Flower is a game that relies on the SIXAXIS motion sensing as a means of control and uses it skilfully..

Great recommendations, I love all the games listed that I've played so far. Going a bit stir-crazy with the constant WFH during this time. Thanks!!

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…"
If he hadn't tried to turn it into something it's not, he'd have enjoyed it more.
The reviewer seems to understand it's not designed as typical game, with a focus on challenge and points etc, but then seems to try and force the game into that mind set.
If he'd have simply "played" the game for what it was, rather than chasing trophies, and hoping for "points" and a scoreboard, it would of had much more of an impact.
it's really well done but it's just a flight sim with colorful nature and peaceful music.
No, I don't think Flow was a flight sim because it was 2D. And I see where you're trying to go but under the circumstances of controller input and what is detected this is enough flight sim for me and probably 99 out of 100 other normal people :)
