    The simple act of stopping to observe, and then thinking somewhat critically about the creature, is what makes Flock so special to me. When playing, I wasn’t fighting these creatures or going up to them and assaulting them like I would in a Pokémon game. Instead, I was finding a way to learn about them, and only then would they glide around and vibe with me. Equal parts whimsical and thoughtful, Flock is a must-play for anyone who loves creatures, being a naturalist, or in my case, collecting fun little guys.

    In practise mine was an entirely solo flight, but I enjoyed it. It's a little repetitive, there are some slight snags where the game might forget that you already hit that story beat and makes you do it again, but Flock is full of good-humour, freedom, and playfulness. It's the sort of thing you wouldn't play all the time, but could check in with after a long day. Tomorrow, you think, I must have a job where I email people. But tonight, I will hunt for that elusive Sprug that pretends to be a fruit.
