PS3Blog.netDec 201885/100Passpartout: The Starving Artist is definitely a good catch for those of you looking for a casual and relaxing experience. If you're looking for a game to de-stress with, then this is exactly what you need. It's not a very challenging game, and there's no online or local multiplayer, so it'll probably be best for the “Me Time” section of your gaming collection. If you want a quirky and charming game for the Nintendo Switch in which you take on the role of a starving artist, then this is exactly what you need!

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyOct 20184/5 starsIn the end, I found it difficult to keep coming up with new ideas for art works - and perhaps that's another piece of commentary to take from the game; when artists are forced into endless creation loops by the necessities of commercial demand, it tends to be difficult keeping the creative drive high. Despite that, I never stopped finding Passpartout enjoyable, thanks to its lighthearted presentation and biting, and yet amusing, sense of humour.

NintendoWorldReportDaan KoopmanOct 20188/10I do think it is a shame that the story built around this tool set doesn't go any deeper. The game really guides from point A to B without you having a say in the matter. That isn't the worst thing, but I do reckon it will put those looking for something deep off.
