Review: Flower

Is it a game? A work of art? Either way, this Flower is an intriguing pick.

Hm ive seen quite a few topics lately about games counting as works of art I think this game comes shockingly close to it, Im more into the shooters but this game is beautiful if i saw this in the shop i would buy it, it looks rather fun and a joy to play.

My 2 year old loves the vid. In fact got to go and play it for a third time. Weeeeeeee

I've been waiting ages for this, flow changed my view of games and this looks to do the same again.

I was really dubious about Flower until I saw Jordan playing it. It's absolutely wonderful, and I was happily surprised to see how it reminded me of games like NiGHTS and SSX, yet was still so peaceful and lovely. If you have a PS3, you should definitely get the game. It's very special.

I'm super excited for the 'Artistic gaming showdown: Flower vs Braid!' thread that is inevitably coming.

Actually wait, this is the Escapist. I'm super excited for the 'FLOWER GRAPHIX: VERY AWESOME OR SORTA LESS AWEESOME???' thread.

I felt like something was massaging the back of my eyes while I was watching the video. This game looks like a great thing to help you relax after a stressful day. I wish I had a PS3 :/

Oh and after some time, which seems like a BILLION years, another game was released that makes games actually look like an art! God job

Susan, your "wheeeee!" made this whole review for me!

Gosh, I wish I had a PS3. This game looks wonderful.

I got a chance to play it at CES for 5 minutes. *sigh* I still remember those 5 minutes

That game is a definite buy for me for a few reasons
a.) I love flOw
b.) Looks enjoyable
c.) I'll probably cry that I can't live in a grassy plain like that (yep you heard me).

I've just staryed playing. It's lovely. Plus, if you press Select when playing you get a screensaver and if you hit Start it...well, I won't spoil it, but it's very well done.

 

[Andraste]

I need to get this game and set up a fan to blow at my face while I play, methinks.

 

[Novania]

The game looks like such a good stress reliever, it would be impossible to be mad about anything after you play it. It looks like fun.

 

[Nerdfury]

Looks like an innovative little game. I wonder when the copycats will come out of the woodwork?

"In our game, you play as a rock! And.. lie there! For points!"

A Flower? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H88-tiMG24

OT: Man, I wish my brother bought a PS3 instead of an Xbox....

 

[The_Prophet]

really looks nice.

Beautiful game, good review. I'll just nit-pick with this little error I found while reading.

Flower has actually has a relatively strong narrative - about better integrating nature into our cities and our lives.
