by as an artist. If you want a quirky and charming game for the Nintendo Switch in which you take on the role of a starving artist, then this is exactly what you need! It’s not a very challenging game, and there’s no online or local multiplayer, so it’ll probably be best for the “Me Time†section of your gaming collection. If you’re looking for a game to de-stress with, then this is exactly what you need. Passpartout: The Starving Artist is definitely a good catch for those of you looking for a casual and relaxing experience. The setting, music and artistic freedom open the door to an immersive, yet entertaining and comical adventure to enjoy on your own during a quiet evening. The experience of playing Passpartout: The Starving Artist sets you in some sort of trance, and you can just let yourself get carried away by, maybe even being the artist you never thought you could be. But what path will you follow? Depending on your paintings and the type of people they please, you can unlock different segments and endings in your playthrough, laying the foundation for some extra replay value. You also have to sell the paintings, and let me tell you, the business is tough! You start with limited tools and the ever criticizing view of punks, old people, hipsters and people that may have a different artistic view than you, which might become a problem as the weekend approaches and your bills start to slowly deplete your savings.īut all is not lost, as your ability is bound to be recognized by someone with a truly artistic eye, and after much work, painting, and baguettes, you can find yourself going up in the status quo of the artistic society. Of course, there would be no fun if you just could doodle your life away and call it a day. But there’s a certain Je ne se quoi in just going in and painting with your fingers on the touchscreen – it brings out some of the artistic instinct from you, and you can go on and on doodling around whatever your heart envisions in that canvas. But oh the joy of making those paintings! You can use the Nintendo Switch analog sticks and buttons to paint, and the HUD is very well designed for that, allowing a lot of freedom while you work on your masterpiece. The gameplay mechanics are simple to understand. Have you ever felt the need to experience the life of an artist working on the Parisian streets, as you try to sell your paintings to the world in order to sustain your worrying addiction to wine and baguettes? Well, look no further because Passpartout: The Starving Artist from Flamebait AB will definitely scratch that itch!
