    Not much more than a beautiful art concept... The first 3-4 hours of the game are nice, but the rest of the game itself it's a little bit boring. Farming is poorly implemented and not very satisfying...

    Despite being an imperfect experience, there’s much to love about Summer in Mara. Each aspect of the game gives you something to do and a lot of control over how you want to approach it. While it can be easy to get sucked into the game’s progression through the quest system, you can still go at a slower pace should you desire. And this is definitely the recommended way to approach the game. Take it easy in Mara and enjoy this endless summer. Get excited with each new discovery and enjoy the trek! Even kids find the simple, consistently adorable adventure incredibly welcoming, so even if it’s not for you, Chibig has made something special for all ages! This indie team has lovingly crafted a big, heartwarming tale that can hopefully lead to more adventures in this world, or even the universe beyond.

    Summer in Mara is an ambitious approach to an adventure, with evident collecting and crafting elements. Not everything is plain sailing though; and soon, Summer in Mara will fee like winter with all the gameplay restrictions and lack of quality-of-life additions that would have made this game a paradise upon the Sea of Indies. It’s a title with character and hidden beauties, but only for players with the patience to grow over its rigidity.

    If you can look past the rough edges, there is a lot of fun to be had in the charming world of Mara.
