PlayStation 3 User Reviews

Flower es una experiencia estética agradable que confunde interacción mínima con profundidad emocional. Funciona como poema visual y como demostración de control suave y dirección artística, pero carece de sistema: no hay tensión, no hay decisiones reales, no hay lectura del espacio más allá del desplazamiento. Es contemplativo, sí, pero también pasivo. Más instalación interactiva que videojuego.

One of the few genuine masterpiece indie games. This game was extremely well made, thought out, and programmed. Its graphics, controls, sound design, and overall concept, are all masterfully crafted. Flower sits solidly as one of the top 10 indie games of all time, and for very good reasons. Despite its short length, its emotional impact, fun factor, and replay value, are all incredibly high. ThatGameCompany absolutely knocked it out of the park, with this one.

Artísticamente muy bello, te atrapa en su mundo aunque sea por solo 1 o 2 horas

It was very beautiful and a showcase for the system, and is pretty fun too actually.

Beautiful and somber, Flower is a great and unique game that can be beaten in just a few hours.

Incredible game, extremely high-quality graphics, tactile controls, animations and, strange as it may seem, the plot

OTRO JUEGAZO DE ''thatgamecompany'' PLATAFORMA DEL ANALISIS: FLOWER PS3 mediante PSNOW en un sistema PS4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- De los creadores de ''Journey'' en mi opinión de los mejores Indies, Flower no se queda atras. Excelente juego unos gráficos impresionantes para ser un juego mas o menos antiguo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Se trata de un juego en el que manejamos a un pétalo llevado por el viento, al que se irán uniendo más pétalos de todas las flores por las que pasemos. Con esta premisa ya sabemos que tenemos delante un juego que no nos dejará indiferente, al menos por su originalidad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jugabilidad: Mecanicas simples (las justas y necesarias), recomendado jugarlo con mando Gráficos: El apartado visual es uno de los puntos fuertes de Flower. Sonido: Otro de los puntos fuertes del juego. La banda sonora es MUY BUENA, muy relajante, que es lo que uno busca al jugar a un título de estas características. Duracion: 1h --> 'Flower' es un título corto. Consta de seis niveles, representados por una flor situada al lado de una ventana, y cada uno de ellos puede completarse en unos diez minutos de media aproximadamente. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Totally in the continuity of the game 'Journey': clever, contemplative, beautiful, pleasant and not that hard. The levels system is interesting and allows the game to show some variety. The gameplay is great and the idea to control petals with the controller without having to press any button is amazing even if the PS3 doesn't recognize every single move you do. It kind of reminds me of 'Mario Kart' on Wii when, as a child, I turned the controller so hard that my character turned the other way around. Sound atmosphere is as amazing as the little story you have to construct by yourself. The core message is simple but marvelous. The semi-open world is fantastic and allows you to freely explore the environment. It's a shame 'flower' only lasts three of four hours straight.

If you're expecting something conventionally fun, you wont find anything of the sort here. The controls are bad and the gameplay is boring. It has a chill vibe, but that can get counteracted by the frustration often involved with the controls. Its price is low enough and its short enough that if you think theres a chance you'll like it you should take a shot at it, but I didn't enjoy it at all.

Flower es más una experiencia audiovisual que un videojuego, hayq ue decirlo. La puntuación es teniendo en cuenta que es una experiencia diferente y no muy larga que digamos. Mentiendonos en materia, vemos un juego simple, unas mecánicas sencillas, un mundo que necesita de nuestra ayuda para volver a su máximo esplendor. La música nos guiará en esta aventura y hará que sea una expriencia relajante. Es una experiencia que recomiendo probar a todo el que tenga una PS3, pues es exclusivo.

This is a short artistic game where the music and the visual beauty are the best. It took me almost 2 hours counting the credits (where you can play). Although there's one mission that I could not completely finish.

A Masterpiece, loved everything about this game, it is definitely a must play!

太无聊了，而且手柄操作难受，好在流程短。当年在ps3上40港币买的，不值

I thought I would hate this game, but it was on sale for 99 cents and I saw how much praise it had gotten, so I tried it. I'm so glad I did. I have never felt so emotional in a game. Not exactly angry, sad, happy, or anything specific. I simply felt overcome by the beauty and catharsis that this game provides. It's an experience everyone should have.

Fantastic experience! Beautiful game, the soundtrack is amazing, and it's veeery cheap! Eve if you're a hardcore gamer, i recommend it! I am one myself, mainly FPS and TPS, and i LOVED it, it's very calming and a great experience to the end!

Flower is a video game developed by That game company and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. In Flower, the player controls the wind, blowing a flower petal through the air using the movement of the game controller. + Relaxing and Beautiful

Absolutely one of the most beautiful and artistic games I've ever played. It's hard to articulate how relaxed and happy this game made me feel, and I think it's definitely one of best mini-games of its year for sure. Using the Sixaxis takes some getting used to, but this game is one of the very, very, very few that use it well. The music is outstanding, the scenery is hard to describe in one word, as excellent, or amazing would be an understatement, and the subtlety of the "story" is just spot on. The devs have been quiet about this game, but I'd really love to see a sequel, or even anything else similar to this.

Flower is a video game developed by Thatgamecompany and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. In Flower, the player controls the wind, blowing a flower petal through the air using the movement of the game controller. Flying close to flowers results in the player's petal being followed by other flower petals. Approaching flowers may also have side-effects on the game world, such as bringing vibrant color to previously dead fields or activating stationary windmills. The game features no text or dialogue, forming a narrative arc primarily through visual representation and emotional cues.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Thatgamecompany have a solid reputation for developing video games that aren’t actually conventionally video games, however, more than 5 years later, Flower evokes emotions throughout its stunning visuals, lush colors, and joyous soundtrack. It’s not a surprise that it’s not for everyone and the motion controls can still be frustrating if you’re not adapted to them—and since very, very few games have taken advantage of this feature, that frustration is warranted for a lot of gamers—it’s still a must-play for anyone willing to spend their 7 bucks on it, whether it’s the PS3 or PS4.

Far from a traditional game, but rather a chance to relax. You literally play as flower petals soaring through the wind. Plenty of emotional impact, short, cheap, easy trophies.

A peaceful & enchanted game. Really original & fun to play (but also watch!) There is something here....that could be grown for other kind of games ! Thanks

Flower isn't necessarily a game, but it is definitely worth playing by all means. Pros: The visuals look astounding. It may not be the most impressive game in terms of graphics, but the art direction is phenomenal. The soundtrack is stunning. It is very peaceful, calm and it fits the tone of the game perfectly. The controls may seem a bit fiddly at first, but when you get used to it, the control is really smooth and swift. Flower feels like a silent film, but it has less emphasis on the story and more on the relaxing gameplay. I did feel like there was a message Flower was trying to get across, but i'll leave that to you to find out (or look up on the internet). Cons (More like a drawback for some people): Aside from possibly wanting to find all the secrets and gain all trophies, there is no real replay value for Flower. Overall, Flower is one of the purest games I have ever played. I would say it is more of an experience rather than a fully fledged game, but it is still worth picking up. 10/10

amazing visuals and an amazing soundtrack. My only issue is one certain level that seems to be either too difficult or impossible to pass. Solid game and should be played.

Another extremely short game from Thatgamecompany, but another highly unique and calming experience. A rare game that makes great usage of the sixaxis and perfect if you've had enough of shooting zombies for one day.

some people say "whoo this game is mind blowing" and some say "wow the visuals are beautiful". but i say "what the **** is wrong with these people??" i mean this game is damn overrated. this is not a bad game but it is not as good as people and critics say. it is a mediocre game. you control a flower petal and you have to just travel with motion control. no challenge at all. i give it a 5/10.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Breathtaking life of the petal of a flower. There is an amazing flow of harmony here, where with your own moves you control the nature itself and fight for the harmony of nature against civilization. Extremely simple, really relaxed feel and a slow pace, but the entire eco message goes beyond videogame and it can really open many children's eyes. 8/10

Simple and Beautiful. Just press a button and move your controller. This game is not going to be for everyone but it is definitely worth a try. The PS4 version of the game only delivers a better experience of this piece of art.

Bought this because everyone says it's a 9/10. I was disappointed. Gameplay: You move flower petals around over other flowers to accumulate more. There is no words to read, no story at all. Just you moving your controller and not understanding why you have to collect more petals. 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. 0/10

What the...! 8.8 in user score average! To me, Flower should be more intense to be a good action game, more tricky to be a good puzzle game, more imaginative to be a good adventure game, more impressive to be a good hardware showoff, longer to be a good retail game. The campaign ends very abruptly, just as it's about to get interesting, so half the game feels like the beginning levels of any other game... like a tutorial basically. I LOVE the concept and the subtle environmentalist message, but at the same time I have a problem with that as well: it preaches nature, but it demands a piece of consumer technology in order to be heard. Its depiction of nature is very simplistic and romantic. Where are the bacteria? Where are the fungi and all the natural stuff that messes up beauty? It's not in the game. Just as there are no explanations for the flowers or anything that could enlighten people now that the attention is there. All it shows is beautiful nature versus the factories and cities where WE sit consuming the message. I guess it's a subversive approach to the medium, but as simplistic as we see it here, I expect the constructive message to be lost on most gamers.

About the best and most original game I've played this generation. You have to control the wind and make one leaf into a wide colored beautiful group of leaves. More importantly, the world because more beautiful and opens up as you open flowers, make dying grass green again and essentially create life. One of the most beautiful graphics I've ever seen, couldn't get enough off this game. Why only a 9? Because the game is too short, for some reason replaying it feels wrong (the second playthough will never be as good as the first) so after a 2,5 hours that's it. And lastly, it's nice to control the wind with the sixaxis but moving the controller like that is not always that comfortable and doesn't always work perfectly.

Flower is the most aesthetically-pleasing, calming, serene game I've played. I thoroughly enjoyed the tilt-control gameplay that puts you in the part of the wind, opening flowers as you fly along with each flower playing a musical notation upon opening. Easily my favorite game; and definitely my favorite to play to de-stress.

This games sounds awful on paper: you control some petals by tilting your controller and holding down X to run into flowers. Despite this, the gameplay is tricky enough to keep your interest and the atmosphere and wordless story, at once deceptively simple and yet compellingly intangible, is possibly one of the most moving games I've ever played. If you can't see past shooters and bouncing on creatures heads, then this may not float your boat, but for those looking for a genuinely different experience in gaming, that isn't lodged squarely up its own backside, this is it. Worth the money and dismiss this as a 'girly game' because of the flora. Just try it.

While not generally suited to the action and first-person shooter audience, Flower gives players a flowing (no pun intended), minimalistic, and overall powerful meaning, and for the duration of the game (2-5 hours, not counting extra time not playing it), it's well worth the money if you want a visual story not told from text or speech.

Very beautiful and relaxing this game is, the graphics and music and the way the sixaxis controller is so well done is amazing! All 3 of this developers games are great to play if you like flower try journey and flow, you wont be disappointed.

This game is beauty. Some could think it's boring, but I think it's poetic. You are the wind, you can fly over hills and ponds, you drag behind you a long trail of petals, you can turn all the ugly human structures into colorful plants. It's just beautiful.

How does playing as a bunch of flower petals moving through the wind sound? Not that great. My thoughts afterwards: YES PLEASE. Having no clue what the game was when I started playing it I was really great experience to build my own opinion of the game entirely free of outside influence. I was confused at first as to why I was a petal and moving around with motion controls. After having set down the game for 15 minutes to take a break I found myself wanting to pick it right back up and keep floating around. It had a level of relaxation, visual awe, and awesome interactive sound track that really tied it together as an "experience" game. It's hard for me to understand why I enjoyed this so much, because conceptually this sounds like an incredibly boring and pointless game. Once you get going it rapidly grew on me and I really appreciated what Flower is. Definitely on the short side but in retrospect I wouldn't have wanted it to be any longer. For those who haven't played, I absolutely think you should: the last level is incredibly fulfilling.

This is a game everyone should play. It's also a game that everyone CAN play since the controls are simple and intuitive. Some might find Flower boring and short, but the rest will find it relaxing and wonderful. One could beat the game in a couple hours, but I find it has excellent replay value when you just need to relax and take your mind off something. The music is beautiful and changes with your surroundings, and the graphics are incredible as well. You can't compare Flower to any other game, and in my mind, that alone makes it worth buying.

Perhaps one of the best video games I've ever played! It is more of an interactive experience than it is a game. I will try not to spoil anything. You will need a DualShock 3/SIXAXIS controller to play this experience. You guide a swarm of flower pedals and tilt the controller to bloom all of the flowers with your swarm. This game is also educational of human impact on the environment. If you are looking for a safe online game for your children of any age to play, look no further!

Flower... original and very beautiful game i ever seen, but besides that, very boring, you can play only 1 hour before falling asleep. I think it is just an excuse to show the potential of the PS3.

Truly a beautiful, mesmerizing game. If I were to explain this to someone that has no idea about it, it would sound like the lamest thing in the world. It even took me like 2 years to play it because it's like you are a flower? That floats in the wind? That certainly is all there is too it but at the same time it's so much more. You seriously cannot be mad playing this game, it has a strange soothing quality to it. I recommend this to any gamer.

Not much to say about Flower. It's a nice relaxing game that feels like a painting come to life. It has a certain type of sleepy catharsis about it that helps me unwind after a busy day. It's not the most challenging or deepest game ever created.. But then again, what do you expect from a game based around flowers? The question is: Do you want to win the "Games as art" argument? Look no further.

Awesome game, some days before I play the boring Journey, I decide play flower, and the result is completely different than the other SCEA game, is addictive, interesting a masterpiece.

Flower isn't so much **** in a traditional sense though it does have a "goal" for each level but more so just an... Experience. I can't really think of how else to put it as there is just nothing else around that is really like it. Visually stunning with soothing music and simplicity in its approach it really is just a matter of simply letting go of yourself.

Most stunning game you'll play in your life. It's beautiful and extremely unique. The only downsides is the short campaign, although the prise is rightly chosen. As well as the rather dark level toward the end. All and all a great game!

One of the greatest and most relaxing down loadable games you'll ever play. Don't hear those who say it's too short and not worth the money. This is one of the few games (if not the only) that will make you feel sad for what we are doing to nature. It's a most buy and it will remain one of the most unique games on your game library for a long time.

Seeing all those good reviews makes me wonder why I still look to reviews ... if I want to relaxe, I'll watch TV, play to a game with a lot of cinematics (not a FPS), play to a game like Little Big Planet ... but never I'll play this boring game, yes it's beautiful but just go outside if you want to see flowers ... top 10 of the worst game I've played.

Stunning graphics and vibrant colors does not make up for shallow gameplay. Too much of flower is just comprised of guiding a flower pedal in the air and gathering more flower pedals. It was definitely stunning to see all of them rendered so lifelike but it's something I would be amazed to see as an E3 tech demo, not as a video game.

Wonderful. Atmospheric , addictive , fluid and mesmerising. This game must have been thought of in a dream or a transient state. Indeed I wish I'd thought of it. Doctors should prescribe Flower to people with high blood pressure. Gamers should play it to experience the ultimate chillout. Everyone else should play it just because its a unique unforgettable experience. Beautiful.
