Flower (2009 Video Game) User Reviews

Simple yet Beautiful

[shadowcryghost · 7/10 · 14 June 2020]

If you're here looking for a deep story, you'll be disappointed. Flower isn't exactly that type of game, in fact, its purpose lies in being a game for you to play when you just need to relax and not get frustrated at difficult challenges. At least that's the impression I got from playing it.

However, it still felt...underwhelming at certain parts, a bit repetitive. It's obvious that they put a lot of effort into this experience, and that they tried to go new ways with it, but they could've done even more with the concept, which is a bit of a shame. Despite this, I still find myself coming back to Flower every now and then, since it does the job of relaxing the player very well.

Timeless experience

I kept having relaxing feelings and thinking about art while playing it which I think is what it's supposed to do make your thinking because the gameplay is mostly just about feeling like the wind and pudding up giant winds of flowers.

So it looks amazing today. It has a timeless look because of the art style and it's so relaxing and good to play I like it so much that I got all achievements. Just to play it more because I enjoyed it that much.

It doesn't waste your time at all and the story is flowers dreaming of a brighter house and brighter world. It's just nice good. I can't really say too much about it. They didn't the story too much to talk about it's mostly about you the person playing it and what you get out of watching it and playing it.

Neat Experimentation, if not entirely fulfilling

The title of this review says it all, I thought this game was neat, and worth checking out if you get it bundled with Journey, though it doesn't really satiate any particular needs I have when playing a video game. There isn't any narrative, its gameplay is simple and unchallenging, and it doesn't operate with the profound emotional core Journey had going for it. It's very pretty and it has nice music and it's only 90 minutes to complete, but it's not worth springing for unless you get it bundled with Journey.
