"Mr. Maze" ist ein Labyrinth-Spiel in First-Person Perspektive. Als Vater einer kleinen Familie wollen wir unserer Tochter ein wenig Abwechslung bieten und fahren zu einem temporär aufgebauten Labyrinth wie man es in etwa auch auf einem Jahrmarkt finden könnte. Die Frau freut sich, daß Mann und Tochter einige Zeit aufgeräumt sind, kündigt an uns wieder abzuholen und fährt mit der Familienkutsche davon. Also den Eintritt entrichtet und auf mit der Teenage-Tochter ins Labyrinth. Dummerweise aber ist dies kein gewöhnliches Labyrinth, denn es ist auch ein Dimensions-Tor in eine Welt voller Labyrinthe, in der der Mage-Meister (sic!) das sagen hat. Dieser entführt die Tochter und wir müssen uns auf den Weg machen, sie zu retten.... Meist spielen wir den Vater, in einer Sequenz allerdings auch die Tochter. In jedem Abschnitt ist unsere Hauptaufgabe meist durch ein Labyrinth zu finden und bestimmte Schreine zu aktivieren, wodurch Mauern und Wände geöffnet werden können. Dazu finden wir noch lesbare Notizbücher und Erinnerungs-Stelen, die akustisch Erlebnisse aller möglichen Figuren abspielen. Eigentlich sollte man dieses Spiel nicht mögen. Der Ersteindruck ist sehr ernüchternd. Die Grafik ist grottig, die geloopten Animationen lächerlich und das ganze Setting mehr als fragwürdig. Der Eindruck eines schnell hingeworfenen billigen und talentlosen Indie-Projektes stellt sich ein. Und diese Aspekte sind ohne Frage vorhanden und kaum wegzudiskutieren. Nach einiger Zeit in diversen Labyrinthen merkt man allerdings auch, daß einiges an Kreativität und Detailverliebtheit in dieses Projekt geflossen ist. Die Schauplätze sind abwechslungsreich und teils durchaus unterhaltsam. Es gibt Zwischensequenzen und fast jede Interaktion ist vertont. Und die englischen Sprecher sind ambitioniert, nicht immer mit Talent gesegnet, aber ambitioniert. Die Labyrinthe und Irrgärten sind meist relativ simpel und leicht zu meistern. Nur in einigen größeren wie dem Castle Craven kann man sich verlaufen. Manche Passagen sind sogar völlig linear und bieten gar keine alternative Wegmöglichkeit. Dadurch ist man allerdings auch selten frustriert, sondern hat immer das Gefühl, voranzukommen. Aus irgendeinem Grund weiß das Spiel, trotz aller offenkundigen Schwächen, zu unterhalten.

This is the best "so bad it's good" game I've ever played. It's the video game version of realising a few chapters into a book that you absolutely hate the Author's writing but you NEED to know how it ends or it will haunt you for the rest of your life. It's redeemable because I could share the insanity with my friends while streaming it and I suggest anyone who wants to try this game to do the same thing. I commend the dev for being able to pull something so uniquely entertaining yet mediocre together.
I don't know why I bought this game it looked bizarre and I thought I could laugh at it the whole time but no it has some major issues. It runs like garbage even on the lowest settings the fps is just awful and it's really boring.
I love mazes
Let's not mince words here: The beginning gives your promises of laughs and weirdness, but the Maze Meister gets lazy from level 2 onward. This game sucks. Watch a youtube video, spare yourself walking in a circle to press enter for 6 hours.
Unskippable cutscenes, overperformed voice acting, very slow movement in a game about completing mazes and all the backtracking that implies, ill-fitting stock unity assets, uncanny animation, on-the-nose references to other games, movies and people. This game is a menagerie of all the worst things on offer in gaming. It should be played with the intention of experiencing a bad game if at all. It would make for a great hilarious experience with friends, but if you're interested in playing a fun, quality game about solving mazes, this is not it.
Even if I got frustrated a few times getting lost, yeah it is a maze game after all, really enjoyed the game. It's its own thing and has a unique personality. I'll keep following what the creator does. Good stuff. Would recommend.
Let me just start by saying that this game doesn't really run on my super awesome computer. Somehow, I got it to work in windowed 1980x1080 with "good" graphics selected. Even so, it still crashed every time (once or twice) I would start the game. I encountered constant freezes, slow dialogue and very, VERY few save points. But man, was it all worth it! Why am I playing this so late? I honestly loved every minute. Highly recommended!
A thoughtful piece, on that of the industrial society, inclusive of its future. I must say, the inclusion of mazes perplexed me, and yet it rose to the top. The characters were tragic yet enveloping.
An absolutely fantastic game. I seriously cannot say how much I loved playing this. You genuinely can never guess where this game is going to go next and it always kept me hooked wanting to know what was going to happen. Normally this is where I'd post a link to my playthrough of the game but It's such an amazing game I don't want to risk someone watching it and not giving this dev their money because he deserves it and I want MORE MR. MAZE!!!
