You use this cash for absolutely nothing beyond apparently baguettes and wine. Every painting you make is sold for sweet cash. There is a way to lose the game in the form of bankruptcy. You start off with nothing but a canvas, one brush and your imagination. You might think there isn’t really much to talk about when it comes to how complex this game can be but you’re wrong. If you haven’t figured it out yet, Passpartout is a game about painting. Despite that, I admit I myself, wanted more but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the game. I found that you do become intimately familiar with the different forms and styles of painting. If you are looking for something with a tycoon aspect like Painter’s guild, you’re not going to find it. This is solely about painting nothing more. While that sounds obvious, it’s something I felt needed to be stated. Passpartout is game you only get as much out of as much as you put in. If you are really, really good at using Microsoft paint and can make the Mona Lisa you can still play this game. If you are like me and can only manage terrible stick figures, you can still play this game. The beautiful thing about art is that it’s completely subjective and Passpartout captures this extensively. Passpartout is our canvas today and the games’ features are its paints and brushes. When a game comes along and gives me the chance to live out that painter fantasy, it has my attention. Then I realize that sounds awful, and stick to games. Still, sometimes I see myself in a fancy beret, pencil mustache, and talking about how ephemeral things are. We have been there though, looked at art and gone, “I can do that!” then quickly realized these people were talented and had years of practice. The Joy of Painting was my first example that art can be done beautifully, compared to my own art adventures where it looked like I was electrocuted holding a marker. When a white guy with a huge afro appears on my screen with a white canvas and the voice of an angel. It’s the 90’s, I am bored and up way too late at night watching public access television.
