    I wanted to like it but the game links camera to the cursor even while painting so it gave me severe motion sickness after 20 mins. I'm requesting a refund and would only consider buying it if there was an option to toggle the ability to freeze camera view with the canvas and object fitting nicely on screen, and only move the brush. Also, if the brush tool is selected, let us use the brush with left-click. Why is …

    Hands down the most fun art game out there. I found it as relaxing as powerwash simulator. You basically get painting comissions from clients. There's a sense of progress. You expand and hang your paintings in virtual galleries , you get money/rewards from your clients. You use money to buy decorations and more tools to expand on your drawings. You start out painting with brushes, then u get blenders, markers, …

    This sandbox ArtPG gave me the supportive and nurturing environment my inner artist never had growing up (nor deserved). The feeling of 'you can do no wrong' was so alien to me that it somehow overrides my imposter syndrome, makes it feel absurd. Why would this game include an undo function? There are no mistakes here. Throw a board on the floor and hit it with a blowtorch and a glitter cannon. The world applauds. …

    As a disabled artist, this game has honestly been a godsend. There are days I can't sit up to work on my irl projects but my brain desperately needs to create. My laptop can't handle most digital art programs and a lot of art games are pretty limiting and don't quite scratch the same itch, but this one does! The color and tool selection is great, the tools react as you'd expect, and you have complete freedom in what to make while still getting prompts should you want them. It isn't the same as…

    A great game for self expression. You get commissions aka art prompts, and then you make art. You can exhibit anything you want e.g. throw a bucket of paint on the canvas all the way to using a drawing pad and using the art prompts to create something spectacular. Has really helped me experiment with digital art (compared to my usual pencil and paper) The main story line takes 2nd place to the main point of "just make art"

SuchArt! is mostly a drawing/paint program wrapped up in a game environment with a dash finacial life sim throwing in.

    Welcome to SuchArt, a bloody, gory... oh wrong game. SuchArt is a peaceful, cutesy painting game where you can use unconventional tools like spoons and mops or alien teeth and blob pieces to paint masterpieces where the world is your canvas... or at least, your studio is. We don't pay you to paint your walls though, you need to actually paint pictures. From your loving sister Kyndle, to a crab alien named Koki Koki, your clients are guaranteed to be weird, wacky, and fun. The non-random clients…

    Been playing this game for years, it's just the best! A little laggy here and there but nothing serious, and there's many optimization options. The fact that you can splash anything on the canvas with all the crazy tools, and people will lap it up, honestly it's so freeing and helps me experiment with my art in new ways. I've made several pieces I'm legitimately proud of, and lots of others that maybe don't look as nice but were fun to make!

    I love this game, but even though it is steamdeck verified, it is so hard to control. The cursor is so slow for some reason, and L2 and R2 control both scrolling texts and the brush sensitivity, and I always accidentally have it be too sensitive after reading something, ruining a masterpiece. Also, touchscreen controls do not work in this game for some reason, which is a bit sad. It is playable, but a bit annoying. I am sure the game is easier to control on PC.
