    I love games like Flower, but flow is missing the er in that game, making this game a rather pain in the ass! I like games like this indie game and I have played it on all consoles and even PC, but it is still not good.

    There is zero reason to play this game. The motion controls are awful, the gameplay is just eat other organism's and grow bigger and ..... well that's it. There is nothing i enjoyed about this game. It needs so much more development to be even considered an okay game

    Flow might entertain you with its relaxing and mellow presentation for a few minutes, but it soon becomes monotonous. The game's a playable screensaver, but nothing more.

    Like the first phase of "Spore", but with sh*tty motion controls and less player choice.

    Playstation's version of Google Chrome's "No Internet" dinosaur game...but with horrible controls.

    Flow ™ is not a serviceable game, not even a mediocre one. You assume one flowing -- no pun intended -- a peacock-esque organism that consumes its surroundings of white figurines and orbs. Despite being incredibly short, the absence of variety makes the game monotonous. There is positively no substance or anything to rectify the game.

    There are no conventional controls. When you pitch the Dualshock in a desired direction, your organism moves. These are unserviceable and employed in a way that spoils the experience. ThatGameCompany masquerades Flow ™ as a creative masterpiece when it qualifies more as a background theme than a quote-on-quote game.    … Expand

    flOw is still a good game, but its presence means different things, depending on the platform you're playing it on.

    flOw isn't but an easy way to add content for PS4. It's not a better version of the PS3 game. Only people that couldn't play it before will have fun with it. Even though, it's still a wonderful journey to the depths.

    FlOw is a unique little adventure that rewards players for investing in its world, but if it doesn't pull you in quick, its short length and repetitive gameplay will make for a forgetful experience.
