Flower

Flower in the game world is a bit like a poem in literature. The short production by thatgamecompany studio, originally released exclusively for Sony consoles, features not only original gameplay mechanics, but also some freedom to interpret what the game is actually about. To some extent, this becomes clear when we watch the moments when beautiful landscapes suddenly transform into cold, industrial scenery. Fortunately, the ecology theme in Flower is not particularly pushy.

The already extremely relaxing gameplay comes to the fore. The idea of traveling and exploring the environment using flower petals and light gusts of wind proved to be a hit. Nothing here stresses us out nor does it require breakneck skills or haste. Combined with beautiful music and nice graphic design, we get a really relaxing production. This is a game that would make even moderate anti-gamers come around.
