Basically, Flower is a beautiful and calm exploration type game. The playstyle and the idea is unique and is hardly comparable to other games. Like many indie games it tries out something totally new.

Yet hit as too many flaws in my eyes:
* too short
* becomes repetitive
* bugged ultra settings, not only me is getting flickering grass effects
* on Win10 there is a sound/music bug (activate Win7 compatibility to fix it)
* the game is designed for PS3/PS4 motion control, the PC however does not have a native support, yet it works on PC
* to get motion control with my PS4 controller I have to redefine my left analog stick manually to the gyro sensor, which is not a comfortable way
* analog stick controls and camera view is sometimes totally messed up if you get in corners
* the achievement Pure is only difficult to get because controls and clipping sucks (got hit from invisible objects, camera turned in the opposite way of the movement you do, just crazy)

This game can be entertaining for a short period - nothing more. Still I just can't figure out how the magazine Time thinks this is one of the top 100 games of all times.
