Flower has no story, it has no characters. It only seems to make a statement. Go outside, and make the world a better place. Flower touches on the tones of the big city destroying our naturally beautiful world with it’s big buildings, and ugly construction sites…. I think. This game can truly be considered art. It’s left up to the interpretation of its audience. All video games are art, but that’s for another Monday.
The gameplay is simple: hold button, steer controller. The objective is simple, fly over other flowers, make them grow, bring the place back to live. And boy does it ever come back to life. The environment turns from a dull gray to lively greens, blues, reds, whites, and a plethora of many other colors that send you into a shock of awe. It’s a game that you can sit back and admire. Te game can be beaten, or rather completed, in about 45 minutes to an hour. It’s not supposed to be a long game, but it’s fun and pretty and you should play it.
That Game Company, the developers of Flower, have a brilliant team of folks at their studio and who can make a game that is simple and enjoyable. They were also at this years E3, showing off their up and coming game, Journey. While it has nothing to do with the band of the same name, it still looks amazing. It maintains the feel of a game by That Game Company while being something else all together. Be sure to keep track of That Game Company and all that they are doing at http://thatgamecompany.com/
