What Maize is
Maize is an adventure game developed by Finish Line Games and released in 2016. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows).
The premise, in the publisher's words
Channeling elements of Monty Python and the funnier episodes of the X-Files, Maize is an absurdist, first-person adventure with a cornucopia of highbrow puzzles to solve, talking oddities to meet, and mysteries to be harvested.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are comedy, mystery and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
How it was received
Maize holds a critic score of 71 out of 100. That places it above 41% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2016 averaged 68, so it scored 3 points above the year average.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Dual-core Intel or AMD, 2.0 GHz or higher, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 460 GTX | AMD Radeon 6870 HD series or higher. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 11GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Maize launched on 1 December 2016, within three weeks of Dishonored 2, Final Fantasy XV, The Last Guardian and Watch Dogs 2. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Dishonored 2, Final Fantasy XV, The Last Guardian, Watch Dogs 2.
