The Flower Collectors Reviews

Rough around the edges, but still manages to execute well enough on its core premise and gameplay loop. Yeah, the animations are rigid, blend trees and a few extra animations would have gone along way to increasing immersion, but the core idea and story of the game is what made it enjoyable. Starting off, I was not a fan of the protagonist, they did a decent job selling him as a grumpy ex-cop who worked under a dictator right wing police force. It would have been nice to have a bit more time, or something more to further show his perception change throughout the years, but within the chapters they did a decent enough job. Having the game spent on the balcony looking over the street is a premise I have enjoyed in other titles. A few times however I was a bit disappointed; for example, it would ask the player to guide a character through the street avoiding the police. I would tell them when the coast was clear. As they were moving from point A to B, the police would turn around and the character would CLEARLY walk in front of the police. These faux stealth parts were a bit of a bummer. The tension at moments were good. Unravelling the mystery was engaging, albeit completely predictable from the start as to whodunit. I do wish, they were a little less n the nose about that, but in any case for a short 2.5 hour long game, I enjoyed my time on this old mans balcony.
