Our take on Flower
Players who expect combat or a layered progression system may hit a wall once they begin guiding the wind: the central activity is exploring landscapes and changing the environment, with no combat or broader system described.
What is Flower?
Flower is an interactive game where players guide the wind through varied landscapes.
Movement is controlled by steering the wind in the desired direction. As the journey continues, players interact with their surroundings and change the environment. The game presents grassy fields and other lush settings to explore at an unhurried pace, with its progression framed around finding balance and harmony in the surroundings. Its controls center on guiding the wind rather than a more complex control scheme. The vendor presents Flower as an emotional, personal experience and says it is accessible to gamers and non-gamers. The PC version offers this exploration-focused experience on the platform.
