Passpartout: The Starving Artist Reviews

In the end, I found it difficult to keep coming up with new ideas for artworks – and perhaps that’s another piece of commentary to take from the game; when artists are forced into endless creation loops by the necessities of commercial demand, it tends to be difficult to keep the creative drive high. Despite that, I never stopped finding Passpartout enjoyable, thanks to its lighthearted presentation and biting, yet amusing, sense of humour.

I do think it is a shame that the story built around this tool set doesn’t go any deeper. The game really guides from point A to B without you having a say in the matter. That isn’t the worst thing, but I do reckon it will put those looking for something deep off.

Passpartout does a decent job of replicating the frustrations and concerns of being a painter, but that does mean it’s purposefully difficult to tell what people want. I like that it gives you an excuse to indulge in some childish MS Paint creativity, but I’m finished with the art scene. These scum don’t deserve to gaze upon the Stretch Face.
