Flower, Sun and Rain

Flower, Sun and Rain

Waiting with a smile

There's also quite a bit of frustrating backtracking throughout the title. One particular quest had me running down five flights of stairs to talk to character A, back up to the fifth story roof to talk to character B, then back down to the lobby to talk to A again just so I could trigger an event back up on the fourth floor. Throw in the fact that you're tasked with traversing the entirety of Lospass on foot, and you've got a game best played in increments.

While I salute Flower, Sun and Rain for its innovation and uniqueness, its mind-boggling puzzles met with surreal gameplay makes for one hell of a trip in every sense of the word. One moment a modern masterpiece and the next an absolute chore, Flower, Sun and Rain is an intriguing adventure that you should only think about embarking on if you're in it for the long haul.

PROS: Absolutely bizarre; clever script; great soundtrack
CONS: Absolutely bizarre to a fault; too much backtracking; muddy visuals
