    Don’t really get the appeal of flower. Yeah, it’s fairly beautiful and I get the overall message, but I was honestly pretty bored the entire time and it didn’t really soothe any stresses. Seems more like art than a game, so I’m not a fan.

    I tried Flower ... its not for me !
    What I can't understand though is why it's rated so highly ?
    My guess is that a critic or two saw something magical within it ... probably the same critics who view a piece of wool on a plate of melted ice cream and poo and call it art !! Quite frankly .. I think its a joke. Poor sound, awful graphics and basic (we're talking zx spectrum ) levels of    I tried Flower ... its not for me !

    That is .. quite frankly disrespectful to the hard working, dedicated and creative people who strive to give us "real" games for our new gen consoles.

    Hey, remember when a game was made to be at least slightly fun? You're a petal... and you fly in the wind... I've played games that are surreal and strange yet I was still able to enjoy them, this game though...
    Save your time and play something else.

    Deleted the game after 2 missions, bad puzzles like teaching you how to use a PS4 controller, no excitement in the game, not enjoyable at all. Don't bother buying.

    There is nothing appealing here. Awful controls (it is motion controled), awful camera movement, unimpressive graphics. I got bored easily. Do not recommend.

    One point for being visually beautiful. That's it. There's nothing else to say about this game. If you want a beautiful game, get flower. If you want a game with anything else at all, don't.

    This game has very, very little to offer. I can not understand anyone actually playing this game for more than 5 minutes without turning it off through sheer boredom. There are so many 10s here and for what? Scenery? Ludicrous. One of the worst games I have ever played, and will never, ever play it again.

    This is not a game, and should not be classified as such.
    This is a phone application with enhanced graphics.

    It is beautiful, but is not a game.

    I found myself bored, and wondering why the critics acclaim this game while busting Knack.

    I've had more fun lighting my farts. What a ridiculous game. This should be free, it was free on the Windows Phone and it was still terrible. On the plus side compared to the ridiculous price of Angry Birds Star Wars which is 32.99, which, quite simply, left me speechless, then this is a steal.

    This is one game that didn't need to exist much less be ported. The gameplay is pointless and completely uninteresting. The graphics are really the only good thing about this game. Why they ported this waste of time and not Journey is completely beyond me.

    This game is like.. let's say you have a completely basic home made potato dish. But it's the kind of food you're craving right now right?

    The game consists of controlling flower petals blown by the wind. When you encounter other flowers, their petals join your current collection of petals. When you make contact with several flowers in an area, sometimes the color of the grass surrounding you changes. This happens over and over, with nothing new happening to add to the very simple pattern.

    I'm all in favor of experimenting with new ways of understanding what a video game can be. It's certainly true that Flower is quite unlike any other video game I'm aware of. I have respect for the developers in doing something that seems completely new.

    As a whole, however, I have to say that I found playing Flower to be among the least enjoyable experiences of any video game I've ever played.    … Expand

    It's a decent game for the price, but it gets boring fast. I don't understand how people are giving this a 10, it doesn't feel like a proper game.

    This game is incredibly boring; you spend 2 hours flying as a petal which takes more petals until you make everything pretty. It's barely a game, and while it did stir emotions towards the end the experience felt shallow. It has absolutely no replay value, and there are far better ways to unwind. Looks pretty, but has no substance whatsoever.

    This "game" gets a 0, all the critics giving it 10's are just pretentious its an over priced HD fluff piece that makes wet pain seem like a keg party. Its the equivalent of a childs pop up book, hardly engaging or entertaining. You could go talk a walk and get more enjoyment from that than anything this glorified video could give you.

    Youre joking right? Maybe for someone who is on hard drugs, or autistic, then the game could be something interesting. But for the rest of us, who live normal interesting life, this title doesnt offer NOTHING. I would rather watch grass on my lawn grow (hint - better graphics than in praised "flower") than waste any time with this "game".

    This is not a game, it feels more like a screen saver. if you are into that, then I guess... spend your money. Chances are you have something more compelling on your computer already, just wait 30 minutes and you'll see what I mean.

    Story:None
    Replayabllity: None
    Controls: You have to use the six axis which no game ever uses, and it shouldn't because it feels clunky. And since there is literally no words in this entire game there is no way to learn the controls other than fumbling your way through trying to figure out what any of the 14 buttons do.

    I paid 7 dollars for this game, and I feel it was a waste of 6 of those dollars. Even after reading these good reviews, I don't understand how people can call this a form of entertainment.

    No, just NO. This isn't just a game that's not worth even $1, it's not really a game.
    You'll have more fun watching a fish aquarium screensaver.

    What are we even talking about here??

    This was mildly interesting for about 15 minutes, and somewhat nice to look at, then I realized I was doing nothing and turned it off. It's unlikely I'll ever look at it again.

    The 2 points is just for the ambition of turning this concept into an entire game.

    A rubbish art game designed to impress critics who got the game for free. Anybody who has to pay money for this would be disappointed. There is no gameplay here.

    "I want to be taken seriously but I only have an arts degree, please help me make a game that I can expose at an art gallery".

    That's this game in a nutshell. Don't bother.
