Critic Reviews for Été
Ete might be simplistic, but it has so much heart and gives you so much room to express yourself that, like a paintbrush and an easel, it can be more than its parts. Technical hitches disrupt its flow and a shallow narrative can hold it back, but it’s worth seeing what you can create for yourself.
Été is a video game that is good for you – literally.

Beautiful and cleverly designed, Été is a game all about painting: literally paint the world around you, and create works of art for the people you meet. It's held back a little by a few technical niggles, but it's impossible to let them get in the way of how utterly joyful this game is to play.
Été is a relaxing painting game with a summery feel, gorgeous visuals, and a lovely soundtrack. It feels perfect for this ridiculously hot summer when the best thing we can do is stay inside and wait for the heat wave to pass. But you know, it will also be perfect for the cold months when we need a reminder of what summer feels like.
Été is an extremely relaxing game, at which I spent several truly enjoyable hours. Although the storyline seems to have been added by force and the optimization leaves much to be desired, the slow and relaxing gameplay means that these shortcomings don't bother you at all. Painting the world brings considerable satisfaction, and the image editor in the right hands can produce beautiful results.

Été presents a relaxed adventure during a hot summer, where painting and personal relationships come together in a curious indie game.

Despite my “slow day” worries, I really enjoyed Été. The game is zen-like and relaxing. You never feel rushed to complete your missions. The people you meet are jovial and smiling (except for the grumpy customer at the bagel store). The city is beautiful, colorful and lively. The game's music is soft and intoxicating. It blends perfectly with the watercolor visuals and the zen spirit you feel while playing. In short, it's the perfect game to play... in summer!
