About

Maize is a 2016 first-person adventure game that blends absurdist humor with puzzle-solving gameplay. Drawing inspiration from Monty Python and The X-Files, the indie title features quirky dialogue, mysterious storylines, and clever environmental puzzles to uncover. It's a narrative-driven experience that prioritizes creativity and comedy over action or graphical spectacle.

Performance-wise, Maize is highly accessible for older and budget gaming systems. The game requires just 4 GB of RAM and runs smoothly on modest GPUs from the GTX 750 Ti era or equivalent. You can expect solid 60+ FPS on mid-range hardware across various graphics settings, making it an excellent benchmark title for testing performance on entry-level builds. Even integrated graphics can handle this game reasonably well.

With a 61/100 rating, Maize offers a unique experience for players who enjoy indie adventures and offbeat humor. However, if you're looking for action-packed gameplay or cutting-edge visuals, this puzzle-focused adventure may not be your priority. It's best suited for those who appreciate clever writing and unconventional storytelling.

Performance profile

Released in December 2016, Maize sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

Maize is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — Maize runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
