At 628 MB, it’s heftier than the average PSN game, and at $9.99, it's easy to accuse Flower of being over too quickly. Your first play-through might take as long as two hours if you take your time, and someone who rushes to completion could probably finish it in half an hour or less. However, Flower is a meant to be both played and appreciated in equal measure, and the experience needn't end after the credits. For one thing, the theme that emerges gradually and develops in the game's latter half is surprising and effectively thought-provoking (without going into detail, I’ll just say that flowers have nightmares, too). But most simply, soaring through these beautiful dreams will never get old for those who find the experience as enchanting as I do.
Flower is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB.
