"I spent part of today reading Flower reviews. Not to inform my buying decision, as I had already downloaded Flower from the PlayStation Network last weekend, and I'd played it to completion. I wanted to see what game reviewers thought about ThatGameCompany's follow up to Flow.
When Flow arrived for the PS3 in early 2007, many reviewers didn't know what to think. Set in a surreal aquatic micro-ecosystem, Flow used the Sixaxis' motion controls to steer a tiny, luminous invertebrate through a series of simple evolutionary stages. It was quiet, lovely, and meditative. It didn't look or play like other games, and its lack of direction, story, or interface proved troublesome to many reviewers."

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Flower is a gorgeous, well-crafted and relaxing game, but I have to say, I don’t get the massive love towards it. Its “story”, if you can call it that, is far from deep and thought-provoking as some say it is, its duration is borderline insulting for its asking price, and it just doesn’t motivate you to replay it after you’re done with its half a dozen levels. Sadly, Flower isn’t as meaty as it should be. A fair point in a way, given it’s a game about plants…"
