TSA writes: "Games are a great form of escapism; and never more so than in the current lockdown climate. Rather than the same four walls you can explore whole new horizons and experience different worlds. While this is often done in the name of violent adventures or the eradication of foes, sometimes it’s nice to just take a break from routine and try out a new way of life. Summer of Mara provides an entirely violence free escape from contagion and confinement and offers a welcome burst of sunshine."

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Considering today's current struggle with a pandemic, I've got to credit Chibig for crafting a game with such a wholesome attitude pulsing through its veins. Although I do think you can put a Tubman ($20) towards better titles, I don't blame anyone grabbing feel-good nourishment like this either. Nevertheless, my problems stem back to the game proper. There comes a time when repeating fetch quests feel like aeonian punishment – as though the boulder continuously rolls back down the mountain. Between this, the technical annoyances, and shambolic story, Summer in Mara slowly morphed into a winter of discontent."
